Selected work

Three problems, the constraints we worked within, the decisions we made and what changed. Each is written from published or authorised material.

Problem → constraints → decision → outcome

Case study 01 · Platform reliability

Know Your Cluster

“It’s green, so it must be healthy.”

Most teams treat a green dashboard as proof of health and only look deeper once something breaks. We built the observability to see what self-healing hides, and the discipline to act on it before it became an outage.

  • 30+ dashboards
  • 0 chronic alerts

Case study 02 · Platform lifecycle

Keeping pace

“How do we keep pace with upgrades?”

Modern platforms release continuously, and a high-security environment can’t download its way to the next version. We made upgrades a planned, repeatable practice, run by our own people and kept inside vendor support.

  • Air-gapped
  • Run in-house

Case study 03 · Data to decisions

Oil Condition Monitoring

“We service on the calendar, not on condition.”

Fixed servicing intervals waste effort and still miss early signs of failure. Integrating oil analysis, sensor readings, usage and maintenance history let Army service armoured vehicles on evidence.

  • Millions saved in maintenance
