Architecture, cloud, and performance reviews
Independent assessment of codebases, infrastructure, and platforms, with recommendations you can sequence, not a document that sits on a shelf.
Reviews cover how systems behave under load, what they cost to run, and whether the design will still hold after the next step-change in traffic or product scope. I stay close to production: incidents, observability, and the delivery path that makes a change safe to ship.
What you get
- Performance, scalability, and reliability review
- Cloud infrastructure redesign and cost optimisation across AWS, Azure, and multi-cloud estates
- Security and regulatory review where the business requires it
- Observability, CI/CD, and release safety so recommendations can actually land
- Optional follow-on implementation support for the highest-priority changes
Evidence from delivery
For a global data and research organisation, a multi-cloud architecture review, directing external architects and implementation choices, reduced a substantial hosting bill by around two thirds.
Across marketplace and SaaS estates I have led target architectures on AWS and Azure, monolith decomposition, shared data platforms, and production reliability work. That includes standing up a search and catalogue platform on a legacy stack and taking it live without incident.
The deliverable is a prioritised set of changes with cost, risk, and sequencing, plus enough context for engineering leadership to own the follow-through.
