Senior cloud and .NET architecture consulting — from strategy to production, without the enterprise overhead.
Start a conversation What we doHands-on architecture leadership for teams that need senior judgment, not junior hours.
Azure, AWS, and GCP landing zones, migrations, and multi-cloud strategy — designed for how your team actually operates.
Legacy .NET platforms evolved strategically — modular monoliths, service extraction, cloud-native patterns — without the risky big-bang rewrite.
Kubernetes platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and enterprise SSO integration that cut time-to-production from weeks to hours.
Fractional architecture leadership: assessments, roadmaps, and build-vs-buy decisions grounded in production reality.
One senior architect, accountable end to end.
Dave Milner is a principal-level architect working through his own corporation — available for contract engagements on a W2 or 1099 basis. His lane is enterprise .NET and cloud architecture: the systems other people call "legacy" and the platforms teams are trying to build next.
Recent work includes cutting a bank's time-to-production from 15 days to 24 hours across four datacenters and two clouds, standing up a 14-microservice Kubernetes platform with enterprise SSO for a Fortune 100, and evolving entrenched .NET platforms instead of rewriting them.
