Evidence & Examples

  • Wireless Social platform scaling from cafes to stadiums
  • Multi-venue deployments across hospitality and sports sectors

Overview

I architect systems that scale elegantly—from single-location restaurants to multi-storey shopping centres, open-plan gyms, and whole sports stadiums. Every solution is designed for growth without over-engineering the initial deployment.

Architectural Principles

  • Start simple, scale smart: Build for current needs with clear paths to scale
  • Proven patterns: Leverage battle-tested architectures rather than chasing trends
  • Operational excellence: Design for maintainability, monitoring, and rapid troubleshooting
  • Cost-conscious: Optimise infrastructure spend without sacrificing reliability

Technical Expertise

  • Multi-tenant SaaS: Architected Wireless Social to serve diverse venue types with shared infrastructure
  • High availability: Master-slave database configurations, load balancing, and automated failover
  • Network design: Enterprise wireless deployments using Unifi, Mikrotik, and Open Mesh hardware
  • Cloud & on-premise: Experience with both traditional dedicated servers and modern cloud platforms (AWS)

Real-World Deployments

From small cafes to large-scale venues, I've designed infrastructure that handles thousands of concurrent users while maintaining sub-second response times and 99.9%+ uptime.
