Most recent role

Senior Technical Architect

MRM

March 2014 – January 2026

Twelve years leading technical delivery for enterprise clients, from first discovery call to live operation. Joined as Senior Developer and was promoted through Associate Technical Architect and Technical Architect to Senior Technical Architect. High-traffic systems, complex integrations, and teams depending on clear technical direction.

Stayed hands-on throughout. Wrote production code and reviewed pull requests from first sprint to go-live.

  • Responsible for technical delivery end-to-end: discovery, architecture, specification, build, code review, and ongoing support.
  • Wrote technical specs that shaped how front-end, UX, and platform teams approached each project, bridging business requirements and engineering decisions.
  • Designed and built .NET systems spanning web applications, APIs, background services, scheduled jobs, and third-party integration layers.
  • Worked across product, BA, UX, front-end, and platform engineering teams. Kept technical decisions pragmatic with trade-offs surfaced at each decision point.
  • Worked across greenfield builds and existing codebases equally. Legacy stabilisation and incremental modernisation were as much a part of the role as building from scratch.

A broad role that covered the full delivery lifecycle across a wide variety of systems and clients.

Selected delivery

A few of the more substantial delivery challenges from recent years.

  • SABIC

    Enterprise distributed platform covering a public CMS, product catalogue, and internal APIs. Senior contributor from build through live operation and ongoing platform evolution.

  • ARAMCO

    Backend services and APIs wiring CRM data across multiple Salesforce platforms. The technical challenge was the integration surface: secure data exchange, reliability under load, and workflows complex enough to need careful design.

  • Mercer

    Consultant-facing platform on ASP.NET Core: admin interfaces, CSV ingestion over SFTP with PGP encryption, Azure Function Apps for background processing, and a Web API feeding a React front end for dashboards and reporting.

Other selected clients include Microsoft, Dulux, Coca-Cola, Marston's, Direct Line, Vauxhall, Intel, and Tommee Tippee.
