Contract and consultancy work: technical leadership, cloud infrastructure on AWS, and getting existing systems into good shape.
I work as a fractional CTO and principal engineer. I help businesses make the big technical decisions, then build what they've decided on.
That might mean setting technical direction and architecture, leading a development team, or getting hands-on with the code. I've built full-stack platforms end to end, from the database and AWS infrastructure through to the interface people use every day.
React, TypeScript and Python, from database to interface.
ECS and Fargate, infrastructure as code and CI/CD pipelines.
LLMs, RAG and agents built into real products and workflows.
Generated PDFs, fillable forms and document-heavy systems.
A team that works well together will usually do more for a project than one more good developer.
Projects that struggle are rarely short of talent. More often the priorities are unclear, releases feel risky, or people are pulling in different directions. Adding developers seldom fixes that.
Often the most useful thing I can do is help a team get the basics right, so the good people already there can do their best work.
The team agrees what matters this week and why, so time and effort go into work that moves things forward.
Code review, automated testing and CI/CD pipelines, so shipping new work becomes routine rather than something to dread.
Shared standards, honest feedback and support, so the team gets stronger together and no one person is a bottleneck.
Picking the framework and scaffolding is where experience matters most. Get that structure right and everything built on it is easier.
