Cloud migration
Rehost, replatform or refactor to AWS and Azure with a week-by-week cutover plan, rollback cover and zero-surprise billing.
About Me
Cloud Architect based in Austin, working worldwide
Turning tangled infrastructure into calm platforms
For nine years I have helped SaaS companies, retailers and fintech teams move to the cloud without downtime drama. My work covers landing zones, network design, Kubernetes, serverless, data pipelines and the guardrails — security, cost and observability — that keep them healthy after launch.

What I do
Four services that cover the full journey from first assessment to a platform your team owns.
Kubernetes platforms
Production-grade EKS and AKS clusters with GitOps, autoscaling, policy guardrails and paved-road onboarding for developers.
Serverless & automation
Event-driven systems, IaC with Terraform and Bicep, and CI/CD pipelines that take a commit to production in minutes.
Security & FinOps
Zero-trust baselines, CIS benchmarks, backup and DR drills, plus cost dashboards that cut spend by 20–40%.
