Staff Engineer | AI-focused Product Architect | DevOps Leader | Fractional CTO
I operate at the intersection of product engineering, SaaS architecture, platform/DevOps execution, and pragmatic AI adoption. I’ve spent 18+ years building and running production systems—now as a Founder & Product Architect at BuzzNeuron, and previously in senior roles across enterprise teams.
I am comfortable setting technical direction with founders and stakeholders, and also going deep into systems: boundaries, data flows, reliability, cost drivers, and the code that ships. My goal is simple: reduce delivery risk and make engineering decisions that improve real business outcomes.
Clear senior-level engagements for founders, product leaders, and engineering teams who want strong architecture, reliable delivery, and measurable outcomes.
Architect and evolve multi-tenant SaaS platforms
Define boundaries, data flow, and scalability patterns (modular monolith or microservices) so the product can grow without brittle coupling.
Stabilise, modernise, or rescue production systems
Reduce incident frequency, improve performance, and de-risk migrations with a focused plan across code, infrastructure, and operations.
Build platform/DevOps foundations that unblock delivery
Practical CI/CD, containerised deployments, environment strategy, and operational runbooks that make releases repeatable and safe.
Turn business goals into an executable technology roadmap
Translate strategy into architecture decisions, milestones, and a delivery plan your team can execute—without accidental complexity.
Design cost-aware cloud systems (without sacrificing reliability)
Find the real cost drivers, right-size architecture choices, and introduce sensible async/caching/observability to control spend as usage grows.
Introduce AI capabilities safely and pragmatically
Add AI where it creates measurable value (workflows, insights, automation) with clear constraints, evaluation, and rollout guardrails.
Clear engagement packages where I take full ownership—designed for founders, product leaders, and teams that want strong architecture, reliable delivery, and measurable outcomes.
Practical architecture help for systems already running in production.
A focused sprint to make releases calmer and production more predictable—without overhauling everything.
Hands-on building for SaaS products: ship features, improve performance, and keep the codebase maintainable.
Add AI and data-driven capabilities where they make sense—kept practical, testable, and safe to run in production.
Practical improvements to how you build, deploy, and operate your product—focused on repeatability and stability.
Depending on what you need, I can plug in as a senior individual contributor, a hands-on architect, or a lightweight engineering leader. In practice, engagements often span more than one of these at the same time.

Share your goals and current challenges. I will respond with a practical engagement path.
