How I work

.NET delivery across digital agencies and enterprise clients. Most recently over a decade at MRM as Senior Technical Architect, leading delivery, implementing systems, and staying close to the code throughout.

I've spent most of my career working in large multi-discipline teams: product owners, BAs, UX, front-end, DevOps, client stakeholders. I'm comfortable across the full range, and I can own a project from discovery to deployment while keeping everyone pointing in the same direction.

Lead role

Senior Technical Architect

MRM

March 2014 – January 2026

Eleven years leading technical delivery for enterprise clients, from first discovery call to live operation. High-traffic systems, complex integrations, and teams depending on clear technical direction.

  • 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.
  • Stayed hands-on throughout. Wrote production code and reviewed pull requests from first sprint to go-live.
  • 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. I'm comfortable working across all of it.

Selected delivery

Selected delivery examples

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.
