20+ years building, fixing and modernising enterprise software, mostly around Microsoft Dynamics NAV / Business Central. I've worked across development, technical consulting, solution architecture, product and engineering leadership, including leading a ~15-person BC engineering team.
My particular niche is the ugly boundary between business systems and software architecture: deciding what should remain standard ERP behaviour, what deserves custom code, designing integration-heavy systems, untangling legacy implementations, performance work, and stopping twenty years of accumulated technical debt from being faithfully recreated in the cloud.
More recently I've been working heavily with AI-assisted engineering and exploring how LLMs, agents, formal specifications and MCP-style interfaces can change the way enterprise software is designed and maintained. I'm building projects around AI + ERP, including tooling for Business Central and a Lean-based formal model of ERP/accounting behaviour.
I'm looking for Staff/Principal/Architect-level work where deep enterprise systems knowledge is useful rather than embarrassing: Enterprise AI, applied AI for business software, ERP/platform architecture, developer tooling, or technically serious Business Central architecture.
I don't need the next job to be "a Dynamics job." In fact, the interesting problem for me is taking two decades of experience with complex, stateful, business-critical systems and applying it to what we're building next.
