Consulting

Cloud & SRE

20+ years building and operating infrastructure at Amazon, AWS, Uber, Twitter, and Meta. I help startups build reliable systems without over-engineering.

Currently a founding engineer at Tensor9, building multi-cloud deployment infrastructure for air-gapped and on-premises environments.

What I Do

Cloud Architecture Review

Audit your AWS, GCP, or Azure setup. Identify cost optimization opportunities, security gaps, and reliability risks. Concrete recommendations, not generic best practices.

Infrastructure Design

Design infrastructure that scales with your business. Kubernetes, ECS, Lambda - whatever fits your team and workload. Terraform, Pulumi, or CDK depending on your stack.

Reliability Engineering

SLOs, error budgets, incident response, on-call rotations. Build reliability practices that work for a 10-person team, not a 10,000-person company.

Migration & Modernization

Move from Heroku to AWS. Containerize legacy apps. Adopt Kubernetes without the complexity. Incremental migrations that don't break production.

Team Enablement

Level up your engineering team on cloud and infrastructure. Code reviews, pairing sessions, architecture discussions. Build internal capability, not dependency.
