Software expertise beyond a single stack
I help organisations support, improve and build software, from inherited business-critical systems to new products and practical AI.
Deep experience in .NET, C#, SQL Server and Azure sits alongside work across web, mobile, cloud and open-source projects. The technology follows the problem, so bring the challenge even if your stack is different.
Dependable software today. Safer modernisation when it is needed.
Keep existing software running well, make focused improvements and modernise selectively when the evidence supports it.

How I can help
.NET Software Support & Maintenance
Keep inherited and business-critical C#, .NET Framework, SQL Server and Azure applications reliable, maintainable and useful.
Existing Software Takeover
Understand an inherited application, establish how it builds and deploys, identify risks and create a practical route to ongoing ownership.
Architecture & Technical Direction
Find the risks, dependencies and decisions making your platform harder to change.
Legacy .NET Modernisation
Assess ageing .NET platforms, protect critical behaviour and build a staged route towards modern .NET and Azure.
Practical AI Services
Prioritise valuable use cases and build governed AI capabilities that can work in production.
Fractional Technical Leadership
Bring senior technical direction into a period of growth, change or critical delivery.
Experience grounded in real systems
I currently lead engineering around a business-critical lending SaaS platform, working across multi-tenant systems, payment integrations, legacy applications and modern services.
