Six things I am
actually good at.
Each of these is something I have shipped and then lived with in production, across 14 engagements at 7 organisations over fourteen years. The scope figures are typical, not quotes — real scope comes out of a conversation.
-
Commerce Architecture
Designing commerce platforms that survive their next replatform — domain model, integration boundaries, and a route off whatever you are on now.
Kohler · Boeing Distribution · Etisalat, Dubai -
Cloud-Native Migration
Taking a commerce monolith apart into services that deploy independently, without freezing the roadmap for two years.
Verizon & Rogers · Kohler -
Production Reliability
Finding what is actually breaking in production, then building the observability to see it coming next time.
Boeing Distribution · Kohler -
Search & Discovery
Faceting, refinement and relevance that match how people actually search a large catalogue.
Etisalat, Dubai · First Tactical -
Systems Integration
Connecting commerce to everything around it — PIM, OMS, pricing, payments — with contracts that hold under load.
Etisalat, Dubai · KLX Aerospace · Verizon & Rogers -
Engineering Leadership
Leading the team through the work: design review, estimation, mentoring, and a delivery pipeline people trust.
ALT Digital Technologies · Boeing Distribution
Common combinations
