Helping organizations accelerate software delivery

You are eager to accelerate development to keep up with evolving business needs


You suspect that you have outgrown your monolith and need a more nimble architecture


You have adopted microservices and want simpler and faster 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.


Another option, is my Architecting for fast, sustainable flow workshop that will teach you how to architect for fast flow including how to choose between the monolith and microservice architectures.
