Skills

What I bring to a team

A broad toolbox built over three decades, with Java and solution architecture at its core, and the people skills to bridge business and technology.

Java has been my main language since 1996, alongside the languages each project needed.

From J2EE and applets to Spring Boot microservices and modern frontends.

Designing systems that fit the business, the existing landscape and the team that will run them.

Setting up and governing cloud environments, and the pipelines that deliver to them.

Relational databases since the mainframe era, plus the event and messaging systems around them.

Making sure systems work, perform and can be understood in production.

From expert systems in the early 1990s to the Oxford AI Programme (2024) and AI tools in everyday engineering today.

Leading as a primus inter pares: building teams, sharing knowledge and bridging business and technology.
