Freelance Solution Architect for Mission-Critical & Space IT Systems

About me

Tired of unreliable systems? I turn complexity into resilient IT and software.

Just results.

Your systems are critical. So is getting them right. If you’re dealing with legacy software, overloaded teams, or projects that stall before they scale – you’re not alone.

As a freelance Solution Architect with 10+ years in satellite operations and mission-critical IT, I help you turn complexity into clarity. I design resilient, secure, and scalable IT and software solutions that actually work. Even when failure isn’t an option.

No fluff. No drama. Just results. If you’re looking for someone who takes ownership and delivers resilient IT for demanding environments, let’s talk.
