About Barry X
From early DOS and Clipper days to AI and blockchain architecture, I sit between business and engineering and turn ideas into systems that run every day.
For more than two decades I’ve been designing and managing systems across retail, logistics, fintech and F&B, writing code as well as leading architecture and process design.
I enjoy working with environments that are 'half-legacy, half-modern': a mix of spreadsheets, old databases and manual workflows, alongside the desire to adopt AI and cloud tools. My job is to turn that mess into clear data structures, APIs and automations that AI can safely interact with.
Today I work with founders, managers and technical teams to design AI-friendly architecture, and to train people so they can own and evolve their systems.
