What we do Three pillars, one architect
AI workflow sketch
01

AI Integration

Practical AI capabilities that improve workflows without introducing unnecessary complexity. Azure OpenAI with Semantic Kernel orchestration, retrieval-augmented generation on Azure AI Search, and deterministic pipelines built on Durable Functions. Selected for business impact, not buzzwords.

Azure Expertise

Cloud solutions that balance scalability, performance, security, and cost. App Services, Entra ID integration, serverless computing, and DevOps automation, each designed with operational governance in mind so the foundation evolves with the organization while minimizing long-term overhead.

From MVP to Production

Your prototype proved the idea. Now it needs to survive real customers.

Many teams arrive with a working MVP, often built fast, sometimes AI-generated, that wins its first users and then hits a wall: security gaps, fragile deployments, unpredictable cloud costs, no monitoring, no path to compliance. I take systems across that wall, hardening them into production-grade platforms on Azure in prioritized stages, so the product keeps shipping while it hardens.

stage 01

Production Readiness Review

The entry point, fixed in scope and price: prioritized findings across security, reliability, cost, and compliance, with a staged remediation plan you can act on with or without me.

stage 02

Hands-on hardening sprints

I do the work, not just the report. Findings are cleared in prioritized stages so the product keeps shipping while the platform hardens underneath it.

stage 03

Fractional architecture oversight

Optional after go-live: recurring days per month keeping architecture decisions, Azure governance, and cost discipline on track as the product grows.
