Principal Engineer & Solution Architect

I step in when you need senior technical leadership but aren't ready for a permanent hire — architecting platforms, designing migrations, and building capabilities that outlast my involvement.

What I do

Senior technical expertise for organizations navigating complex challenges — without the overhead of a permanent hire.

Architecture & Platform Design

When your legacy system blocks growth or you need to build something new without betting the business on a big-bang launch. I design the technical solution and migration approach, work with your team to evaluate trade-offs, and guide implementation to preserve architectural intent.

Technical Leadership & Team Building

When your teams need guidance through complex challenges, you're establishing engineering practices, or you need help with technical hiring. I embed with your team, provide code reviews and architecture direction, coach developers, and help establish practices teams can maintain independently.

Developer Tooling & Practices

When your teams lack modern development practices or the tools they built themselves aren't maintainable. I build CI/CD pipelines, development libraries, and CLI tools, introduce workflows and automation, then coach teams to maintain everything independently.

About me

I've been solving complex technical problems since 2008. Started at NATO refactoring 2-million-line codebases, now I architect platforms for growing retail organizations.

I don't just deliver projects — I build development libraries, design systems, and CI/CD pipelines that teams adopt as their own. The goal is always to create lasting capability, not dependency.
