Supporting credibility
A long architecture track record, kept in support of the consulting offer.
This page is for buyers who want the experience layer behind the services: architecture leadership across modernization, integration, platform change, security, and delivery governance.
Senior architecture judgment shaped in delivery-heavy environments.
Brad has worked across enterprise, solution, and platform architecture in finance, energy, digital product, retail, logistics, and public-sector contexts. The through-line is consistent: clarify difficult trade-offs, reduce delivery risk, and make architecture useful to teams that still have to ship.
architecture and technical leadership
Long-range experience across multiple delivery eras, from earlier enterprise estates to modern cloud-native programs.
finance to digital product
Work spans financial services, energy, commerce, public-sector environments, and large consumer platforms.
strategy plus execution
Comfortable moving between roadmaps, governance, architecture documentation, delivery alignment, and targeted technical spikes.
boardroom to delivery teams
Trusted where product, engineering, security, and leadership need a shared frame for technical decisions.
Set up for consulting across France and Europe.
Brad is based in France and works comfortably across hybrid and remote collaboration. The best fit is usually senior architecture or advisory work tied directly to delivery rather than abstract strategy detached from execution.
France-based, with English and French site presence from the start.
Comfortable across hybrid or remote collaboration models in Europe.
Useful in rooms that mix stakeholders, architects, engineers, and delivery leads.
A fuller detailed CV can still be shared directly when procurement or due diligence needs it.
Recent roles and the longer arc behind them.
This is a selective timeline, not a full document dump. It emphasizes the roles and patterns most relevant to consulting work around modernization, integration, governance, and architecture leadership.

Planned transition and renovation chapter
UK and France
Used a deliberate break to complete a move to France and large-scale renovation work. Even outside software, the same themes applied: sequencing, constraint management, judgment under uncertainty, and seeing work through physically as well as conceptually.
- constraint management
- long-horizon delivery
- France-based
- 2023–2024

The architecture patterns Brad is repeatedly asked to navigate.
The mix below reflects the overlap between technical depth and delivery reality: architecture is most useful when it makes hard work more governable rather than more abstract.
Architecture leadership in ambiguous environments
Useful where teams need sharper decision boundaries, clearer trade-offs, and someone who can connect business pressure with technical consequence.
- decision framing
- stakeholder alignment
- delivery pressure
Modernization and platform change
Experienced in sequencing change around legacy constraints, cloud adoption, migration risk, and the reality that most important systems cannot be replaced in one move.
- legacy constraints
- migration
- cloud platforms
API, integration, and system boundaries
Strong background in API strategy, gateways, integration patterns, event-driven thinking, and designing boundaries that help systems and teams scale more cleanly.
- APIs
- integration strategy
- event-driven
- microservices
Security, identity, and governance
Comfortable in work that touches IAM, CIAM, compliance, privacy, and the practical governance needed when architecture decisions create policy consequences.
- IAM
- CIAM
- GDPR
- risk posture
AI delivery relevance without AI theatre
Not an AI-only profile, but highly relevant where teams need review loops, architecture guardrails, integration discipline, and production-minded adoption instead of unchecked prototype momentum.
- review loops
- guardrails
- adoption discipline
Hands-on technical credibility
Still close enough to code, tooling, and architecture artifacts to prototype, document, or test a direction when a concrete artifact will unblock the right decision.
- technical spikes
- documentation
- tooling fluency
