Contact

I'm available for DevOps and platform engineering work — both short-term engagements and longer projects.

What I Can Help With

  • Cloud infrastructure — AWS architecture, cost reviews, security hardening, multi-account setups
  • Kubernetes — cluster setup and operations, EKS, platform engineering, developer experience
  • GitOps and CI/CD — ArgoCD, Flux, GitHub Actions, deployment pipelines that don't require a ceremony to run
  • Terraform and IaC — from greenfield to migrating a patchwork of hand-crafted resources into a proper state
  • Observability — Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, distributed tracing, alerting that doesn't cry wolf
  • Migrations — moving from legacy VMs to containers, from one cloud to another, from "it works on my machine" to reproducible builds
  • Full-stack development — when the infra work also involves application code (Node.js, Python, Go, React)

Engagement Models

  • Short consulting — a few days to review your setup, identify gaps, and give you a concrete action list
  • Project-based — a defined piece of work with a clear outcome: a new cluster, a CI/CD pipeline, a migration plan delivered
  • Ongoing advisory or embedded — working as part of your team on a retainer, useful when you need someone who can respond and iterate

I work well with small engineering teams, technical founders, and CTOs who want a pragmatic engineer rather than a slide deck.
