Available for select engagements

Staff-level architecture, on call.

Two decades of modernizing legacy platforms into scalable, cloud-native systems — available to a small number of teams who need a senior hand on the hard problems.

Where Summit helps most

Summit Cloud Services is the independent practice of a principal architect and staff-level engineer who has spent a career taking tightly-coupled, hard-to-change systems and turning them into clean, observable, cloud-native services — without stopping the business to do it.

Engagements are deliberately kept few and focused: architecture and code review, cloud-migration strategy, API and integration design, and hands-on technical leadership when a team needs momentum.

Ways to work together

  • Advisory — architecture reviews, second-opinion design sessions, and a roadmap you can act on.
  • Cloud migration — planning and de-risking a move to Azure while the lights stay on.
  • Hands-on — embedded technical leadership through a critical build or modernization.
Focus areas

What I go deep on

Architecture & modernization

Domain-driven design and service-oriented refactors that untangle monoliths into maintainable, testable systems.

Azure cloud migration

Multi-year, zero-downtime migrations from on-prem to Azure — App Services, Functions, Front Door, Key Vault, Azure SQL.

API & integration design

REST platforms, SCIM user management, payment-provider and third-party integrations built for versioning and longevity.

Technical leadership

Setting standards, mentoring engineers, and directing contractor teams through delivery — with an owner's eye on quality.

Modernized a flagship platform

Re-architected a monolithic forms platform into a DDD-inspired, service-oriented .NET Core system — establishing clean bounded contexts that scaled cleanly with demand and made the platform far easier to maintain.

Led a multi-year Azure migration

Architected and oversaw the move of production products from on-prem to Azure while sustaining uptime above the 99.5% contractual SLA throughout.

Built REST & payment platforms

Designed a SCIM-based REST API and integrated nearly a dozen payment providers under PCI SAQ-A compliance across institutional customers.

Kept regulated systems compliant

Maintained SOC 2 Type II, HECVAT, WCAG 2.2, and HIPAA-aligned practices in partnership with corporate security and compliance teams.
