How I work
Week one ends with the drawing for your system; I stay reachable after handover.
Architecture review, cost baseline, risks — and the diagram, for your system.
Terraform modules, environments, CI/CD with plan/apply gates.
EKS/ECS, RDS, networking, right-sizing, monitoring.
Security and compliance controls, runbooks, pairing with your team.
Services
Infrastructure that slows the company down — and what I do about it.
| The situation | What I do | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| Deploys take hours and someone has to babysit them | Terraform + CI/CD, environments as code (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline) | hours → minutes · −95% manual steps |
| Moving to AWS — or out of a mess on AWS | Landing zone, migration plan, cut-over with rollback | zero-downtime cut-over |
| The AWS bill grows faster than the company | Right-sizing, savings plans, architecture fixes, cost governance | −30…50% monthly |
| Healthcare or fintech: auditors are coming | HIPAA / PCI-DSS controls: encryption, IAM, logging, access | audit-ready, documented |
| Kubernetes that only one person understands | EKS / ECS / Fargate platform, observability, runbooks | a platform your team can run |
| Nobody knows what runs where | Inventory, infrastructure as code, monitoring (CloudWatch, Datadog, New Relic, ELK) | visibility · alerts that matter |
Results
Head of Infrastructure
Nationwide platform that had to be HIPAA-compliant across regions. Landing zone, encryption and access controls, Terraform, monitoring.

VP Engineering
DevOps practice had stalled and the bill was out of proportion. Pipeline rebuild, right-sizing, cost governance.
“Transformed our entire DevOps practice. The AWS cost optimization alone saved us 40% monthly while improving performance.”
−40% monthly · faster deploys
CTO
Fortune 500 clients and hours-long deploys. Migration cut-over, EKS and CodePipeline automation.

hours → minutes · 300% faster deployments
Also: enterprise manufacturing (aerospace & automotive PLM/CAD, −60% release cycles) · cybersecurity platforms (10,000+ endpoints) · insurance and fintech (cloud-native rebuilds of legacy systems).
Credentials
Open source · built by me
The tool I wish every client team had: AWS SSM tunnels to RDS — and to VNC, RDP and SSH behind the bastion — credentials on demand, single sign-on. Free, MIT-licensed, macOS · Linux.
