AGX Consulting is a solo architecture-review practice. I partner with engineering teams to pressure-test systems, surface latent risk, and produce decisions you can act on inside a single sprint — not a 90-page deck.
I'm a senior software architect with over a decade of experience designing and reviewing complex platforms across fintech, gaming, and digital systems. I've led architecture at the department head level — owning decisions that shaped how platforms were built, scaled, and maintained. Clients trust me because I've sat in the same seat they're in, made the hard calls, and know exactly where the risks hide.
AGX Advisory is built around one discipline — architecture. I work with engineering teams to pressure-test existing systems and design new ones from the ground up — uncovering hidden risk, making critical decisions, and delivering recommendations clear enough to act on immediately.
Every engagement is run personally, end to end. No subcontracting, no juniors, no deck-driven deliverables. You get a written report — prioritised, defensible, and short enough to actually read.
Every engagement ends in something written — a blueprint, a memo, a register of findings. No slideware, no recommendation theatre. The right format depends on where you are.
Full end-to-end architecture design for new platforms — from concept to blueprint. Ideal for founders and CTOs starting a complex build who want the system designed properly before a line of production code is written.
Assessment of an existing system — identifying risks, gaps, scalability ceilings, and technical debt. A great first engagement that often leads to bigger work once the picture is clear on paper.
Independent technical assessment for investors or acquirers evaluating a technology platform before committing capital. Clear-eyed read of the system, the team, and what you'd actually be buying.
Ongoing access to senior architecture advisory on a fixed monthly basis. Covers reviews, guidance, team Q&A, and strategic input as the product evolves — a second pair of eyes always on standby.
A structured engagement to assess and improve how your engineering team works — covering delivery workflows, sprint cadence, code review practices, team structure, and development standards. The outcome is a leaner, faster, more consistent engineering operation.
Every engagement runs the same way: a short call to see if it's the right fit, a written scope you can take or leave, then the review itself — on a calendar, with a written deliverable at the end.
A short, confidential call to understand the system, the stakeholders, and the question worth asking. No obligation — you leave with a one-page memo either way.
The review itself. Code, infra, data, runbooks, the people on call — read carefully, in context, against an agreed brief. One written report at the end. No deckware.
After the report, an optional standing advisory — a second opinion on designs, ADRs, and incidents while you act on the findings. Bi-weekly, written, async-first.
The fastest way in is a 30-minute scoping call. You describe the system and the worry; I describe how (and whether) I would review it. If we proceed, you have a written scope inside a week.
