Strategic Technology Consultation Services

Your Technology Should Accelerate Growth, Not Constrain It

When you’re competing against larger enterprises with bigger budgets, every technology decision matters. You need more than technical expertiseโ€”you need strategic guidance that delivers measurable business impact. As a Microsoft MVP with experience spanning Formula 1 performance optimization to startup scalability, I partner with ambitious SMEs and high-growth businesses to transform technology from a cost center into a competitive advantage.

This is a photograph of an interior office space. In the foreground, there is a wooden conference table surrounded by five  modern chairs with high backs and metal legs. The table appears to be large, rectangular in shape with rounded edges, and centrally located within a room. To the right of the image, there are additional pieces of modern furniture including additional seating areas, suggesting a space designed for meetings or collaborative work.
The room has a contemporary aesthetic with neutral colors and natural light coming from the windows. The flooring is not fully visible but appears to be a dark-toned wood or laminate. On the walls, there is a piece of abstract artwork hanging, which add a touch of color and artistic flair to the space.
In the background, beyond the table and chairs, we can see a large window with blinds partially closed, allowing natural light into the room. There is also a plant placed on a surface visible through the windows, contributing to the overall ambiance of the workspace. The lighting in the office seems to be artificial, as there are no visible signs of outdoor light.
There's also a piece of modern art hanging over the table, which has a reflective surface that adds depth to the image. The overall impression is one of a clean, minimalistic office environment with an emphasis on functionality and design.

Client Success Stories

Jamie is an absolute Rockstar. Within a week of him working with us, he had already identified five different areas for improvement, given two inspiring talks, and created a handful of engaging demos, all leading to almost immediate ROI.

- Boris Rabkin, CIO, Ligentia

We engaged Jamie to augment our existing team to overcome some real challenges faced when we inherited a failing product from a different supplier. Jamie worked diligently and meticulously, making a real difference in our plight to overcome these challenges and rescue something that now provides significant benefits for our customers.

- Rich Story, Regional Director, Servita

Jamie came in as a software consultant, working alongside our Platform team to coach them on .NET best practices and get them working properly in pairs and following SOLID and DRY etc. During his time he helped with our microservices architecture in Azure, working out some of the high-level flows and then working to improve unit test coverage and integrations with 3rd parties. He has tons of knowledge and is a real asset as a consultant, and would sit with different devs helping to un-block them. Iโ€™d have no problems recommending him for work in the .NET/Azure space.
