Fixing cost chaos.De-risking infrastructure.
I work with companies whose AWS environments grew faster than their governance, and with Software Factories who need a white-label AWS partner to secure enterprise accounts and de-risk their delivery.
Cost, modernization, and high availability.
They look technical, but most of the time they're governance and prioritization problems wearing technical clothes.
FinOps & Cost Optimization
Finding what's been overspent for reasons no one remembers, and making sure it doesn't happen again. Full spend analysis, resource inventory, Savings Plan modeling, and tagging assessment.
Legacy Modernization
Moving from rigid systems to architectures that can change without ceremony. Phased, never big-bang. Your team understands every decision before we build.
High-Availability Design
Replacing inherited resilience with resilience that's actually designed for the business cost of downtime. Multi-region, fault-tolerant, documented.
Security & Compliance
IAM review, network exposure, encryption posture, Well-Architected alignment. Auditors and cyber insurers want documented controls, not assurances that it's 'probably fine.'
A structured assessment. Defined scope. Defined deliverable.
Fixed scope. Fixed price. Independent.
Every engagement starts with a structured assessment. We audit cost, security, and architectural posture, then deliver a written report with severity-rated findings and a prioritized remediation roadmap. If the broader project doesn't make sense, that's the answer I'll give.
Cost Analysis
Full AWS spend analysis and resource inventory. Identification of unused, idle, and over-provisioned resources. Reserved Instance and Savings Plan modeling. Tagging and cost allocation assessment.
Security & Compliance Review
IAM users, roles, policies, and MFA review. Network exposure and security group drift. Encryption at rest and in transit. Well-Architected Security Pillar alignment.
Architecture & Reliability Audit
Logging and monitoring coverage. Backup and disaster recovery posture. Single points of failure and scaling readiness. Documented controls suitable for audit evidence.
AWS environments that grew faster than their governance.
Bills that surprise
Unmanaged spend accumulates waste. Unused resources, over-provisioned instances, forgotten snapshots. Every quarter without governance erodes margin and trust.
Architectures that resist change
Legacy systems that were built to work, not to evolve. Every modification is a risk, every migration stalls, and the team avoids touching what they don't fully understand.
Resilience that depends on hope
No documented failover, no tested recovery, no designed availability. The system works until it doesn't, and nobody knows the business cost of that downtime.
Internal teams lack the dedicated capacity
Your engineers know the problem exists but don't have the dedicated time or independent cloud engineering expertise to fix it. They're shipping features, not governing infrastructure.

Four deliverables. Yours to keep and share.
Executive Summary
A short, decision-ready document explaining where the AWS environment stands, the highest risks, and the recommended sequence of action. Written for non-technical stakeholders.
Severity-Rated Findings Register
Every finding documented with evidence, severity rating (Critical / High / Medium / Low), affected resource, and remediation guidance. The artifact your engineering team will work from.
Prioritized Remediation Roadmap
A sequenced plan with estimated effort and projected savings or risk reduction. Execute internally, engage us to deliver, or move into ongoing governance. No obligation to go further.
Findings Readout
A live walk-through of the findings with your team. Q&A, contextual discussion, and the opportunity to challenge priorities before you act on them. Included in the engagement.
Ready when you are.
Tell me about your AWS environment and what's not working the way it should. I work as an external partner or white-label ally, not a vendor. Independent advice and a partnership approach, from day one.
