Hire me

Have something you need built? I take on websites, backend systems, data work and integrations — and I’m happy to talk a problem through before anything is quoted. I reply within two business days.

What I take on

  • Websites and web apps

    Marketing sites, product pages and small web apps — fast, statically hosted and easy to keep up to date. Like this one.

  • Systems architecture

    Distributed systems, event-driven design, multi-tenant SaaS and enterprise integration, built to stay correct under real load.

  • Data and integration

    Change-data pipelines, zero-downtime migrations, legacy bridges and API adapter layers — shipped with runbooks.

  • AI systems

    LLM tooling, agentic workflows and AI-assisted delivery, with clear architecture so the result stays dependable.

  • Reviews and guidance

    Architecture reviews, decision records, team enablement and technical leadership — leaving the team stronger.

Client work is described in general terms — the numbers are exact. Read the MongoDB migration case study for the long version of one.

  • Healthcare · 2024

    Patient-care CMS through the utilization ceiling · MongoDB ReplicaSet → Atlas Sharded Cluster

    Solo migration of a vendor-locked clinic CMS off a saturated single ReplicaSet onto a horizontally scalable Sharded Cluster. Profiled the live workload, picked the shard key off real query shapes, fixed a misconfigured Azure network path along the way, rehearsed the cutover twice — patient services never went offline.

  • Travel · 2023

    Booking path under the second barrier · sub-1s P99 across 300+ partner integrations

    Profilers, execution plans, and traces on a high-traffic booking flow. Query shapes rewritten, N+1s eliminated, caches placed where the data actually allowed it — P99 brought under one second without dropping a single integration.

  • Arsenal · 2026

    PingOps shipped to the App Store · uptime monitoring with cloud coverage

    Forged in-house and shipped solo: an iOS uptime monitor with public status pages and cloud-side checks. Design, backend, client, and store release — one operator, end to end.

  • Enterprise · 2021+

    Enterprise architecture for a 2M+ member platform

    Integration architecture, cloud stack selection, and an ADR library that outlived team rotations. Plus the training programme that levelled up every application engineer in the org.

  • Before the studio · 2010s

    Pro StarCraft player & team captain · Mineski

    Map awareness, build orders, APM under pressure, and post-game analysis as a discipline. The strategic instincts behind every system Arkynate ships were forged here first.
