About Carl

I assess technology, identify what's broken, and build the roadmap to fix it. If you're modernising legacy systems, evaluating whether AI actually
fits your operations, or need someone to tell you what your cloud infrastructure is really costing you, I bring an operator's perspective — not
theory.

My background is hands-on: I ran automation and commercial operations for a GPU cloud provider with a 13,000+ GPU fleet across European data
centres, built blockchain ecosystem strategy for Fuse Network, and managed global operations programmes at Burberry, Samsung, and Google. I know
what infrastructure looks like when it works and when it doesn't.

What I typically deliver:
- Technology assessments and architecture reviews
- AI readiness evaluations and automation roadmaps
- Cloud and compute infrastructure strategy
- Software modernisation scoping and vendor evaluation
- Technology due diligence for acquisitions

I work best when the question is "should we build, buy, or fix this?" and the answer needs to come from someone who has actually operated the
systems being evaluated. Based in London, available for UK and European engagements.
