Mentoring & Advisory

Senior architectural judgment, on demand.

I advise early-stage startups on architecture, AI, and security — and mentor individuals navigating technical and leadership challenges. A small number of engagements each year, focused on where I can add the most value.

Architecture review

A focused deep dive into your system. You get a written assessment, prioritized risks, and concrete recommendations on data flow, security posture, and AI integration.

Best fit

Pre-Series A teams who have shipped, and want a senior second opinion.

Fractional architect

Ongoing involvement as the senior technical voice in the room — pairing with your CTO or tech lead on hard calls across product, infrastructure, and AI.

Best fit

Teams between 5 and 30 engineers without a dedicated principal architect.

Security Advisory

Leading threat models and hands-on security consultancy. I help teams identify attack surfaces, build defensive architecture, and ship with confidence.

Best fit

Teams building products where security is a differentiator — or a liability.

Speaking engagements

Keynotes, panels, and hands-on workshops on AI, cybersecurity, and human-computer interaction. I bring research-backed, practical insight to conferences, corporate events, and educational programmes.

Best fit

Organisers looking for a speaker who bridges technical depth with engaging, accessible delivery.

Individual mentoring

One-to-one sessions for engineers, architects, and founders navigating career transitions, technical decisions, or leadership challenges. Structured, honest, and focused on your context.

Best fit

Individuals looking for senior perspective without the overhead of a full engagement.

Whether you're a founder with a hard architectural call or an individual looking for senior perspective — let's talk.
