Services

Decide, design, lead. Each engagement has a shape, an output, and an end.

I consult independently; my current assignment is with Osoul Consulting Group, and I am open to the right senior full-time role. Every engagement is scoped to the problem in front of you. If what you need sits between these, say so and we will size it together.

Decide

Before money is committed

Short, independent reviews that put evidence in front of a decision, whether it concerns your estate, an AI ambition, or a vendor.

Short and fixed

A time-boxed review, sized to the estate. Remote or on site.

Architecture assessment

An independent read of where you actually are: cloud estate, application and solution architecture, data movement, integrations and the external dependencies nobody has written down. Evidence first, opinions second.

You receive

Findings report with severity and evidence
Prioritised remediation roadmap
Risk register for dependencies you did not know you had
Walkthroughs for engineering and executive audiences

Right for

Due diligence before a modernisation budget is committed
Estates that grew faster than their governance
A second opinion on a vendor's target architecture

Short and fixed

An architecture review to run before AI licences are bought or agents are built.

AI readiness & agentic governance review

Most AI programmes fail on the systems around the model, not the model itself. This review checks whether your data, integrations, identity and approval processes can carry AI and autonomous agents safely: where automation earns its keep, where a person must still sign, and how every decision stays auditable.

You receive

Readiness assessment across data, APIs, identity and process
Candidate use cases ranked by value, risk and feasibility
Governance model: guardrails, human-in-the-loop points, audit trail design
Reference architecture and a phased adoption plan

Right for

Enterprises under pressure to adopt AI inside governed processes
Document-heavy approvals and correspondence workflows
Regulated or safety-critical environments where a wrong answer is expensive

Short and fixed

A time-boxed sprint, run before a contract is signed or a build is approved.

Vendor & build-vs-buy evaluation sprint

An objective referee for the decisions that lock you in for years: which platform, which vendor, or whether to build at all. Options are scored on total cost of ownership, technical fit, integration effort and exit risk, and the reasoning is written down so the decision outlives the people who made it.

You receive

Evaluation matrix with weighted criteria and evidence per option
Integration and data-migration impact per candidate
A recommendation with the trade-offs stated, recorded as a formal decision
Questions to put to vendors, and the answers to expect

Right for

Multi-year platform or modernisation contracts about to be signed
The recurring enterprise dilemma: SAP, Microsoft, or build our own
RFP shortlists that all look the same on paper

Design

From problem to buildable architecture

Sized to the problem

Duration set by scope and complexity after a short discovery call. Works alongside your analysts and leads.

Discovery to blueprint

From a business problem to a buildable target architecture, shaped around your landscape rather than a reference diagram. Cloud, hybrid, on premises, SAP or a genuine mix.

You receive

Functional and non-functional requirements agreed with stakeholders
Solution, data, integration and infrastructure architecture
Decision records with the trade-offs stated
A documentation repository your team owns afterwards

Right for

New platforms with many integration points
Process orchestration across SAP and non-SAP systems
Bringing AI and autonomous agents into governed processes

Lead

Senior technical leadership, retained

Retained places are limited, so each client gets real attention.

Ongoing, retained

An agreed level of involvement, reviewed as the programme evolves.

Architecture authority

For teams with capable engineers but nobody to hold the technical line. A senior architect on call for the decisions that are expensive to reverse.

You receive

Design and code review at architectural level
Engineering standards and review-board participation
Solution assurance across programmes and vendors
Mentoring for your architects and leads

Right for

Scale-ups formalising their first architecture function
Enterprises between architects
Programmes that need a technical voice at steering level

Ongoing, retained

A defined share of each month, with executive access and a regular strategy cadence.

Interim CTO & engineering leadership

Executive technology leadership without the full-time hire. For organisations between technical leaders, or founders and transformation heads who need someone to own the technology agenda, the team and the vendor relationships for a defined period.

You receive

Technology strategy and roadmap aligned to business goals
Engineering organisation, hiring and delivery practice
Board and steering-committee representation
Vendor and budget ownership, with a handover plan for the permanent leader

Right for

Scale-ups outgrowing founder-led engineering
Enterprises mid-transformation without a technical executive
Cover while a permanent CTO is recruited

Where this applies

The engagements above are the shape of the work. These are the problems they most often solve.

Digital transformation

Processes that outgrow paper, email and spreadsheets

Turning approvals, correspondence and operational routines into governed digital workflows with audit trails, role-based authority and real-time visibility, across SAP, Microsoft and custom platforms.

Legacy modernisation & migration

Moving estates without a big bang nobody will authorise

Baseline and target architecture, incremental migration paths to Azure or AWS, hybrid landing zones, and the data and integration work that decides whether the cutover holds.

Custom software development

Systems no product on the market quite fits

End-to-end delivery of enterprise applications, from domain model to production: .NET, Java or TypeScript backends, modern web and mobile frontends, CI/CD and observability from day one, with a build team assembled for the work.

Enterprise solution extensions

Making SAP, Dynamics and Power Platform fit how your business actually works

Composite applications, process orchestration and integration on top of packaged platforms: SAP BTP, PI/PO and BPM, UI5/Fiori, Dynamics, Power Platform and SharePoint, with clean contracts to everything around them.

Common questions

Where do you work from?

Doha and Cairo, with regular travel. Nordic clients have been served remotely with periodic on-site weeks since 2021.

Can you work inside our SAP landscape?

Yes. SAP PI/PO, BPM/BRM, BTP, NetWeaver Gateway and UI5/Fiori have been core to a decade of delivery. The interesting work is usually where SAP meets everything else.

Do you build, or only advise?

Both. I stay hands on in C#/.NET, TypeScript, Java and Python, and every engagement produces artefacts a team can build from. For custom development a delivery team is assembled for the work rather than assumed.

We want to start with AI. Where do we begin?

With the systems around it. The AI readiness review looks at your data, integrations, identity and approval processes first, then ranks candidate use cases by value and risk. Guardrails and human sign-off points are designed before anything is built.

We need to choose between vendors. Can you help?

Yes, and ideally before the shortlist is final. The vendor and build-vs-buy sprint produces a weighted evaluation with the reasoning written down, so the decision holds up after the people who made it have moved on.

Are you open to full-time roles?

For the right scope, yes: senior architecture or engineering leadership roles where the technical line matters. Consulting engagements continue in parallel until then.
