Review an architecture

A second pair of eyes on a system before it's expensive to change: where the trust boundaries actually sit, which paths to data bypass the ones you meant, what scales and what only looks like it does.

What’s included

• —System, component and data-flow walkthrough
• —Trust boundaries and authorisation paths mapped against the real code
• —Bottlenecks identified with the reasoning, not just a verdict
• —Written findings you can hand to the team

How it runs

1. 01

   A call, then a written shape

   Half an hour on what you're building and what's in the way. You get back a written scope — what I'd build, in what order, and what I'd deliberately leave out.

2. 02

   Ship the smallest true thing

   A live slice teaches more than another month of planning. The first release is small, real and in production, and the plan adjusts around what it tells us.

3. 03

   Cadence you can see

   Regular releases against the roadmap, and the roadmap revisited as we go rather than once at the start. Nothing about progress should be a surprise.

4. 04

   Handover that holds

   The team ends up on foundations they can keep building on — documented, reviewed, and with the reasoning behind each decision written down.

Other ways I work

• Architect and build a platformTaking something from an idea and a deadline to a running system — the serverless backend, the frontends against it, and the release cadence that keeps it moving.
• Put AI features into productionThe gap between a working prompt and a feature you can put in front of regulated users — routing, guardrails, audit trails, and a cost you can predict.
• Own a product surface end to endLonger-running work where I hold the architecture, the release cadence and the roadmap conversation — not a set of tickets, a system.
