Consulting

19 years building reliable, scalable systems

I help engineering teams ship reliable platforms and put AI into production — safely, measurably, and without runaway costs.

Available for advisory, hands-on build, and fractional engagements.

How I Can Help

Three Pillars

SRE & Reliability

Designing systems for 99.99%+ uptime with proper SLOs, observability, and incident response.

  • SLOs, error budgets & reliability strategy
  • Observability with Prometheus & Grafana (incl. custom exporters)
  • Incident response & on-call design
  • Zero-downtime deployments & hot config reload
  • Kubernetes & cloud-native architecture reviews

Four-nines uptime targets; zero-downtime config reload that eliminated 20-minute rolling restarts

Platform Engineering & DevEx

Internal developer platforms, golden paths, GitOps and shared libraries that eliminate toil.

  • Internal developer platforms & golden-path scaffolders
  • GitOps (ArgoCD) and reusable Helm chart libraries
  • CI/CD pipelines & GitHub automation tooling
  • Cloud cost optimization / FinOps (KEDA scale-to-zero, smart autoscaling)
  • Shared SDKs & libraries that standardize delivery

Award-winning autoscaling; ~18% compute cost reductions; scaffolders that bootstrap new services in minutes

AI Engineering

Putting LLMs and agents into production safely and cost-effectively — with banking-grade guardrails.

  • LLM integration architecture (AWS Bedrock, Claude, Spring AI)
  • MCP & agentic tooling — servers, clients, tool-calling orchestration
  • AI cost optimization — prompt caching, model fallback, extended context
  • AI developer tooling — automated code review, doc generation, scaffolding
  • AI readiness & guardrails — security, governance, RBAC/SSO

20–35% AI cost reductions via prompt caching; 90%+ cache hit rates; multi-provider fallback

Ways To Work Together

Engagement Models

01

Advisory

Architecture reviews, audits, and strategy. Short, fixed-scope engagements to unblock decisions and set direction.

02

Hands-on Build

Embedded delivery of a specific system or tooling — from reliability work to a production AI integration.

03

Fractional Architect

Ongoing fractional SRE / Platform / AI architect support to level up a team over time.
