The technical co-founder
you don't have to hire.
250+ projects. Zero half-measures. I don't build it for you — I make sure you and your team build it right. The thinking, the decisions, the confidence to ship.
No commitment. No pitch. Just 30 minutes focused on your problem.
How I help
I don't replace your team — I make them significantly better.
Cloud Architecture
I help your team make confident cloud decisions — the right services, the right tradeoffs, the right path forward. AWS, GCP, or Azure, designed to scale without surprises.
Real-time & High-Scale Systems
I guide teams through the hard calls on event-driven architecture, streaming, and high-throughput design — so they can build systems that hold up when it matters most.
Data Platforms & AI
I help teams cut through the noise on data and AI — choosing the right models, the right stack, the right data patterns — and build systems they actually understand and own.
Systems Design & Architecture
I work with your team to design systems they can reason about, evolve, and own long after I'm gone. Distributed systems, microservices, resilience patterns — done right.
Product Engineering
From early decisions to go-to-market, I help teams navigate the full product lifecycle — making the right calls at the right time so execution stays sharp and focused.
Tech Leadership & Advisory
I help engineering leaders and their teams level up — clearer decisions, better prioritisation, stronger culture. Fractional CTO, embedded advisor, or thinking partner.
The co-founder model,
without the equity.
PNVDS is a boutique tech consultancy built on a simple belief: the best outcome isn't a team that depends on me — it's a team that's sharper, faster, and more confident because of me. Across 250+ projects, I've been the person in the room who helps teams make better decisions, avoid expensive mistakes, and ship things they're proud of.
I've led engineering organisations across multiple parallel workstreams, sat in go-to-market rooms, and operated in some of the highest-pressure environments imaginable. I bring all of that to your team — as a thinking partner, a force multiplier, and someone fully invested in your success.

The goal isn't dependency — it's capability. Every engagement ends with your team owning the decisions, the system, and the outcome.
Breadth without compromise
Cloud, AI, data, real-time systems, architecture, product — I've operated at the intersection of all of them, not just one.
Engineering meets business
I've led engineering organisations and sat in go-to-market rooms. Technical rigour and commercial awareness in the same conversation.
