Architecture & Work

How I reason through hard architecture problems.

Each entry is labelled for what it is. The goal is to show the decisions, trade-offs and validation behind a design — the parts an architecture interview should probe.

Types of work on this page

  • Delivered case study

    Work that shipped, described only with facts I can verify and share. None are published yet; client work stays confidential unless approval exists.

  • Reference architecture

    A reusable approach to a recurring class of problem — the decisions, structure and failure modes I would design around.

  • Technical exploration

    A design exercise that reasons through scale or a new capability. Numbers are stated assumptions, not results.

Architecture entries

Reference architecture

Modernizing a large .NET portfolio without losing control

A reference architecture for moving hundreds of .NET Framework applications forward: evidence-based assessment, per-application paths, dependency-aware waves, and release gates you can defend.

Reference architecture

An evidence-first AI system for software modernization

A reference architecture for using LLMs to analyze legacy code without trusting them blindly: deterministic facts first, targeted model interpretation, independent validation, policy-based acceptance and a full audit trail.

Have a difficult architecture problem? Let's talk.

I'm interested in technical architecture challenges where the decisions matter and the engineering has to hold up in production.
