If your business runs on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, there's a good chance you're paying for licences nobody uses, former staff can still log in, and some of your email quietly lands in spam. Most owners don't find out until something breaks. I find and fix those things before they cost you. I've spent 15+ years running IT for companies, from fixing networks hands-on to leading IT operations, and I'm Top Rated here with a 100% job success score. Things clients hire me for: โœ” "We need to move our email." Migrations between Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Zoho and others, with zero lost mail. โœ” "Our emails go to spam." SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up properly so your mail actually gets delivered. โœ” "Someone left the company. Is our stuff safe?" Locking down accounts and access the right way. โœ” "We're paying for software nobody uses." Licence and subscription cleanup. โœ” "Our website or server has a problem." WordPress and AWS fixes, done calmly. โœ” "We do this by hand every week." Automating repetitive work with AI workflows and CRM tools. โœ” "Nobody actually manages our IT." I can be that person, part-time, for a flat monthly fee. How I work: I explain everything in plain English, put it in writing, and never leave you with a black box. I'm in GMT+2, which overlaps UK and EU mornings as well as US East afternoons, and I'm happy to work async. No meetings unless you want them. Not sure where to start? My fixed-price Security & License Audit (in my project catalog below) checks your whole setup and gives you a written report of what's wrong, what it's costing you, and how to fix it, whether you fix it with me or not.

I am a systems architect and executive advisor with over 40 years of experience delivering production systems across financial services, telecommunications, environmental technology, and enterprise software. I work with organisations that need AI to function reliably in the real world โ€” under regulatory constraint, at operational scale, and under genuine scrutiny. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ HOW I ENGAGE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Clients typically engage me in one of two ways. For well-defined software delivery, I work as a Full Stack Engineer โ€” building backend services, APIs, data models, and web applications with clear scope, predictable timelines, and a focus on long-term maintainability. For AI-enabled or data-sensitive systems, I work in an architectural and advisory role โ€” guiding AI integration, model and vendor selection, data exposure decisions, cost controls, governance design, and production behaviour. This work prioritises risk management and operational reliability over feature delivery speed. If your project involves execution against known requirements, the Full Stack Development profile is the right fit. If it involves AI decisions with cost, security, or operational consequences, start here. If you are unsure which applies, that uncertainty is usually a signal to begin with an architectural conversation. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ WHAT I BRING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Financial services has been a continuous thread across my career. I spent eight years at TD Bank, rising to Chief Systems Architect of TD Waterhouse, delivering fixed income trading platforms, brokerage account management systems, and the technology integration following a major acquisition. I subsequently designed the R-Desktop and R-Broker platform at RPM Technologies, serving Canadian banks, wealth managers, and mutual fund companies. I currently support a South African consultancy serving major regional financial institutions. Regulated environments, mission-critical systems, low tolerance for ambiguity. At SchlumbergerSema and Atos Origin I led global programmes spanning SMS and BlackBerry messaging platforms, secure mobile communications for the US Secretary of Commerce, and the deployment of Hutchison's 3 Mobile product and security services infrastructure across 22 countries. Two processes I designed during this period were awarded United States patents. I also launched Atos' initial RFID programme before leaving the organisation. I currently lead Global IT and DevOps at BlueGreen Water Technologies, overseeing cloud infrastructure and AI-enabled systems supporting environmental intelligence at global scale โ€” while maintaining an advisory practice for organisations deploying AI into production environments. I am a member of the OASIS Data Provenance Standards Technical Committee, where I contribute to vocabulary and standards for AI data provenance, lineage, and trust. This positions my advisory work within the emerging governance framework that production AI systems will need to operate under. My primary research programme, VashOS, is building the OS primitives for structurally trustworthy AI cognition โ€” where intelligence runs as a governed service rather than an architectural primitive. The core thesis applies directly to enterprise AI: probabilistic models require deterministic control layers, enforced structurally rather than encoded in instructions. I write on AI systems architecture, governance, and deterministic orchestration at KAIRI on Medium, with a focus on the gap between AI capability and AI accountability. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ CLIENTS ENGAGE ME WHEN โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ยท AI must move beyond proof-of-concept into production ยท Architecture must survive operational and regulatory realities ยท Cloud and AI spend must align with measurable business value ยท Legacy systems must coexist with modern AI capabilities ยท Leadership needs technical clarity without noise ยท A system has failed and the recovery path must be sound โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I advise at the executive level and remain hands-on in code. Staying technical is how I test assumptions and separate durable technology from hype. Good architecture is cheaper than recovery. Governance is durability. If you are responsible for outcomes, not demos, we should speak. Key differences from the LinkedIn version: the section dividers give it visual structure that works well on Upwork where clients scan quickly. The engagement model is more explicit โ€” the two-profile logic is preserved and expanded. Added "a system has failed and the recovery path must be sound" to the engagement list, which is a real Upwork signal. The VashOS description includes the direct enterprise application of the thesis, which LinkedIn doesn't need but Upwork clients benefit from.
