Philosophy

Our philosophy is simple — build the smallest thing that can be proven to work.

  • What the system has to do, stated as something checkable
  • The evidence that says it does it
  • What it costs to run, measured rather than assumed
  • What happens when it fails, decided before it does
  • Who maintains it after we leave

That is a standard we hold ourselves to first. This site has no build step, no third-party origin and no analytics of any kind, and a release is not finished until an automated verification gate says the deployed bytes are the ones we built.

Services

  • DevOps and release engineering
    • Infrastructure as code in Bicep, one definition per environment
    • Multi-stage pipelines that build once and deploy that same artifact
    • Automated verification gates, so a green deploy is evidence rather than a claim
    • Domains, DNS and TLS, including migrations done without downtime
  • AI solution architecture

Azure Platform Delivery

Client
Savers
Role
Cloud Engineering & DevOps

Infrastructure defined in Bicep, applications running as Azure Functions and Container Apps, and a multi-stage Azure DevOps pipeline that builds an artifact once and promotes that same artifact through development, UAT and production.

Every promotion is gated on automated verification — availability, TLS, security headers, cache policy, and a byte-level comparison of what was deployed against what was built. End-to-end coverage runs against real browsers with Playwright.

No screenshot: the platform is internal and has no public surface to capture.

The Savers enterprise management console: a row of task icons above a run-time parameter form.

Enterprise Management

Client

Reports Management

Client
Savers
Role
System Administrator

Created a custom administrative interface allowing administrators to:

  • Quickly locate problematic report executions
  • Retrieve the associated parameters in a format suitable for development with SQL Server Management Studio
  • Immediately re-issue the report request without having to re-enter any parameter information

This reduced the mean time to resolution for report support requests for the organization.

The WizKids figure gallery: search filters beside a grid of game figures with their statistics.

Figure Gallery

Client
WizKids
Role
Web Developer

Created a custom figure gallery search and viewing system. Built import utilities to process the spreadsheets created by game designers and transform the data into a relational SQL Server model.
