About

I work where strategy meets
architecture and delivery.

My work sits at the intersection of enterprise strategy and architecture — modernising complex technology estates, navigating major technology choices and harnessing AI responsibly while balancing resilience, regulation, cost and long-term optionality.

How I think

Clarity before certainty.

I am most useful when the problem crosses organisational and technology boundaries — where there is no perfect answer, the consequences matter, and a decision still has to be made.

I value evidence, reversible decisions, practical experimentation and architecture that survives contact with delivery. I am less interested in prescribing a perfect future than in helping organisations preserve the ability to adapt as the future changes.

Current themes

What I’m exploring now.

The themes below increasingly overlap. That intersection — not any single technology — is where I think the most interesting enterprise architecture questions are emerging.

01

AI-native enterprise architecture

How architecture changes when models and agents become participants in delivery and operations.

02

Data, events & interoperability

Creating durable enterprise foundations that support customer journeys, AI and multiple channels without unnecessary coupling.

03

Platform optionality

Capturing SaaS speed while retaining control of strategic data, intelligence, integration and future choices.

Currently reading

What is shaping
my thinking now.

A small, changing selection of ideas I am reading — not as endorsements, but as useful provocations.

01

Laws of Software Engineering

Dr Milan Milanović

A compact vocabulary for the forces that shape software systems, teams and the decisions around them.

02

AI Demystified

Antonio Weiss

A pragmatic bridge between AI’s technical possibility and the choices leaders need to make at work.

03

Orchestrating Experiences

Chris Risdon & Patrick Quattlebaum

Exploring how fragmented organisations can align people, channels and systems around coherent experiences.

Speaking & conversations

Ideas are better
when spoken aloud.

I enjoy speaking about enterprise architecture, AI, digital transformation and the choices organisations face when technology moves faster than governance.

I’ve spoken at architecture community meetups and internal forums, and I’m always interested in thoughtful industry conversations, panels and conference sessions where I can contribute something useful.
