Services

I work with startups and engineering teams on focused engagements — from infrastructure audits to full platform builds. All work is scoped upfront with clear deliverables.

Cloud Infrastructure & Architecture

AWS-first infrastructure designed to scale without surprising you.

I design and build cloud infrastructure that's reliable, secure, and cost-conscious. My background is primarily in AWS, and much of it in regulated industries where getting the architecture right the first time isn't optional. I handle everything from initial design through implementation.

  • AWS architecture: VPCs, EKS, EMR, S3, IAM, and beyond
  • Network design: subnets, peering, security groups, private connectivity
  • IAM design and least-privilege access control
  • Security and compliance-aware architecture for regulated environments
  • Cloud landing zone setup and governance

Platform Engineering & Developer Experience

Internal platforms that make engineering teams faster.

The best platform is one developers don't have to think about. I've spent years owning platforms used by data and engineering teams in regulated environments — building the abstractions and tooling that let them move fast without needing deep infrastructure knowledge.

  • Data platform and data lake infrastructure on AWS
  • Internal developer platform (IDP) design and build
  • Self-service infrastructure provisioning
  • Golden path templates and standardized environments
  • Developer experience improvements for platform-heavy teams

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform and CDK — infrastructure you can review, version, and trust.

I write IaC that's maintainable, modular, and well-documented. I also inherit and clean up existing IaC that's grown organically and become fragile. Every change goes through code review, not the console.

  • Terraform module design, refactoring, and best practices
  • AWS CDK for AWS-native stacks in Python
  • State management, remote backends, and workspace strategy
  • Drift detection and remediation
  • IaC security scanning and compliance guardrails

Kubernetes & Container Orchestration

Clusters you can actually operate at 2am.

I set up and harden Kubernetes clusters and establish the operational practices that make them manageable long-term. My primary focus is EKS on AWS, and I hold the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) certification. I also migrate workloads from VMs or bare containers into Kubernetes when it makes sense.

  • EKS cluster setup, hardening, and day-2 operations
  • Helm chart authoring and management
  • GitOps with ArgoCD
  • RBAC, network policies, and pod security standards
  • Workload migration and containerization

CI/CD Pipeline Design & Implementation

Deployments that are boring by design.

Fast, safe, automated deployments are a force multiplier for engineering teams. I design and build CI/CD pipelines that are reliable, easy to debug, and don't require tribal knowledge to operate — using the tools your team already uses or the ones that fit best.

  • GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Harness pipelines
  • Container build, scan, and publish pipelines
  • Progressive delivery: canary, blue/green, feature flags
  • Environment promotion and release management strategies
  • Secrets management and pipeline security controls

Cloud Cost Optimization & FinOps

Spend what your infrastructure is worth, not more.

Cloud bills grow quietly. I audit your infrastructure spend, identify waste and over-provisioning, and implement controls that prevent costs from running away again — without sacrificing reliability.

  • Cost audit and rightsizing analysis
  • Reserved instance and savings plan strategy
  • Spot instance and preemptible node usage
  • Tagging taxonomy and cost allocation
  • Alerting and budget guardrails
