| Project | Focus | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| AdoScope | ADO.NET / Dapper data access | Project name for the Promethix.Framework.Ado C# library. Provides scoped connection and transaction lifecycle management for applications that need explicit persistence boundaries. |
| Cloudflare Router Operator | Kubernetes / Cloudflare Tunnel | Kubernetes operator for managing Cloudflare Tunnel route lifecycle from within the cluster. |
| Promethix Helm Charts | Helm / Kubernetes packaging | Public Helm chart repository for Promethix Labs projects and supporting platform components. |
AdoScope in production
The AdoScope library is used in large enterprise .NET systems and built around production-proven patterns where transaction correctness, maintainability, and operational clarity matter.

In my day role at Atos, I focus on application architecture, transformation, and modernisation in the .NET ecosystem. Outside that, I run infrastructure and open-source projects under the Promethix and Lawsystems brands, including Kubernetes-based hosting/platform support for a small marketing consultancy and virtualised CAD infrastructure for a structural engineering firm.
My work typically sits at the boundary between software architecture, delivery engineering, and platform operations: modernising legacy .NET systems, improving testability and deployment safety, and building the infrastructure needed to run applications reliably.
- Enterprise .NET modernisation and architectural refactoring
- Modular monolith architecture
- Dependency injection, automated testing, CI/CD, and clearer application layering
- ADO.NET, Dapper, scoped data access, and unit-of-work patterns
- Kubernetes operators, Helm charts, GitOps, and Cloudflare Tunnel automation
- Supply-chain transparency: SBOMs, provenance, checksums, and release verification
- Private-cloud infrastructure using Proxmox, Kubernetes, Vault, Cilium, Flux, Ceph, and TrueNAS
- AI-assisted software engineering and self-hosted LLM infrastructure
- Explicit architecture and clear boundaries
- Maintainable systems over clever abstractions
- Operational safety, observability, and repeatable delivery
- Security, provenance, and release traceability by default
- Pragmatic modernisation that improves real-world maintainability
