Services
Nine things we do properly
Each is scoped in weeks with a stated outcome. If your problem sits outside these, say so on the call — a referral is a better result than a stretched engagement.
CI/CD Pipeline Design & Implementation
Turn a slow, flaky pipeline into one that finishes in minutes and that engineers trust enough to deploy on a Friday.
- Build and deploy times measured, then cut
- One deployment path per service, not five
- Rollback that has actually been tested
Cloud Architecture & Migration Advisory
Design a cloud footprint that fits the team you actually have, and plan the migration in steps that can each be reversed.
- A target architecture with the trade-offs written down
- Migration sequenced so each step is reversible
- Landing zone, networking and IAM boundaries defined
Kubernetes Platform Engineering
Make Kubernetes a platform your developers can self-serve, instead of a system only one person understands.
- Cluster topology and upgrade path documented
- Resource requests and limits based on real usage
- Developer self-service without cluster-admin access
Observability — Metrics, Traces & Logs
Make the three signals work together, so an incident ends with a cause rather than a guess — and so the platform bill stops growing faster than traffic.
- Alerts tied to user impact, not raw thresholds
- Traces that reach the actual slow dependency
- Log and metric retention costed deliberately
GitOps & Developer Workflow Modernization
Make the repository the source of truth, so that what is deployed and what is reviewed are the same thing.
- Declared state in git, reconciled automatically
- Drift visible instead of discovered during an incident
- A branching and review model the team will follow
Cloud Cost Optimization
A cost review that produces specific changes with named owners, not a spreadsheet of theoretical savings.
- Spend attributed to teams and services
- Immediate cuts separated from structural ones
- Guardrails so the savings do not erode
Multi-Account AWS Governance
Bring order to an AWS estate spread across many accounts — who can do what, how traffic crosses boundaries, and where the spend actually lands.
- Account structure and OU layout documented
- Cross-account networking and IAM boundaries defined
- Guardrails enforced as policy, not convention
Disaster Recovery & Resilience
Build a recovery path that has actually been exercised, with recovery targets you can put in front of an auditor or a client.
- RTO and RPO defined per service, then measured
- Failover automated and exercised, not documented and hoped for
- Runbooks your on-call can follow at 3am
Pipeline & Supply Chain Security
Put the security controls where the code already flows, so issues surface at merge time instead of in a penetration test report six months later.
- Code and dependency scanning gating the pipeline
- Artifacts versioned, scanned and traceable to a commit
- Secrets out of repositories and CI variables
