Architecture Advisory & Technical Leadership
For teams that need strategic direction, technical mentorship, or an experienced perspective on complex architectural decisions.
- Technical Debt Assessment & Strategy: Identifying the bottlenecks, brittle components, and "quick fixes" that are slowing down your team. I provide a clear roadmap to pay down debt, simplify architecture, and regain development velocity.
- Platform Audits: Reviewing existing data and cloud architectures to identify performance issues, reduce infrastructure costs (e.g., BigQuery optimization), and ensure security best practices are being met.
- Fractional Architecture: Providing expert guidance on stack selection, system design, and platform strategy without the need for a full-time hire.
- Cloud vs. Open Source Strategy: Evaluating the trade-offs between managed cloud services (e.g., BigQuery, Vertex AI) and self-hosted open-source stacks (e.g., Apache Iceberg, Spark, Kubernetes). Providing objective analysis on Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), vendor lock-in, and operational overhead to help you choose the right path.
- Technical Mentorship: Supporting internal engineering teams by establishing best practices, standardizing tooling, and improving code quality.
