Website prototype: 23 supporting pages plus the v3 home page. Writing is unpublished draft material; the enquiry form prepares a local file and does not send a message.
Start here

- Home
The v3 home page: technology leadership, services, selected work and approach in one place.
- About Rob
Rob’s background across engineering, technology leadership, cloud transformation and AI adoption.
- Start a conversation
Prepare, preview and download an enquiry locally. The prototype does not send it.
Services
Explore the kind of support that fits the decision or change in front of you.
- Services
Compare the four service areas and choose a useful starting point.

Make options, trade-offs, risks, ownership and useful measures explicit.
- Stay with the work
Lead change with the team, review progress and transfer capability.
Writing in progress
Three unpublished prototype drafts exploring technology leadership and engineering decisions.
- Writing
Browse the draft articles and their questions. No article is presented as published.
- When the most expensive AI model can be the cheapest choice
Unpublished prototype draft. Consider total engineering cost, including human review and rework.
- When a delivery problem is an operating-model problem
Unpublished prototype draft. Examine ownership, queues, dependencies and decision rights.
- The first month of fractional CTO leadership
Unpublished prototype draft. Suggested early outcomes, rather than a promised timetable.
