Digital public infrastructure

Architecture authority on national-scale digital public infrastructure. Romania flagship: ePassport, eVignette, eHealth, eCadastre, eNotar — citizen-facing platforms in production. DPI advisory across 39 countries in Europe and worldwide.

Mandate type

Architecture of record for sovereign digital services and cross-border identity, with delivery exposed to regulators, parliamentary oversight and donor scrutiny (EU, UN, IFI). Engagement window 6–36 months against a ministry, IFI programme office or institutional CIO.

Anchor reference

Romania DPI portfolio — ePassport, eVignette, eHealth, eCadastre, eNotar in production at national scale. Plus UN HQ: 120,000-user institutional platforms with 95% workforce coverage. EU eIDAS 910/2014 framework contract; EURODAC; ENISA national-cyber-strategy framework.

What I do

Four offers recur on sovereign and cross-border DPI work. Each is structured for transparency to regulators, parliamentary committees and IFI donors.

  • Sovereign DPI architecture of record. Identity, e-services, health and land registry: target-state, reference architecture, ADRs. Used in production by Romania and replicated across 11+ sovereign governments for ePassport / eID.
  • Cross-border DPI advisory. Architecture support for DPI programmes across 39 countries — Europe and worldwide. Interoperability, identity federation, evidence trails.
  • Programme governance to donor standards. World Bank ID4D, UNDP, UNOPS, EU framework contracts. Programme reporting, control evidence and audit-readiness aligned to donor frameworks.
  • Citizen-platform operations. Move services from procurement and build into operation. SLA, continuity, audit and incident discipline.

Frameworks and standards applied

Methods are scoped, not decorative. Each mandate runs against a defined framework stack so decisions remain defensible to internal audit, external supervisors and donors.

  • DPI standards: eIDAS (EU 910/2014) · ISO/IEC 24760 (identity) · X.509 PKI · ICAO Doc 9303 (ePassport) · OAuth / OIDC
  • Architecture & governance: TOGAF · COBIT · ArchiMate · ADRs
  • Risk, control & audit: ISO 27001 · ISO 22301 · NIST CSF · GDPR · national supervisory frameworks
  • Programme & donor: World Bank ID4D · UNDP rules · UNOPS rules · EU procurement · MSP
  • Delivery: PRINCE2 / PMI · Agile · ITIL

Sovereign DPI succeeds when identity, citizen services, registry and supervision are treated as one architecture — and when the architect of record can defend every design decision to a regulator, parliamentary committee or IFI donor.
