About me
I help organisations navigate complex cloud transformation – as an Independent Senior Architect, as a Fractional CTO, and as the Technical Partner who can lead the engagement end-to-end when the stakes are too high for uncertainty.
My focus is Cloud migration, Cloud exit, and Complex infrastructure change – the programmes that have real consequences for business continuity, regulatory standing, and multi-year cost.
I work with C-level leadership directly, either as an Advisor or as the Senior technical authority on the engagement itself. I have led these programmes for Tier-1 banks, global Fortune 500 manufacturers, the world’s largest technology companies, and one of the world’s most-watched television networks. I do this independently, through partnerships with other specialist companies, and with my own delivery team.
I am based in Madrid, Spain. My consulting company operates internationally.
Independent Senior Architect
Cloud migration strategy, target architecture, and hands-on technical leadership for enterprise programmes. I own the architectural direction and the results — not just the advice.
Fractional CTO / Technical Lead
C-level technical authority for companies and programmes that need senior leadership without a full-time hire. I can serve as CTO, CIO, or Programme Technical Director — with direct board engagement and full delivery accountability.
Partner-Led Delivery
For larger programmes, I work through partnerships with specialist companies and deploy my own delivery team. I run multiple engagements in parallel – which means I am operationally current, not theoretically current.
What I Work On
☁️
Cloud Migration
End-to-end migration from physical data centers or legacy cloud to AWS, Oracle Cloud (OCI), or multi-cloud. Assessment, architecture, team leadership, and delivery — including in environments where the source infrastructure is undocumented or the deadline is fixed.
🚪
Cloud Exit & Repatriation
Specialist service · few architects offer this
Structured exit from cloud when costs exceed value, vendor lock-in has become a risk, or the operating model has changed. Financial modelling, exit architecture, and managed transition.
🏛️
Engineering Organisation & Technology Governance
Building the governance function that makes technology adoption sustainable at scale – engineering standards, delivery processes, AI-driven practices, compliance frameworks, cost management, and the organisational authority to enforce them across international teams.
⚖️
Regulatory & Compliance Architecture
DORA, NIS2, HIPAA, SOC-2, GxP — translating regulatory requirements into architecture decisions before deadlines make those decisions irreversible. Independent assessment of what existing infrastructure actually meets.
🌍
Geopolitical Infrastructure Resilience
First-hand operational experience · not theoretical
Architecture that accounts for geographic concentration risk, political disruption, and physical infrastructure threats. I have led this under actual wartime conditions. Published framework in CloudTweaks.
🔍
Independent Technical Evaluation
Before committing to large infrastructure investments or vendor recommendations — an independent assessment with no stake in the outcome. PoC evaluation, vendor comparison, architecture review before the decision locks in.
Why Clients Trust Me With This Work
🚨
Led the emergency cloud migration of a core banking platform — during the outbreak of war in Ukraine
I joined Raiffeisen Bank Ukraine as Technical Lead two days before the full-scale invasion began. The modernisation plan became irrelevant in 72 hours. I led the emergency migration of critical banking infrastructure under active missile alerts — with a legal barrier waived by emergency central bank order. Zero business outages. This engagement has been referenced by McKinsey, AWS, and Euromoney as a globally significant case study in emergency cloud migration.
🏗️
3 European data centers to AWS — for one of the world’s largest real estate tech companies
Led one of the largest cloud migration programmes in Endava history — simultaneously serving as team lead and Architecture Board member with direct C-level client communication. Infrastructure was undocumented due to staff turnover. Migration completed over 1.5 years with zero production outages. My team was rated the most effective in the programme for both delivery speed and environment understanding.
🔮
OCI expertise – one of the few architects in the market with genuine Oracle Cloud depth
OCI has a fundamentally different architectural model from AWS and Azure – different IAM structure, different network topology, different multi-tenancy patterns. Most cloud governance experience in the market doesn’t transfer directly. I hold Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Certified Multicloud Architect Professional (2025), have led live OCI and AWS multi-cloud governance programmes, and have published technical work on OCI multi-tenancy SSO architecture.

How I Work
I work on multiple engagements in parallel
I deliberately maintain parallel client engagements rather than working exclusively with one organisation. This keeps my knowledge of what’s happening in cloud, security, and infrastructure current — not theoretical. Clients benefit from cross-industry pattern recognition that single-client experience doesn’t produce.
I engage directly at C-level
My engagements typically involve regular direct interaction with CTOs, CIOs, and other C-level leadership — either as advisor, as programme technical lead, or as the technical authority that translates architecture decisions into business language. I am not a team resource; I am the senior technical partner.
I work through my own company and partnerships
My consulting company operates from Madrid. For larger programmes, I work through established partnerships with specialist companies and can deploy my own delivery team. This allows me to cover both advisory and execution without compromising on the quality of either.
I stay technical while operating at strategy level
The combination of hands-on technical depth and business leadership experience means I can review actual architecture, infrastructure code, and production systems — while simultaneously representing the programme to the board. Most senior consultants do one or the other. I do both.
Ready to talk?
In 30 minutes I can tell you whether your situation maps to what I do — what the real risks are in your specific context, and what a first engagement looks like: what questions we’d answer, what you’d have at the end, and what decisions it would support.
No sales pitch. A direct conversation about your situation.
