Software Architecture
System design, API strategy and microservices done right — with the trade-offs made explicit. Domain modeling, event-driven design and pragmatic decisions that age well.
Independent consulting
Software architecture that scales.
From fintech to cloud. I help engineering teams design, build and operate systems that stay fast, reliable and observable as they grow.
What I do
Engineering depth, where it matters most
Hands-on consulting across the full lifecycle — from a whiteboard architecture to production at scale.
Cloud & Infrastructure
Architecture, migration and cost optimization on AWS, Azure and GCP. Infrastructure as code, resilient networking and platforms your team can actually own.
Development — APIs & Microservices
High-throughput APIs, messaging and distributed services built for correctness and scale. .NET and Go, clean boundaries, and code that holds up under load.
Observability
Metrics, tracing and logging that turn incidents into insight. SLOs, dashboards and alerting so you find problems before your customers do.
How I work
Principles over silver bullets
A consulting style focused on outcomes, knowledge transfer and systems your team keeps owning after I'm gone.
Production-first
Real systems, real load, real on-call. Decisions are grounded in what survives production — not slide decks.
Built for scale
Years designing high-throughput, low-latency systems in the financial market, where downtime and data loss aren't options.
Pragmatic, not dogmatic
The right tool for the constraint at hand. No rewrites for their own sake — value shipped incrementally.
Team enablement
I leave your team stronger: documented decisions, reviews and mentoring so the architecture outlives the engagement.
Track record
Built where reliability is non-negotiable
Over a decade in software, much of it in the financial market — payments, integrations and critical, high-volume systems.

Throughput & criticality
I've spent years designing and operating payment APIs, integrations and microservices where a single failure has real financial impact. That bar — for resilience, observability and correctness — is what I bring to every engagement.
