My work as an operational architect

I turn fragmented operations into one coherent system.

I work alongside membership organisations to understand how people, records and decisions fit together, then design, build and support the software they depend on.

I use artificial intelligence (AI) to help me deliver faster. I remain responsible for the design, testing and decisions that affect the organisation.

My work in practice

I build and support AGCRA's operational platform.

I work with the Adjutant General’s Corps Regimental Association (AGCRA), a U.S. Army professional association, across membership, awards, events and day-to-day administration.

Nikos is an IT expert who is very responsive, ensuring that the myriad non-profit missions are supported with an exemplary IT system.
After just one session detailing the intent of integrating different platforms and streamlining our workflow processes, Nikos was able to quickly formulate and present a significantly improved and detailed plan.

I attended AGCRA’s National Ball to see my event-planning, floor-planning and ticket-checking tools in use, and hear directly from staff and guests. Read what I learned at the event →

How I help

I start by understanding the operation.

I map the operation.

I start with a paid review of the people, records and handoffs behind the problem. I identify the risks and recommend what to change first.

I design the system.

I define how information, responsibilities and approvals fit together, with a delivery plan and clear checks for success.

I build and support it.

I deliver in agreed stages, check the system in use and document how it works. I agree ongoing support and changes separately.

How I think

I write about the architecture, delivery, and technical judgement behind my work.
