A cloud programme has stalled
The migration is behind, the costs keep climbing and nobody can say exactly why. I find the architectural cause and a credible way to restart.
Independent practice · since 1999
For 27 years I've advised boards and senior management on security, cloud and technology. Today that increasingly comes down to one question: what AI will do to your architecture, your security and the way you deliver.
Taking on a small number of new advisory engagements for 2027.
When I'm called in
The migration is behind, the costs keep climbing and nobody can say exactly why. I find the architectural cause and a credible way to restart.
A merger, carve-out or reorganisation means systems, identities and contracts must be redrawn without stopping the business.
Not a list of pilots, but a clear view of what AI changes in your architecture, your risk and your delivery, and what to do first.
Identity, zoning and cloud controls that an auditor can follow and a board can sign off, not just a clean penetration test.
A platform, vendor or reference architecture you'll live with for a decade. I pressure-test it before you commit.
Strong teams, but no one setting architectural direction. I step in as interim lead architect until you have your own.
How an engagement runs
You describe the decision in front of you. I tell you honestly whether I'm the right person for it.
I look at the architecture, the constraints and the people, and set out the real options and what each one commits you to.
A recommendation and roadmap your board can sign off and your teams can execute, and my help seeing it through if you want it.
Proof
Most advisers advise. I also build and operate production software: Yachtara, a marine navigation and boat-management platform, designed, built and run by AD Internet Consulting on its own AWS estate, using my own multi-agent AI development operation.
Weather and route planning, maintenance, anchor watch and crew management for boat owners: one product, in production, operated end to end by this practice.
In their words
He proved instrumental in raising our understanding and practice of related cloud operations across the board.
He's open minded, expresses himself as needed and has a healthy portion of humor.
