Helping organizations accelerate software delivery

I provide consulting and training services that help organizations improve their architecture and accelerate software delivery.


I can, for example, review your microservice architecture and identify areas of improvement, or teach a workshop on how to design a microservice architecture.


I also can teach a 1 day workshop Microservices rules: what good looks like that can help you decide whether microservices are a good fit for your application.

South Korea, Singapore, Thailand and India

In April and May, I'll be making trips to Asia. If you are interested in a workshop or consulting engagement at your company, please don't hesitate to contact me.


I'll also be available for remote engagements in those timezones.
