Story
DeltaArc didn’t start with a business plan or a big lightbulb moment. It came from years of working in environments that were trying to modernise but didn’t always have the structure, governance, or clarity needed to make it work. I kept seeing the same issues repeat. Microsoft 365 deployed but not governed. Azure workloads running without a Landing Zone. Devices half managed. Security added later because no one had the time earlier. After a while it became clear that there was a gap for a consultancy that actually understood how to build things properly.
The more I worked on these problems, the more obvious it became that this was the work I enjoyed most. The architecture. The planning. The security posture. Turning a messy environment into something stable, predictable, and safe. That was the point where the idea for DeltaArc stopped being something in the background and started becoming something real.
There were a few reasons that finally pushed me to make the jump.
I was seeing consistently that organisations were missing the fundamentals. They thought they had a modern cloud environment, but underneath it was a mess - no properly defined Azure structure, Intune policies were not being fully enforced, identity and access controls worked in theory but not in practice - I knew I could fix this and actually make a difference.
I also wanted the freedom to build solutions the right way. If I was going to be putting my name to something, it needed to be solid. No shortcuts. No rushed deployments that become a problem three months later. It has to be built to last, not built to get out the door.
Finally, and probably most importantly, I wanted to grow something for the long term. A consultancy that can stand on its own. Not a hobby, not weekend work, but a business with real value behind it that could one day be handed on to my children.
The name came together fairly naturally. Delta represents change and progression. Arc represents structure and direction. Put the two together and you get a clear picture of how I like to approach architecture. Understand where things are today, set a sensible path forward, and follow it with purpose rather than trial and error.
There is also a small personal nod in there. I have always been a sci fi fan, especially Star Trek, and the idea of deltas, arcs, trajectories, and planned courses has always appealed to me. It is not the theme of the business, but it is a quiet reference to something I enjoy and a reminder that exploration and improvement go hand in hand.
I have built this business around a few principles that guide how I work.
No jargon for the sake of it. Clients should always know what is happening and why. Clear communication removes confusion, speeds up decisions, and builds trust. If something cannot be explained simply, it probably has not been designed properly.
Being ex-military, security to me is not a marketing buzzword. It is a discipline. It is something that is built in from the start, not bolted on later because someone realised a gap. A secure environment is a predictable one, and predictability is what lets organisations work confidently.
Good architecture comes from solid patterns and repeatable decisions. When things are consistent, they are easier to support, easier to improve, and far less likely to break. Consistency is what turns a cloud environment from fragile to stable.
I do not want to do half a job and disappear. If I am working with you, it should make a genuine difference. Partnership means being present, listening properly, and sticking around long enough to see the outcome delivered the way it was intended.
This is the start of DeltaArc, not the finish line. The plan is to share practical insights, lessons from real projects, and guidance that helps organisations modernise without the usual drama. I want this to be useful. Straightforward. Something people can take and apply immediately.
If you are here because you are interested in the journey or thinking about working together, you are very welcome. DeltaArc is up and running, and I am genuinely excited to see where it goes from here.
