Software architecture

Planning a new system or deciding how to evolve an existing one? I help with architecture design and reviews, integration boundaries, and technical decisions. The outcome is a proposed solution and a roadmap for further development.

AI integration

Want to use AI with your systems and data? I help connect applications to AI, integrate MCP servers, and make company data available with appropriate access controls. The outcome is a working integration with documented data flows and permissions.

Process automation

Repetitive tasks take up your team’s time? I help select suitable processes, design and implement automation, and evaluate its benefits. The outcome is a solution with an operations and measurement plan.

Technology leadership

Your team needs support with technical decisions? I help with architecture, mentoring, code reviews, and development planning. The outcome is a set of technical priorities and a plan to deliver them.
