Platform & Solution Architecture
Deciding how the whole thing should be built
The shape of a system worked out on paper first, so the parts fit and the cost is known before anyone writes code.

Selected work demonstrating this service.
-
Overhauled internal processes, saving 8,000 hours
Overhauled internal processes, saving 8,000 hours by improving software architecture, systems, and scheduling efficiency.
-
A mapping product, carried end to end
Architected, developed, implemented, supported infrastructure, data processing, and the map application for 2 years non‑stop without any weekends, holidays, or vacations, 10–14 hours a day.
-
A tenth of the cloud bill, and nothing lost
Optimized budget costs 10 times with zero loss in productivity for an international client by reimagining the overall infrastructure, eliminating unnecessary services, and relocating from the AWS cloud.
-
Built organization context switching for users
Designed an organization context‑switching system with client localStorage and server‑side cookie mirroring, letting users act as managed organizations while enforcing least‑privilege authorization.
-
Built infrastructure that still runs years later
Planned and implemented new infrastructure functionality for internal and external systems, building solutions durable enough to still run years later with minimal change.
-
Built the entire core infrastructure from scratch
As one of the first hires, designed and built the entire core infrastructure and supporting processes from scratch for a green‑energy SaaS startup, laying the foundation for rapid growth.
-
A whole company on one small server
Ran the whole company on one 512 MB single‑core host — a git forge, a web server serving seven domains, Tor, two alternate‑protocol servers, backups and intrusion banning — by treating 464 MB of usable memory as the binding architectural constraint.
-
An app that ate 41 MB a second, stopped
Stopped an application filling memory at 41 MB a second — a recorded 111 GB of compressed pages on a 36 GB machine — by bounding every event stream, subscribing by event type and putting a rate budget on logging, taking 610,996 log lines down to 1,411.
If this is the work you need done, the next step is a conversation.
