What I offer
Senior AWS DevOps — on demand
Production-grade infrastructure without the full-time hire. I help startups and scale-ups ship faster, safer, and cheaper on AWS.
Core Services
Hands-on consulting across the full DevOps stack — from containers to cost optimization.
Cluster setup, autoscaling with Karpenter and KEDA, Helm chart management, network policies, and GitOps pipelines on AWS EKS.
Modular, DRY Terraform with Terragrunt for AWS — VPC, RDS, EKS, S3, IAM, CloudFront and more. Version-controlled, reviewable infrastructure.
GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Bitbucket Pipelines, AWS CodePipeline — fast, reliable delivery pipelines with GitOps principles baked in.
Rightsizing, Spot strategy, Reserved Instances, S3 lifecycle policies, Karpenter consolidation — real savings without cutting reliability.
Prometheus, Grafana, Elasticsearch, Kibana, CloudWatch — full-stack observability with dashboards and alerts that fire before your users notice.
IAM least-privilege, KMS encryption, SSM secrets management, VPN access, VPC design — secure-by-default infrastructure from day one.
Kubernetes & EKS
Production-ready container orchestration on AWS
Cluster setup & networking
EKS clusters with VPC CNI, Ingress controllers, and network policies configured for production workloads.
Intelligent autoscaling
Karpenter for node provisioning and KEDA for event-driven pod scaling — your cluster scales exactly what it needs, when it needs it.
GitOps with ArgoCD
Declarative, Git-driven deployments. Every change is auditable, rollbacks are instant, and drift is automatically corrected.
Helm chart management
Custom Helm charts for your services and managed third-party charts for the rest — consistent, repeatable deployments.
CI/CD & Automation
From commit to production — automatically
GitHub Actions pipelines
Build, test, scan, and deploy on every push. Parallel jobs, caching, and environment gates for safe progressive delivery.
Code quality gates
SonarCloud integration blocks merges on quality or security regressions — tech debt stays manageable from day one.
Docker image management
Multi-stage builds, image scanning, and ECR lifecycle policies — lean, secure images in production.
Blue/green & rolling deployments
Zero-downtime deployment strategies with automated rollback — ship confidently any time of day.
Engagement Models
Pick the model that fits your team and stage.
Free AWS Audit
A 60-minute review of your AWS architecture, CI/CD setup, costs, and security posture. You get a written report with prioritised findings — no commitment required.
Project-Based
Fixed scope, fixed timeline. Ideal for a specific deliverable — EKS migration, Terraform refactor, CI/CD build-out, or observability stack.
Monthly Retainer
Ongoing DevOps support for your team. I handle infrastructure changes, incident support, reviews, and architecture decisions on a recurring basis.
DevOps Embedding
I join your team as a fractional Senior DevOps — attending standups, reviewing PRs, pairing with engineers. All the value of a senior hire without the overhead.
What to expect
A transparent, low-friction process from first contact to production.
Free AWS Audit
I review your current setup — AWS costs, architecture, CI/CD, and security. You get a concrete report with findings and prioritised recommendations.
Proposal & Scope
Clear deliverables, timeline, and pricing. No vague retainers or open-ended commitments unless that's what you need.
Hands-On Implementation
I work directly in your codebase and AWS account — writing Terraform, wiring pipelines, tuning clusters. I collaborate async-first via GitHub, Slack, or your existing tools.
Handover & Support
Everything is documented and reviewed with your team. I stay available for questions and can continue as an ongoing partner if needed.
