Need project-saving triage in an IT department? Digital transformation that actually moves a P&L? Across financial services, healthcare, and retail, Brent Arias has the battle-hardened experience to turn the ship — and now the agentic toolchain to do it faster than the market expects.
As a hands-on Chief Architect, Brent maps the technology and the process, engages directly with stakeholders and technical leads, and writes and reviews code alongside his agents. Specs are treated as source of truth, tests as guardrails, and AI as a force multiplier — not a substitute for judgment. The deliverable is software a senior engineer would be proud to own, produced at a pace that used to be impossible.
Contact Brent!Spec-driven development with Claude Code, OpenSpec, MCP-based tooling, and Playwright-verified changes. Large refactors, greenfield services, and platform work delivered at multiples of hand-coded pace — reviewed and owned by a senior engineer.
Data-center analysis and sizing, cost projections, platform selection (serverless, SaaS, PaaS, Kubernetes) and implementation. BC/DR design, landing zones, and Infrastructure as Code — scaffolded and hardened with agentic workflows.
Elastic computation design, load and performance testing, and maintainable coding practices that hold up under growth. Bottlenecks profiled, fixes specified, and regressions fenced off with automated checks.
Refactoring monoliths for containers, PaaS, or microservices. Database migration to cloud-native storage. Legacy codebases brought forward with agent-assisted refactors that are reviewable, test-covered, and safe to deploy.
EAI, ODS, and data-lake design and build-out. Telemetry and high-volume, event-driven processing. Pipelines specified, generated, and hardened with agentic tooling — so data platforms ship in weeks, not quarters.
Security-by-design and privacy-by-design. IAM design and configuration. SIEM/SOAR instrumentation. Encryption in transit and at rest. Controls expressed as code and kept in sync with a living spec.
Operations and business-strategy reinvention. Organizational alignment and education. Technology selection and roll-out — with a clear path from strategy to shipped software, not a deck that dies on a shelf.
Performance and test automation. Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Pipeline as code. Ephemeral test environments. Pipelines that agents can read, extend, and debug alongside your team.
From whiteboard to production — for enterprises that take both seriously.
