Sector and scale of past work, with the challenge, approach and outcome for each. Specific client and programme names are covered by NDA and shared on request.

National energy market switching platform

Challenge

Great Britain's energy suppliers needed a shared, governed way to switch customers between suppliers next-day, replacing a slower legacy process on a platform that had to run at very high availability through large transaction peaks.

Approach

Owned the end-to-end integration architecture, set the technical standards and governance framework the whole delivery team worked to, and acted as the senior technical authority working directly with client stakeholders and delivery partners.

Outcome

A live national platform handling millions of transactions within a 30-minute window at peak, with a governance model that let the platform evolve safely across multiple Azure subscriptions and environments.

Government platform migration and rebuild

Challenge

A public-facing government platform, built on large-scale geospatial and PostgreSQL data, needed to move off third-party infrastructure onto new data centre infrastructure without breaking service, alongside a front-end rebuild.

Approach

Designed the infrastructure, networking and migration architecture end to end, including NGINX configuration and firewall and DNS design, and produced the full migration plan and new disaster recovery capability.

Outcome

Successful migration to new infrastructure delivered alongside an improved front end, with disaster recovery capability the platform hadn't had before.

Secure smart metering rollout

Challenge

A large-scale smart metering programme needed technical implementation delivered inside a secure, government-regulated environment, across multiple data centres and several isolated Active Directory domains.

Approach

Directed delivery across infrastructure, networking, security and platform teams, coordinated deployment across the data centres, and managed technical risks and dependencies against a fixed programme schedule.

Outcome

Technical milestones delivered on schedule across a secure, multi-domain environment, under Security Check (SC) clearance.

Energy-sector platform governance and engineering

Challenge

A business-critical energy-sector platform needed consistent Azure governance and hands-on infrastructure engineering as it scaled, without slowing delivery down.

Approach

Defined governance standards covering Azure Policy, RBAC, Entra ID and Key Vault, led technical reviews across design, networking, security and resilience, and deployed infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code and Azure DevOps.

Outcome

A governed, auditable platform with monitoring and alerting in place, and a clear standard the wider team could build against.
