Hi, I'm Steven.
I help growing companies make smart technology choices, build the right thing (not just anything), and scale without the stress. No jargon. No drama.
What I Do
- Technical Strategy Aligning your tech roadmap with business goals (and stopping the "rebuild it all" instinct).
- Team & Process Leadership Helping your developers do their best work, with fewer meetings and more momentum.
- Vendor & Platform Selection Translating buzzwords into practical choices that actually work for your business.
- Scale Without Chaos Avoiding that awkward moment when your product becomes a monster and your team burns out.
- Building Great Teams Supporting hiring, recruitment, and interviews to ensure you find the right people to grow your tech team and culture.
- Technical Due Diligence Assessing technology, teams, and risks during mergers and acquisitions so you invest with confidence.
- Security Posture & Strategy Reviewing your current security setup and helping you strengthen it with modern tools, best practices, and cloud infrastructure changes.
- Proofs of Concept & Innovation Identifying disruptive opportunities and rapidly validating them through POCs and experiments before your dev team scales them into production.
- AI Strategy & Enablement Helping you identify practical AI use-cases, build lightweight prototypes, and demystify AI for teams and stakeholders who are new to it.
- Compliance & Regulation Helping your business stay compliant with GDPR, data residency laws, the EU AI Act, and other regulatory requirements – without drowning in paperwork.
