Scaling Architecture for High-Growth Teams

I help companies fix the technical friction that stalls growth—whether that's an exploding AWS bill, a database that can't keep up, or a dev team that's lost its velocity.

Core Expertise

Specialised solutions for complex technical challenges.

Scale & Performance

MySQL performance tuning and high-throughput architecture. I build systems that don't break when your user base doubles overnight.

Practical AI Integration

Moving beyond the hype. I build agentic workflows and real-time voice models that actually solve business problems without blowing the token budget.

Cloud Cost Recovery

Your AWS bill is likely 30% higher than it needs to be. I audit your Fargate, RDS, and EC2 usage to find where you're overpaying.

Payment Pipelines

End-to-end payment flows for Stripe and Braintree. I handle the edge cases—reconciliation, disputes, and vaulting—so your finance team doesn't have to.

Data & Call Intelligence

Automated analysis of massive datasets and call recordings. I help you find the signals in the millions of logs and audio files you're currently ignoring.

Security & Resilience

Incident response and secure-by-design coding. Hardening your systems before things go wrong, and leading the recovery if they already have.

Strategic Team Review

I audit development teams to find the bottlenecks in your delivery. Improving velocity by fixing process, not just adding more developers.

Fractional & Interim CTO

Strategic technical leadership for founders and CEOs. I act as your technical advisor—steering roadmaps, mentoring leads, and vetting big technical bets.

Legacy Modernisation

Rescuing profitable but aging codebases. Moving monoliths to the cloud and refactoring for modern scale without service interruption.
