Background.
With over 13 years of experience as a software engineer, primarily as a consultant, I have worked on a diverse range of projects, within many different industries.
During this time a common theme has been present in these projects; crafting sustainable software. Software that is easy to use, easy to maintain, and can scale and adapt as a business grows or changes.
I apply my broad experience and knowledge of a wide range of languages, technologies and methods, to deliver purpose-fit software solutions that stand the test of time.

Observability
Enhancing observability to improve incident response processes and support technical decision making.
Automated quality assurance
Applying shift-left methods to catch issues early in the development process.
Zero trust
Leveraging a combination of techniques to create an in-depth, multi-faceted security posture.
Technical leadership.
A product is nothing without the people working on it.
Improving the teams that make the software is one of the most effective ways of achieving positive change.
I support development teams by creating awareness and teaching skills that will stay with them for the rest of their careers.

Audits.
Whether you’re worried if your current software is heading in the right direction, or if your technical debt is piling up and you don’t know where to start to reduce it, I provide audits that can offer answers.
During an audit I assess the organization’s current software engineering practices and identify areas for improvement, with a focus on building sustainable software. This means software built to last, with a clean code base, clear documentation, and well-defined processes.
The audit report provides a roadmap to future-proof your software and unlock its full potential. Book your free consultation today and get peace of mind about the state of your software.
