Modernise business-critical systems – and make them AI-ready
I modernise business-critical software systems that have grown over many years: better architecture, faster and more dependable delivery, ready for AI to be added in a controlled way.
“AI-ready” here means evolving architecture, interfaces, data and development processes to the point where AI capabilities can be added in a controlled and traceable way – right up to running models on your own infrastructure. What it does not mean is training your own models.
Customer value
Impact on three levels
Quality
Improving maintainability, testability and extensibility, paying down technical debt in a controlled way and lowering the risk in business-critical systems.
Future readiness
Bringing systems that have grown over years up to date, improving cloud and platform capability, and preparing systems for controlled AI integration.
Services
Where I most often help
Architecture Assessment
A structured review of architecture, code quality and the delivery process, with clear priorities for where to act.
Learn moreModernising software systems that have grown over years
Moving legacy and monolithic structures step by step into modular, maintainable architectures.
Learn moreAI-ready system modernisation
Preparing architecture, interfaces and data so that AI capabilities can later be integrated in a controlled way.

When working together makes sense
- Existing systems now take a great deal of effort to extend.
- Releases take too long, or go wrong too often.
- Technical debt is holding back new requirements and products.
- A cloud migration or platform modernisation is coming up.
- In-house architecture or automation expertise is missing, or needs building up.
- Systems need to be made ready for AI capabilities later on.
Selected experience
Anonymised project examples
since 2026 · In-house product
Data-driven prospecting CRM with agentic AI workflows
Software architect, product owner, full-stack developer
Design and incremental development of my own application for researching, assessing and managing sales activities. At its heart is an agentic human-in-the-loop workflow: a validated intake turns unstructured input into checked business data, and existing systems connect through custom MCP servers. A working example of how AI capabilities are integrated into an architecture in a controlled and traceable way.
2025–2026 · Public sector & critical infrastructure
Code quality and Clean Architecture for an ML application
Cloud and Software Architect
Introducing code quality and architecture standards and monitoring that they are followed, technical coaching on Clean Code and Clean Architecture, and the incremental redesign of an ML-based application. Architecture documentation to arc42, plus building and running the CI/CD pipelines on OpenShift, including automated dependency and vulnerability checks.
2023–2025 · Renewable energy
Evolving an IoT platform
Product Owner (SAFe)
Further development of an IoT framework for the communication modules in inverters – including extended update capability for the devices, and support for repowering existing installations over older communication protocols.
Industry experience in Manufacturing & mechanical engineering, Energy utilities & renewables, Public sector & critical infrastructure, Heating & building technology, IoT & connected products, Telecommunications, among others.
