Ten directions across three tiers. All grounded in durable, maintainable software.
Independent audit of an existing system. Deliverable: a written report with prioritised risks and concrete refactor paths.
System design for new products: technology choices, naming conventions, build-pipeline scaffolding.
Node.js, Hapi.js, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Google Cloud, and a deliberately framework-free front end. Mid-to-long engagements only.
Primarily Google Cloud (Cloud Functions, GCS, Firebase, Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub). AWS familiarity (Aurora, DynamoDB) for migration scenarios.
Adopt AI coding agents without trading away maintainability. I structure codebases so agents work effectively, build the guardrails that keep their output reviewable, and keep a human hands-on at the keyboard - assisted coding, not vibe coding.
Hardware-software integration and sensor/IoT data pipelines, backed by a dual computer-science and mechanical-engineering foundation. Industrial monitoring, wireless sensor networks, digital signage.
Map-centric web apps and location search across Google, Bing, and Mapbox, with high-performance geo-clustering for large datasets. Built for proptech, logistics, and anything that lives on a map.
Diagnose and fix systems that have slowed to a crawl or stalled in delivery. Track record: search times cut by an order of magnitude, and a flagship product stuck for years shipped in weeks.
Code-quality audits; one-on-one or team mentoring; SDLC + Agile process coaching.
Recurring sessions for founders and technical leads who need senior input - without a full-time CTO hire.
