Fractional Engineering Leadership & Cloud Architecture

When Growth Breaks Your Architecture, We Fix It — Before It Slows the Business

Senior technical leadership for teams scaling on Azure.

I help growth-stage and enterprise teams fix performance bottlenecks, rising cloud costs, and fragile integrations before they impact customers or revenue. With 14+ years of experience, I bring VP-level judgment with hands-on execution.

Built for Scale, Not Just Delivery

Architect Scale helps organizations navigate the point where growth exposes architectural cracks: slowing releases, rising cloud spend, brittle integrations, and increasing operational risk.

I currently lead application architecture and integration strategy for distributed teams across North America and Asia, combining deep cloud expertise with executive-level technical leadership.

I typically work with teams that already have traction but are feeling the strain of scale. If you're looking for execution-only development or short-term feature delivery, I'm probably not the right fit.
