We lead IT organisations as interim CIO, IT Director or Head of Architecture. We have held those roles ourselves, in manufacturing, SaaS and travel.

• IT organisation design and change management
• Business and IT target operating model
• IT vision, strategy and roadmap
• Building and growing IT teams
• Vendor management and strategic partnerships

Enterprise architecture that reaches delivery: target architectures, transition roadmaps and the governance to carry them, judged by whether teams can build against them.

• Target architecture and transition roadmaps
• Data architecture and AI strategy
• Architecture governance and guidance to delivery teams
• Integration architecture, including SAP S/4HANA and BTP
• Security architecture for NIS2 and OT
• TOGAF without the tears: models that business and engineers read and use

We write the code ourselves, and we build our own products. TownPlanner is our suite of architecture-as-code tools: a typed Scala DSL renders one TOGAF model to PDF, Markdown and ArchiMate. Its newest tool, kura, is a GraphRAG system for enterprise architecture.

Genius Fish is a privacy-first platform for families with special needs children, built in Scala 3 on local LLMs and paid for out of our consulting revenue. We use both to test what we recommend to you.

• Java and Scala
• Software refactoring and modernisation
• Microservice architectures and event-driven systems
• Proofs of concept, prototypes and MVPs
• Event sourcing and domain-driven design

We build AI systems that run on your own data, and we tell you upfront what they will cost to run.

• GraphRAG over your own documents and architecture models
• Local LLMs where the arithmetic favours them, hosted models where it does not
• Model Context Protocol servers over your existing systems
• AI governance and the EU AI Act, designed in from the start
• Architecture review of an AI programme already under way
