Cloud architecture
Azure, hybrid cloud, governance, identity, infrastructure design, security thinking, and migration planning for real operational environments.
Cloud architecture, development, and practical delivery
LDG Solutions
I help organisations design, build, modernise, and run useful technology: cloud platforms, business portals, recruitment ecosystems, integrations, and the development practices around them.
What LDG Solutions is
A hands-on technology partner with architect-level experience
LDG Solutions is the business home for my cloud architecture, software development, and systems delivery work. I am a developer at heart with more than 20 years in IT, covering financial services, telecoms, education, not-for-profit communities, cyber security, DevOps, and cloud transformation.
Services
Technology delivery that joins strategy to working systems
Websites and portals
Public websites, member portals, business applications, APIs, integrations, and workflow tools built around how the organisation actually works.
DevOps and automation
Source control, release pipelines, infrastructure automation, operational improvements, and documentation that keeps the work maintainable.
Working style
Senior technical help from someone who still likes building
My background spans software development, cloud architecture, IT leadership, DevOps, cyber security, and financial services. That means I can move between board-level outcomes, technical design, and the detail needed to get the thing delivered.
- Understand the business problem before choosing the technology.
- Design systems that can be supported, secured, and improved.
- Build, document, and explain the work in plain language.
