I partner with product teams and founders to architect scalable backend systems, lead delivery, and build cloud-native platforms that grow with your business. 13+ years of distributed systems expertise — now expanding into Agentic AI and MCP tooling.
What I bring to your table
System Architecture
Design and review of distributed microservices platforms — from greenfield architecture to legacy modernisation. I'll make sure your system scales before it has to.
Cloud-Native Delivery
End-to-end Azure cloud infrastructure — App Services, Container Apps, Functions, API Management, Cosmos DB — designed production-ready from day one.
High-Throughput APIs
Engineering performant REST APIs and third-party integrations built to hold up under real load. I've shipped systems serving millions of concurrent users.
Team Lead & Scrum Delivery
I can embed as a hands-on tech lead or run your full Scrum cycle — sprint planning, backlog refinement, standups, retrospectives, and stakeholder reporting — while still writing code.
Observability & SRE
Building reliability into your platform through Grafana dashboards, Loki log aggregation, alerting pipelines, and runbooks that actually reduce incidents.
Agentic AI & MCP
Helping teams design and integrate agentic AI systems — LLM-powered backends, Model Context Protocol (MCP) server architecture, tool-use orchestration, and AI workflow automation.
Discovery & Scoping
We start with a focused session to understand your system, your team, and the problems you're actually trying to solve — not just the ones on the surface.
Architecture & Planning
I produce clear architecture proposals, technical roadmaps, and delivery plans with realistic scope. No hand-wavy diagrams — decisions you can build on immediately.
Embedded Delivery
I join your team in-sprint, write production code, run Scrum ceremonies, and mentor engineers as we ship together. Async-first, remote-comfortable, across time zones.
Handoff & Continuity
Every engagement ends with thorough documentation, knowledge transfer, and a system your team owns confidently — not a black box only I can maintain.
AI infrastructure for engineering teams
Meridian sits between your teams and the AI models they use — giving you control over who can access AI, what they can spend, and what happens when something goes wrong. Built for organisations where AI is becoming critical infrastructure, not just an experiment.
Recent Requests
Provider Health
Zero Disruption
Change one URL. Any app already calling OpenAI works immediately — no new SDKs, no code changes, no migration project.
Per-Team Budgets
Each team gets a monthly spend limit. Alerts at threshold, clean rejection at cap — no more surprise invoices from a runaway integration.
Automatic Failover
Meridian watches provider health continuously. When OpenAI has an outage, traffic routes to Anthropic automatically — no human intervention needed.
Isolated API Keys
Every team gets its own key, revocable in seconds. One compromised credential affects nothing else. Provider keys never leave the gateway.
Smart Caching
Exact and semantic caching returns repeated answers in under 30ms with no provider call. Typical teams save 20–40% on AI spend through caching alone.
Full Audit Log
Every request recorded: team, model, cost, latency, cache result. Queryable by tenant and date range — ready for compliance reviews and finance attribution.
