01 — Profile

Analysis, development and technical leadership for enterprise applications on Microsoft .NET, cloud and web.

I have been developing software for nearly thirty years, as a freelancer since 2000. I work as a software engineer and full-stack .NET developer: I take applications from analysis to release, or join teams that maintain and evolve enterprise systems. When I lead a group, I coordinate the technical work and mentor junior developers.

On projects where I hold technical responsibility, I define the architecture and oversee how it evolves; on products already under way, I work within the team's scope and processes. I use coding agents where the client allows it.

On this site I try to describe my skills and abilities as clearly as I can, including for readers without a technical background: enough to judge whether I may be right for your needs, without too much detail. For detailed information, please get in touch.

Soft skills count as much as hard skills, and I describe them in How I work. I prefer projects where both are assessed.

Full-stack, in any team setupFrom sole developer to member of a multi-team programme.

Current stacks onlyIn recent years I have chosen engagements on modern technologies, to learn them hands-on. I don't work on obsolete platforms.

Method

Specifications first

I gather requirements directly with stakeholders, technical and non-technical, before writing any code.

Inside your process

I adapt to your existing tools, methodologies and internal procedures instead of imposing new ones.

Verifiable code

Automated tests and domain modelling where the complexity justifies them.

Knowledge that stays

I coordinate and mentor junior developers, so the team stays self-sufficient after my engagement ends.

How I work in each role

Getting started: working together

Software development approach

I develop .NET and web applications with Angular or React. Clean Architecture, feature-based organisation, microservices and event-driven communication are choices to evaluate against the problem, the team and my role in the project.

My approach to software development

Architectural choices and responsibilities across projects

Cloud experience

I develop applications and integrations on Azure and AWS, adapting my role to how each project is organised.

I have worked both on platforms run by dedicated teams with restricted production access and on projects where I manage environments, release pipelines and monitoring directly. Services I have used include Azure Functions, Service Bus and Stream Analytics; on other projects, AWS and Terraform for infrastructure-as-code releases.

How I work on cloud projects

Coding agents

I use coding agents on projects where the client allows it, starting from written specifications: requirements, constraints and acceptance criteria.

I check changes against those criteria; analysis, architecture and review remain my responsibility. I can also train the individual developers in a team to use them methodically.

Artificial intelligence

An AI project in your business?

For those who run a small or medium-sized business: first find out whether the project holds up, then build it.

Under development and testing

I assess data, costs, risks and ongoing operation with you before choosing the technology; if the project is sustainable, I build it. I work on the individual project, not on general strategies.

I am developing and testing an application that queries business data in natural language: the model interprets the questions, and the database calculates the figures. The project shows how I deal with accurate answers, checks and the sustainability of an AI solution.
