What I Do
Infrastructure & software expertise, without the overhead of a full team.
You get a senior Amazon-trained engineer as your dedicated technical partner - not an agency, not a junior freelancer. Whether you need cloud infrastructure or a full app built, I deliver.
AWS Infrastructure & Architecture
From Elastic Beanstalk to CDK, I design and manage cloud architectures that scale with your business. Solutions Architect Professional certified.
CI/CD & DevOps Pipelines
Automated deployments, zero-downtime releases, and robust pipelines. DevOps Engineer Professional certified to keep your team shipping fast.
Cost Optimization
I audit your AWS spend and eliminate waste. At every engagement, I actively reduce cloud costs while maintaining - or improving - performance.
Migration & Modernization
Legacy systems holding you back? I migrate infrastructure to modern, maintainable stacks - CDK, Docker, Kubernetes - with zero business disruption.
App Development
Need to build or ship a product? I work with a small team to design, build, and deploy full-stack applications - from MVP to production.
