Clarity for complex digital decisions

Areas of expertise

Cloud architecture

Landing zones, multi-account governance, cost optimisation. Designs that balance resilience with operational simplicity.

Platform modernisation

Incremental migration from on-prem and monoliths to containerised workloads without disrupting business-critical flows.

Technical leadership

Interim CTO support, engineering hiring frameworks, and architecture review boards for growing product teams.

A measured approach

Every engagement starts with listening. I spend the first week mapping constraints — regulatory, organisational, and technical — before proposing a roadmap. No vendor pitches, no oversized transformation programmes.

Typical engagements run 8–16 weeks: assessment, target architecture, implementation guidance, and handover documentation your team can own.

  1. Discover Stakeholder interviews, system inventory, risk register.
  2. Design Reference architectures, decision records, cost models.
  3. Deliver Pilot implementations, runbooks, knowledge transfer.

Selected writing

Occasional notes on infrastructure and engineering culture.

Why Swiss SMEs underestimate cloud egress costs

Practical patterns for data locality without over-engineering.

Platform teams in companies under 200 people

When internal developer platforms pay off — and when they don't.

Compliance as a design constraint, not an afterthought

Building audit trails into CI/CD from day one.
