Technical advisory

Fractional Technical Leadership

Senior AI and data engineering guidance alongside your team. I help review architecture, resolve technical decisions and shape implementation priorities. We agree a regular review cadence and the decisions or implementation work I will own.

Discuss this service

Is this the right service?

Who it is for. Technology and product leaders who need senior technical direction across an AI or data initiative.

The problem. Important architecture and delivery decisions need an experienced reviewer, while engineers still need practical direction.

The result. Clearer decisions and ownership, with a technical plan your team can act on.

What it covers

Architecture review

Review the current design against the intended use, operating environment and source constraints.

  • Document design risks, tradeoffs and recommendations.

Technical decisions and priorities

Help product and engineering owners decide what to build, defer or investigate.

  • Maintain decision records and prioritized technical actions.

Work alongside the team

Agree where design review, pairing or direct implementation would help. The cadence and responsibilities are set in the engagement scope.

  • Deliver agreed reviews, pairing sessions and implementation increments.

Approach

  1. 01

    Understand the initiative

    Review architecture, team responsibilities and the decisions currently blocking progress.

  2. 02

    Set priorities

    Agree the decisions, reviews and hands-on work that need senior attention.

  3. 03

    Review and adjust

    Work with the team at the agreed cadence and update priorities as evidence changes.

What you get

Architecture reviews, decision records, technical priorities and agreed pairing or implementation work.

Relevant experience

My Government of Canada data-platform work and UN AI engineering delivery provide the practical background for architecture and implementation guidance.

For a single decision about where to begin, consider an AI opportunity assessment.

For a defined system build, explore architecture and implementation.

For a specific assistant release decision, use chatbot testing and evaluation.

Working together

Projects are delivered remotely, with a defined scope, scheduled reviews and written progress updates. We agree meeting times, access requirements and acceptance criteria before work begins. Code, documentation and handover are included as specified in your engagement.
