My work is structured around clarity and control: establish the risk profile, align decisions, and enable delivery teams with pragmatic governance.
Explicitly excluded: hands-on development, delivery ownership, on-call duties, staff augmentation.
1) AWS Programme Assurance
Best for: regulated platforms, government programmes, or multi-team AWS environments where failure is costly.
Includes
- Programme-level risk assessment (delivery, architecture, operations)
- Architecture governance review and decision flow analysis
- Resilience posture review (availability, performance, incident readiness)
- Prioritised risk register with mitigation options
- Executive-ready recommendations and briefing
Typical duration: 6–12 weeks (remote)
Pricing guidance: typically £22k–£35k depending on scope and risk profile
2) Fractional Technical Advisor (Retainer)
Best for: organisations scaling rapidly that need senior technical judgement without hiring.
Includes
- Regular architecture and risk reviews
- Incident review participation and remediation guidance
- Decision support for product, delivery, and senior stakeholders
- Coaching senior engineers/tech leads on ownership and trade-offs
Cadence: 1–3 days per week (remote)
Pricing guidance: from £6k/month (1 day/week) up to £17k/month (3 days/week)
3) Stabilisation & Enablement (Time-boxed)
Best for: programmes where delivery is moving but predictability and robustness are compromised.
Includes
- Diagnosis of systemic delivery constraints and technical debt risk
- Pragmatic ways-of-working reset across roles and teams
- Governance that enables delivery rather than constraining it
- Clear ownership boundaries and escalation paths
- Exit plan and handover so the programme can operate without me
Typical duration: 6–10 weeks (remote)
Pricing guidance: typically £15k–£30k depending on complexity
