How I can help

I've spent the past 30 years designing, building and managing highly available, resilient, secure and scalable enterprise workloads running on on-premise, cloud and containerised platforms of all kinds.

I have a unique combination of experience, having held junior and senior positions in every area in IT and possessing a deep hands-on technical knowledge of numerous products. I have successfully delivered dozens of enterprise projects, from small in-house clusters to global containerised hybrid cloud platforms.

Examples of work I've done for past clients:

  • Design and delivery of a multi-region, multi-environment, HA platform based on Azure, Docker, Confluent Kafka and Mongo
  • Productionalising Kafka, Redis, Elasticsearch and Solr-based applications
  • Implementing multi-level Azure cloud redundancy for data-driven applications
  • Tracking down performance bottlenecks in Kafka, Elasticsearch, Redis, Storm and Spark
  • Stabilisation of complex Java-based containerised applications
  • Single-pane-of glass dashboards for global infrastructure monitoring
  • Azure cloud architecture for HA production workloads
  • Data architecture design for Solr, Mongo and Elasticsearch
  • Greenfield implementation of a custom, hybrid-cloud, Kubernetes-based PaaS

Here are a few of the technologies I work with on a regular basis:

  • Cloud providers: Azure, AWS
  • CI/CD: Terraform, Cloud Formation, Jenkins, GitLab, Helm, GoCD, ArgoCD
  • ITOA: Splunk, DataDog, Catchpoint, Fluentd, Kowl, Prometheus, Grafana, New Relic
  • Microservices: Docker, OpenShift, LXC, Kubernetes
  • Data processing: Kafka (open source and Confluent), Storm, Spark
  • Databases: PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL, SQL Server
  • NoSQL: Mongo, Elasticsearch, Solr, Redis
  • Big Data: Hadoop, Hive, HBase, MapReduce
  • Coding: Java, Python, Bash, C
