Software Architecture,
Without the Guesswork
17+ years architecting distributed systems across global teams at Mastercard and beyond. I help companies fix architectural debt, design for scale, and make confident technical decisions — without the overhead of a full-time hire.
What I do
How I can help
Architecture Review
Deep audit of your existing system — identifying risks, bottlenecks, and architectural debt. You get a clear written report with prioritized, actionable recommendations.
Architecture Design
From greenfield to migration, I define the target architecture, document decision records (ADRs), and deliver a roadmap your engineering team can execute against.
Second Architect
No architect on staff, or only one? I embed as an advisory partner — reviewing designs, raising the bar in code review, and ensuring architectural coherence across your teams.
Technical Leadership
Mentoring senior engineers, facilitating architecture guilds, aligning technical strategy with business goals. Leadership when you need it, without the internal politics.
