I Help Solve Business Problems with Software

With over 20 years of experience in software engineering, I help businesses modernise legacy systems, streamline their processes, optimise delivery, and build scalable, high-quality systems. As a Technical Consultant, I collaborate closely with clients to solve complex technical challenges, providing strategic insights and hands-on expertise to drive successful software outcomes.

About Me

I’m Andy Weir, a Technical Consultant specialising in software architecture, secure delivery, and engineering effectiveness. I help organisations modernise platforms, improve flow, and build systems that scale, without losing sight of outcomes.

I’ve spent 20+ years in software engineering across diverse industries, including healthtech, retail, travel, and oil and gas. I help teams connect technical decisions to real business needs, working directly with the people who build and run the software.

Outside work, you’ll find me racing a small yacht, paddle-boarding the Cornish coast, or reading something nerdy.

Experience

In my current role, I help clients modernise legacy systems, streamline delivery processes, and build maintainable software that supports their long-term goals.

Modernising Legacy Systems

I’ve led projects to break down fragile monoliths into scalable microservices, using incremental migration patterns that reduce risk and maintain continuity.

Optimising Software Delivery

I help teams improve feedback loops, automate quality gates, and reduce delivery friction — often introducing CI/CD practices that improve flow and reduce failure rates.

Aligning Engineering with Outcomes

I work with developers, stakeholders, and leadership to clarify goals, prioritise technical investments, and build software that delivers lasting value.

Approach

My work focuses on making engineering effective — not just technically sound, but also safe, scalable, and aligned with business goals. I help teams modernise systems, simplify delivery, and build software that works in the real world.

Digital Transformation

I support teams through high-stakes change — evolving architecture, addressing technical debt, and making systems easier to maintain, adapt, and scale.

Outcome-Driven Delivery

My work focuses on outcomes, not outputs. I help teams identify what success looks like and adapt architecture, process, and practice to achieve it.

Deep Technical Foundations

From backend APIs to deployment pipelines, I draw on broad technical experience and strong design principles to help teams build software that lasts.

Personal Interests – Yacht Racing

I’m the owner and skipper of Bad Habits, a Hydro 28 yacht raced out of Flushing Sailing Club. Leading a crew of five, I enjoy the competitive and strategic side of sailing — balancing teamwork, navigation, and technical skills. It sharpens my decision-making both on and off the water.
