A product in two weeks. Nineteen years to know what to build, how, and why.


Nineteen years of architecture across .NET, React, AWS and Azure — and an AI practice built on top of it. Once the requirements are settled I build with agents rather than around them, which is what turns a quarter of work into a fortnight. Deutschly, live on both app stores, is 11,084 dictionary entries and 873 lessons of evidence.


02/Capability

What I am actually useful for.

  • A

    Architecture

    Distributed systems from the first diagram to the last deployment. I stay through delivery, because the parts of a design that fail are the parts nobody had to build — and because deciding well is the half that cannot be accelerated.

    • Event-driven and service architecture
    • Legacy replacement and migration
    • Latency, throughput, and failure design
    • Architecture review and technical due diligence
  • B

    Build

    I write the code I specify. Mostly .NET and TypeScript, and enough of the surrounding stack to be useful in a code review rather than only in a meeting.

    • .NET / .NET Core, C#
    • React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js
    • Java and Spring Boot
    • Power Platform
  • C

    Cloud

    Multi-cloud in the real sense — AWS and Azure in production, chosen per workload and per client constraint rather than per preference.

    • AWS — Connect, Lex, Lambda, API Gateway, ECS
    • Azure — App Service, Functions, Service Bus
    • Serverless and managed-first operating models
    • Cost and capacity as design inputs
  • D

    AI-native delivery

    Agents do the building; I do the deciding. That is what compresses a quarter into a fortnight — and the nineteen years is what keeps the result architecture rather than output.

    • Settled requirements to shipped product in weeks
    • Agent design, orchestration and tool surfaces
    • Retrieval and context assembly
    • Evaluation harnesses and regression sets
    • Organisation-wide rollout and enablement

Speaking and mentoring

DevTalks and Architect Summits. Mentor in AP Lab, currently six mentees. Co-author of an IBM Redbook.


03/Contact

Once the requirements are settled, the build is the fast part.

Architecture reviews, a second opinion before a build starts, or the whole thing from first diagram through delivery — in weeks rather than quarters. I work with teams in Germany and remotely across Europe and the US.
