Freelance Solution Architect & Engineer

Full-stack, cloud, and mobile — delivered by an independent engineer.

An independent solution architect and full-stack engineer with 20+ years of experience — delivering full-stack web and API development, mobile apps, cloud architecture and migration, generative AI development, and legacy system modernisation. Available for fixed-price builds, hourly engagements, or fractional technical leadership.

Sound familiar?

Common problems I get hired to solve.

Need senior help, not agency overhead?

You want an experienced architect and engineer directly on the work — not a project manager, not a junior handed the ticket, not a markup on every hour.

Stuck with a legacy system nobody wants to touch?

I design pragmatic, incremental modernisation paths — decomposing monoliths and untangling tech debt without a risky big-bang rewrite.

Need to ship without a full-time hire?

Fixed-price builds, hourly engagements, or a fractional technical lead — scoped to what the project actually needs, nothing more.

What I do

Core services. Clear scope.

Fixed-price projects, hourly engagements, or fractional leadership — scoped to what your project actually needs.

Generative AI Development

LLM integration, RAG, agentic tool-use systems, and custom MCP servers — production AI features, not just a demo.

Full-Stack Web & API Development

.NET Core, C#, React, Angular, and Entity Framework Core — backend, frontend, and everything in between, owned end to end.

Cloud Architecture & Migration

AWS and Azure architecture design, migration planning and execution, and IaC with Terraform or CDK. Cost and security reviewed.

Legacy Modernisation

Monolith-to-microservices decomposition using domain-driven design and CQRS — incremental migration, no big-bang rewrite.

Third-Party API Integration

OAuth2 authentication, secure token handling, and reliable integration with payment, marketing, and ad platform APIs.

Fractional Engineering Leadership

Team setup, agile process, code quality standards, mentoring, and a senior sounding board — without a full-time hire.

Why work with me

Real experience. Direct delivery.

20+ Years, Hands-On

Production software across fintech, adtech, and HR/payroll platforms — from global technology firms through to leading engineering at fast-moving businesses.

Led Distributed Teams

As a Technical Engineering Manager I've led a team of 7 onshore and offshore engineers — I know how to scope work that a distributed team can actually deliver.

Full-Stack Range

Backend, frontend, mobile, and cloud in one person — .NET/C#, React/Angular, Flutter, and AWS/Azure. Fewer handoffs, faster delivery.

Industry experience

Four industries. Twenty years.

Full background

Revamped payroll integrations with domain-driven design and led a legacy MVC-to-React/Redux migration.

AdTech & Marketing

Integrated Facebook Marketing and Google Ads APIs via OAuth2, decomposing a monolith into CQRS-based services.

FinTech & Asset Management

Leading distributed engineering teams building asset management software end to end.
