I’m a hands-on architect and former Staff Engineer with 30+ years of experience designing backend systems, AI-driven platforms, microservices, and cloud infrastructure. I partner with founders and CTOs who need senior technical leadership without hiring a full-time executive.
Where I help: validating architecture, de-risking scaling plans, and unblocking teams so they can ship faster with confidence.
I partner with founders, CTOs, and engineering leaders who need senior technical guidance for architecture, scaling, and delivery. Most collaborations start with a focused architecture review and grow into a 4–12 week fractional CTO or advisory engagement.
1–2 days per week of senior technical leadership. I help translate business goals into a clear technology roadmap, guide architectural decisions, and support your engineering lead or CTO with an experienced second opinion.
A deep, objective review of your current or proposed software architecture: APIs, data models, microservices, reliability, observability, security, and scaling strategy — with pragmatic recommendations you can implement immediately.
Modernisation plans that move you from monoliths or legacy stacks to modern cloud-native architectures using incremental patterns, not disruptive rewrites. Focused on risk management, rollout safety, and business continuity.
Hands-on design and implementation of backend services, domain models, and integrations for web and mobile products. Strong emphasis on clean contracts, observability, and operational excellence from day one.
Setting up robust AWS environments, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and incident-ready operations so your platform can scale safely. I help you choose sensible defaults and avoid over-engineering.
Regular architecture and code review sessions with your engineering team. We improve design, push for better engineering practices, and create a culture of thoughtful system design instead of quick hacks.
Aotoza is a mobility and ride-management platform for auto-rickshaws and public transport, featuring virtual stand queues, driver selection logic, route optimisation, and mobile apps for drivers and passengers. The platform is designed for high concurrency and real-time decision-making in dense urban environments.
Zillam connects customers with trusted electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and other local professionals. The platform includes a promotions engine, franchise and territory model, subscription tiers for vendors, and analytics dashboards for tracking growth and performance.
SmartFix AI helps technicians and customers diagnose issues (such as electrical or plumbing problems) from uploaded photos. The system combines AWS Rekognition with custom label mapping and structured logging to build a dataset for future bespoke ML models and smarter troubleshooting.
Prefer to start small? Let’s begin with a focused 45-minute architecture session.
Share your current challenges — performance issues, reliability concerns, scaling plans, migration worries, or team gaps — and I’ll walk through practical next steps. The goal is simple: give you clear technical direction grounded in decades of real-world experience.
