Prerequisites
Code repository, build procedure, service and user description, known incidents and hosting constraints. Focused interviews complement code inspection.
Architecture & consulting
Technical consulting & software architecture
Auditing existing code, architecture choices, legacy migration, code review — I bring a senior perspective to help you make the right technical decisions, before or during a project.
Based in Raismes, near Valenciennes, available for consulting assignments across the Hauts-de-France region — Lille, Douai, Maubeuge, Cambrai — or fully remote.
Engagement scope
An audit that helps decide the next phase.
Before a takeover or a major change, an audit connects technical symptoms to business risks: a fragile workflow, an unmaintained dependency, manual deployment or missing tests. Recommendations are ordered by usefulness and dependencies.
Deliverables
Component and dependency map, evidence-backed findings, prioritised risks and phased roadmap. Architecture decisions explain options, trade-offs and conditions that could invalidate them.
Acceptance
Review with your team using reproducible examples. Each priority action has an expected outcome and a verification method; a prototype can resolve major uncertainty before implementation.
Next steps
The diagnostic can be followed by implementation support, code reviews or handover to your team. Follow-on work is scoped separately. Initial reply within 48 business hours, quote after scoping.
Two documented personal decisions: a .NET facade in front of Navidrome and a Flutter journal without a server. They address different constraints with explicit limitations.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about architecture & consulting
What does a code audit involve? +
A code audit assesses the quality, maintainability, security and performance of your existing codebase. I deliver a structured report listing the risks identified, their severity and my prioritised recommendations — without needless jargon.
Can you support an in-house team as a consultant? +
Yes. I can step in on a consulting basis alongside an existing team: architecture review, code review, pair programming, best-practice training. On-site in Valenciennes or remotely.
How does a legacy system migration work? +
Migration starts with mapping the existing system and its dependencies, then defining the target. We then proceed in incremental steps: strangler pattern, progressive rewrite, regression testing.
What deliverables can I expect from a consulting engagement? +
Depending on the engagement: a detailed audit report, architecture diagrams (C4, UML), ADRs (Architecture Decision Records), prioritised recommendations, a technical backlog or a migration plan. Everything is documented and reusable by your team.
