Consultancies

Cloud-native delivery & Kubernetes at scale

Containerised services and APIs on public cloud with strong security baselines and clear boundaries—plus roadmaps from clustered or PaaS-style platforms to Kubernetes and portable multi-cloud patterns without unnecessary lock-in.

KubernetesAPIsAWS / Azure

Enterprise identity & access programmes

Practical IdP integration, OAuth/OIDC, token flows and service-to-service auth—combined with IAM roadmaps for regulated buyers: standards-aligned login, SCIM provisioning, and choices that satisfy SOC 2 and audit without blocking delivery.

OAuth / OIDCSOC 2SCIM

Data and integration pipelines

Streaming and batch pipelines that connect legacy cores, partners, and digital channels—designed for change as domains and volumes grow.

EventsETL.NET / Node

White-label & partner portals

Configurable customer-facing experiences for regulated and multi-brand programmes—identity, tenancy, and delivery patterns that partners can adopt without one-off forks.

AWSCognitoReact

Platform engineering & internal knowledge

Centralised CI/CD, observability hooks, self-service infrastructure and internal portals—plus practical RAG on docs and code for grounded Q&A on architecture, runbooks and process where engineers already work.

CI/CDBackstageRAG

Legacy modernisation & bounded contexts

Strangling monoliths into domain-bounded services with event-driven boundaries, eventual consistency where it fits, and data ownership that matches the business.

DDDEventsMicroservices

Observability & platform economics

End-to-end telemetry, vendor rationalisation and SRE-friendly practices—paired with architecture and sourcing reviews that cut recurring spend on observability, identity estates and workloads without trading off safety.
