About Me
Principal Architect & Technology Consultant with over 25 years of experience modernising enterprise platforms for global organisations including Caesars Entertainment, Vodafone UK and Electronic Arts. I specialise in cloud-aligned architectures, microfrontends, React Native platforms, event-driven systems and large-scale monorepo governance.
I combine deep technical expertise with a consulting mindset — helping organisations modernise safely, scale efficiently and deliver consistent, future-proof digital platforms.
Technical Overview
I define and implement architecture strategy, technical standards, CI/CD automation, conformance frameworks and engineering governance that improve reliability and accelerate delivery. My background spans application, cloud and platform architecture with strong hands-on skills in modern engineering practices.
I specialise in cloud-aligned architectures, designing systems that leverage modern cloud patterns including serverless, containerisation, and infrastructure-as-code. I've architected large-scale React Native platforms with unified web and mobile codebases, implemented ESM-based microfrontend architectures, and built event-driven systems that scale across distributed teams.
My approach to monorepo governance includes establishing conformance tooling, automated testing pipelines (Playwright, Cucumber, Appium), and GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows that ensure consistency across multiple teams and codebases. I've led major tooling transitions including Webpack to Vite migrations and established component library standards adopted across entire organisations.
Beyond pure architecture, I provide hands-on technical leadership — mentoring teams through complex migrations, establishing engineering best practices, and ensuring architectural decisions align with business objectives. I've worked across cybersecurity systems, e-commerce platforms, and entertainment applications, bringing a pragmatic, delivery-focused approach to every engagement.
