How I Work
Architecture & Execution
Unclear requirements through to production systems. Security and governance designed in, not bolted on.
Requirements to Executable Architecture
Turn unclear requirements into concrete delivery plans before any code is written.
Cloud and AI System Design
Cloud and AI systems designed for the platform they run on, not lifted onto it.
Production Delivery with Safety Built In
Failures are designed for, not hoped against. Evaluation, monitoring, and rollout control from day one.
Reliability and Delivery Operations
Ownership past launch: CI/CD, observability, and a rollback plan that exists before it's needed.

How I Work
Architecture & Execution
Unclear requirements through to production systems. Security and governance designed in, not bolted on.
Requirements to Executable Architecture
Turn unclear requirements into concrete delivery plans before any code is written.
- ✓Define security boundaries, SLAs, and compliance constraints early.
- ✓Break enterprise use cases into API-first and event-driven architectures.
- ✓Align stakeholders across business, engineering, and governance.
- ✓Produce deployable designs that teams can build against directly.
Cloud and AI System Design
Cloud and AI systems designed for the platform they run on, not lifted onto it.
- ✓Azure App Service, Functions, AKS, API Management, and Entra ID.
- ✓LLM/RAG architectures with fine-tuning workflows and Azure OpenAI integration.
- ✓Landing zones, network isolation, and secure data-flow patterns.
- ✓Extend to AWS and GCP where workloads or client constraints require it.
Production Delivery with Safety Built In
Failures are designed for, not hoped against. Evaluation, monitoring, and rollout control from day one.
- ✓Prompt and retrieval design grounded on trusted enterprise data.
- ✓Fine-tuning and adapter workflows (LoRA) for cost-aware specialisation.
- ✓Evaluation, monitoring, and fallback safeguards in the runtime path.
- ✓Staged deployment, canary releases, and pre-prod readiness checks.
Reliability and Delivery Operations
Ownership past launch: CI/CD, observability, and a rollback plan that exists before it's needed.
- ✓GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps pipelines.
- ✓Terraform IaC with environment promotion strategy.
- ✓Observability via Azure Monitor, structured logging, and alerts.
- ✓Quality gates, rollback strategy, and incident readiness.

Applied ResearchAction-Trace Accountability
A Governance Framework for Auditing Tool-Using AI Agents
Proposes Action-Trace Accountability (ATA), a conceptual and design-oriented governance framework for auditing tool-using AI agents in institutional settings. Treats the action trace as the core governance artefact, a structured record linking a delegated goal, permissions, data access, tool calls, policy gates, human checkpoints, outcomes, and accountable owners. Extends classical accountability theory to agentic AI via principal-agent theory, with three stylised institutional scenarios (public-service eligibility, healthcare scheduling, enterprise procurement) and a requirements-based evaluation protocol.
