Software development, Dynamics 365, consulting and product development. Practical help from someone who has been in the trenches.
17+ years building web applications, APIs, integrations and custom software using primarily Microsoft technologies. I have designed and built SaaS platforms handling thousands of daily users, integration architectures processing 9,000+ jobs per day, and everything from government systems to telecoms infrastructure.
I am a hands on developer who also understands architecture, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD and how to build things that actually scale. I have built teams, set up nearshore offices and managed the full lifecycle from initial concept through to production support.
This is my bread and butter. I have been a Dynamics 365 Technical Architect at Wessex Water (YTL Group), a Solution Architect at Gridserve, and delivered D365 implementations across utilities, financial services, telecoms, housing associations, government and not for profits.
I have rescued projects that went sideways, migrated legacy CRM systems to D365 in the cloud, designed Dual Write integrations with F&O, and built plugin architectures handling complex business logic. Whether you are starting fresh or trying to fix an implementation that is not delivering, I know exactly what good looks like.
I have been offered permanent Chief Software Architect and Head of Software Development roles at multiple organisations. I turned them down because I prefer variety, but the point is: I operate at that level.
If your business needs senior technical leadership without the full time salary, I can step in as a fractional CTO or interim tech lead. I have built and managed development teams, set up CI/CD pipelines, made build or buy decisions, assisted with due diligence for company sales, helped introduce ISO27001 and reported directly to CIOs and board members.
I am particularly useful if you are a non technical founder who needs someone to translate between the business and the tech. I speak both languages because I have lived both worlds.
Talk About ThisWhich tools, platforms and approaches will actually move your business forward. I have architected systems for telecoms, utilities and government. I know what scales.
Recruiting developers, setting up processes, running standups, code reviews and mentoring. I have built teams from scratch and transitioned third party work in house.
Technical due diligence for acquisitions, ISO27001 implementation, strategic IT direction. I have done this at board level for multiple organisations.
I bring something that most advisors do not: I can actually read the code, understand the architecture and ask the right questions about your technology roadmap.
If you are a SaaS company, a product business or a startup with a technology component, having someone who understands both the boardroom and the build process is genuinely valuable. I can help with product direction, technical governance, due diligence, growth strategy and keeping your tech team honest.
I am particularly interested in prop tech, HR tech and any product company where technology is the core of the business. If you need a technical founder's perspective, we should talk.
