Selected work, told honestly

01 Challenge

A monolithic payments stack could not support new scheme requirements, and each release required an eight-hour maintenance window.

02 Approach

We ran a four-week architecture assessment, mapped domain boundaries, and agreed a phased strangler-pattern migration with the bank's risk and compliance functions.

03 Solution

Domain services were extracted onto a containerised cloud platform with automated pipelines, contract testing and full transaction observability.

04 Outcome

Release windows removed entirely, deployment frequency moved from quarterly to weekly, and scheme change requests are now delivered in weeks.

01 Challenge

Two ageing data centres were nearing end of contract with no migration plan and limited internal cloud capability.

02 Approach

We built a migration factory: application discovery, disposition per workload, and a repeatable landing-zone pattern with security controls agreed up front.

03 Solution

180 workloads were migrated using infrastructure as code, with FinOps guardrails, automated backup and an internal enablement programme for the platform team.

04 Outcome

Both data centres exited on schedule, run costs fell materially, and the client now provisions new environments without external support.

01 Challenge

Enterprise prospects were stalling deals over security questionnaires the company could not credibly answer.

02 Approach

A prioritised assessment against recognised control frameworks produced a 90-day remediation backlog ranked by exploitability and commercial impact.

03 Solution

Identity hardening, secrets management, dependency scanning in CI, network segmentation and a documented control set with evidence.

04 Outcome

Critical findings closed, security review time in sales cycles cut sharply, and two enterprise contracts unblocked.
