Consulting
Selective architecture advisory for decisions that shape delivery, reliability, and cost.
This work stays focused and outcome-oriented: review the architecture, find the failure paths, clarify the tradeoffs, and reduce the risk of building the wrong thing with too much confidence.
Architecture Review Sprint
A focused review of architecture quality, system boundaries, integration risk, rollback paths, observability, and delivery assumptions.
Typical output
Decision memo, risk map, recommended sequencing, owner/action list.
Best-fit situation
A program is moving, but key architecture choices still feel implicit or politically unresolved.
AI Production Readiness Review
A review of retrieval design, data boundaries, latency, governance, fallback behavior, support ownership, and evaluation coverage.
Typical output
Readiness assessment, failure-path review, architecture gaps, launch-risk recommendations.
Best-fit situation
A team has a plausible AI workflow but still needs discipline around boundaries, operations, and supportability.
Integration Modernization Advisory
A review of API boundaries, system-of-record ownership, sync/async design, retry rules, event contracts, and reconciliation paths.
Typical output
Target-state options, integration decision record, delivery-risk reduction plan.
Best-fit situation
Integration work is slowing delivery because ownership, contracts, or failure behavior were never forced into the same decision frame.
Executive Technical Decision Support
Independent input when a technical decision has long-term consequences for cost, reliability, delivery speed, or operating risk.
Typical output
Executive-facing tradeoff memo and recommendation.
Best-fit situation
Leadership needs an architecture-literate view before locking in a path that will be expensive to reverse later.
