Consulting

AI strategy, infrastructure and security. Under your control.

I consult for small, medium and large organisations on adopting AI while keeping the data, the stack and the decisions in-house. The same work covers the security of the code that comes out of it.

What happens next

  1. Write two paragraphs: what you are trying to do, and what is in the way.
  2. I reply within two working days — with a question, or a no.
  3. If it fits, we scope a first piece of work. If it does not, I will say so and point you elsewhere.

Areas of work

01

Strategic advisory

IT strategy, transformation strategy, AI automation strategy, and support for the development strategy already in motion.

02

Infrastructure and architecture

Hardware infrastructure planning and optimisation, cloud services, colocation strategy, and the design of AI hardware and software environments.

03

Cost optimisation

Hardware and software licensing: modelling what you actually use, then removing what you pay for and do not.

04

Security

Hardware-level security controls, protection of end-user devices, and secure code development.

05

Artificial intelligence

AI-first data architecture, organisational AI transformation, and AI application strategy — including sovereign deployment where the data cannot leave.

06

Competence and organisation

Competence planning, defining organisational culture, and support for professional interviews — so the team can run what gets built.

How I work

No vendor lock-in

Every recommendation is measured against your independence — from me and from any single vendor. Where a dependency is unavoidable, you will hear about it before you sign it.

Delivered personally

The work is done by me, not delegated to someone you never met. That is the point of hiring a practitioner.

You own what we build

Code, scripts, documents and strategy produced for you become yours, without territorial or time limits.
