I turn infrastructure chaos into reliable, fast, cost-efficient platforms. Your team ships features — not fights fires.

I Solve Real Business Pain Points

Cloud bills out of control?

20%+ sustained reductions via right-sizing, spot/preemptible, logging optimization & CastAI.

Releases too slow/risky?

GitOps (ArgoCD), reusable GitHub Actions pipelines, zero-downtime deploys → hundreds/month cadence.

PRs & reviews bottlenecking?

Gemini AI-assisted automation + shift-left security → 30% faster turnaround.

Too many 3 AM pages?

Prometheus/Grafana observability, SLOs, structured logging, runbooks → proactive reliability.

Multi-cloud or legacy mess?

Terraform IaC, GKE/AKS/EKS hardening, Istio, Workload Identity secrets.

Platform feels like a gatekeeper?

Developer-first self-service: Helm, reusable templates, reduced toil.

Key Impact

Small Business Tech Advisory

No dedicated IT team? No problem. I help small businesses cut wasted spend, automate the repetitive, and build just enough tech foundation to grow without chaos.

Tech & SaaS Spend Audit

Identify redundant tools, unused licenses, and bloated subscriptions. Most small teams can cut 20–30% from their software bills in a single review.

Workflow Automation

Replace manual, repetitive tasks with lightweight automation — data entry, reporting, notifications, approvals. Your team's time is better spent elsewhere.

AI Tooling Adoption

Cut through the hype and find where AI actually saves your team time — Copilot, Claude, automation pipelines — and build the habits to use them well.

Security Hygiene

MFA everywhere, password management, access controls, backups that actually work. The basics that small teams skip until something goes wrong.

Cloud Foundations

Moving off shared hosting, setting up reliable backups, or right-sizing your first cloud environment — done right from the start so you don't rebuild it later.

Tech Roadmap Advisory

Not sure what to build, buy, or fix next? I help you prioritize tech decisions based on business impact — so you invest where it actually moves the needle.
