System Architecture & Technical Strategy

Fixed-Scope Engagement — 2-Week Audit + Written Recommendations

Architecture reviews, greenfield system design, and modernization roadmaps for teams that need an outside eye before committing to a direction. You get a written deliverable: a clear assessment of what you have, what's fragile, and a prioritized path forward — with trade-offs explained, not glossed over.

Useful before a major platform build, when scaling is becoming painful, or when you've inherited a system and need to understand it before changing it.

Enterprise Platform Development

Project-Based or Retainer

Backend services, Azure integrations, and Dynamics 365 / Power Platform builds and customizations. This is the work of taking requirements that are vague on paper and making them real in production: designing data models, wiring up integrations, handling edge cases, and shipping something the business can rely on daily.

I've done this at scale inside Azure Government, on a platform serving hundreds of users at 99.9% uptime. Authentication runs on managed identities rather than stored credentials, and row-level Dataverse security keeps each team's data scoped to exactly the people who should see it. I'm comfortable with the full lifecycle, not just the interesting parts.

AI Integration Architecture

Project-Based

Production AI integrations using LLM APIs (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, and others), including multi-provider abstraction layers, per-subsystem rate limiting, caching, fallback chains, and RAG patterns. Not chatbot wrappers — production-grade AI features built to stay up under real load, without vendor lock-in.

If you need AI features that are observable, resilient, and hot-swappable across model providers without changing application code, this is the engagement. The architecture pattern is the same whether you're building for a game, an enterprise app, or a government system.

CI/CD & DevOps Modernization

Project-Based

Pipeline design, build automation, and deployment modernization using Azure DevOps. I've cut deployment time by 94% — from 4 hours to 15 minutes — on a mission-critical government system, eliminating manual steps that were a source of human error and release anxiety.

If your team dreads deploys, ships less often than it should, or is running manual steps that should be automated, this is a high-leverage engagement with measurable results.

Business Websites & Custom Tools

Fixed Price · Typically 2-4 Weeks

The same engineering discipline, applied to smaller systems: business sites, internal tools, console apps, and automation scripts. These are fixed-price engagements, not hourly — the scope and the cost are known before the work starts, and they stay known.

Everything is built to be fast, accessible, and actually findable in search, which is where most small-business sites quietly fail. Optional ongoing maintenance keeps it patched and current after launch so it doesn't rot.

Business sites start at $4,500. Custom internal tools start at $6,000. Maintenance retainers from $200/month.
