Architecture Health Check

An independent read on your .NET and Azure architecture.

Two hours or two weeks. You get the risks, a target architecture and the five things to do first.

01 — Who this is for

Before a big change, not after it.

For teams running .NET on Azure that are about to scale, split a monolith, move off a shared database, add event-driven integration or put AI into production, and want someone outside the team to look first.

02 — Two ways to start

One offer, in two sizes.

Tier 1

Review session

€350 excluding VAT
2 hours · remote

A live call over your architecture, diagrams and current pain. You get my read on the biggest risks and what I would do first. No document. Good for a specific decision, a second opinion, or deciding whether the full check is worth it.

04 — Why me

An architect who still works in the code.

I am a Cloud, AI & Data Solution Architect and hands-on Tech Lead with 20+ years delivering distributed, cloud-native and AI systems, and Tech Lead / Architect since 2014.

I do this work hands-on. I review the code, the infrastructure as code, the pipelines and the telemetry, not just the diagrams.

  • Microsoft Certified Azure Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-305), and 6× Microsoft & Scrum.org certified.
  • Authored and drove 15+ Architecture Decision Records with the product owner and tech leads for the inventory domain of an enterprise multi-brand platform: the stock-domain split off a shared database, per-shop costing and discounts, and the cart handoff.
  • Ran a code-level security review of the repositories and Terraform, and AI-assisted code-to-configuration reviews across production APIs, then verified the findings and closed the security and configuration gaps.
  • As release owner, traced cross-service defects with Application Insights (KQL), Azure SQL and the code, and made the go/no-go calls.
