As an independent cloud architect, I can help your business: * Plan your cloud strategy * Design and build secure, scalable cloud infrastructure * Find and fix security vulnerabilities * Reduce cloud spending I do this by addressing high value and high risk priorities first, planning and delivering concrete milestones on time, and supporting you going forward. I'm a dirty-hands technical guy but I'm also a veteran business founder, so I understand that your business runs on more than technology. Security intersects everything I do, from business continuity to change management, identity management, disaster recovery, monitoring and more. Most of my clients are smaller or medium businesses, so I see many environments in transition. Often companies slide into consuming cloud resources in a not-so strategic way, starting with a small project, then another, etc., and it can get out of hand with spending too much and security issues. Amazon/Azure/Google encourage this sort of “spending creep” - it serves the cloud providers very well, but a lot of businesses are overdue for a re-think of their cloud environments. Usually, I first take a high-level view of where you stand, whether you are planning to transition services to a cloud platform or already in it, and identify low-hanging fruit to save money, bolt down security, and automate everyday tasks. My initial consultation is FREE, and I can deliver valuable insight in just a few hours. Then I plan a longer-term roadmap to accommodate your business’ growth, in which the underlying cloud infrastructure will not slow down or break down over time. Container orchestration with Kubernetes or ECS is a particular focus of my work. A lot of companies have a proliferation of ad hoc servers and could benefit from consolidating with containers, but lack the skills in-house. I can help you modernize with containers, scale up and save money. With me, there’s never a salesperson trying to up-sell services, and I don’t delegate your work to a junior engineer. I work with you personally and take personal responsibility for everything I do today and in the future. I also document and check-in everything I do, so you can always share it with your team or other service providers. I tend to get involved for a few weeks to a few months to realize concrete deliverables, then stay involved on an as-needed basis for support. Cost-wise, I can guarantee that my services will be less expensive than a big consultancy with a fancy website, and also less expensive than a full-time in-house cloud architect. Geographically, I live in Philadelphia and work from my own office. I time-track everything I do, push all my work to your Git repository, and usually am available on a video call within an hour or two. With decades of experience in engineering teams, critical data-centers, start-ups and consulting, you can count on me to provide straightforward, pragmatic advice, solve high-priority problems promptly and deliver quality. Top references from current satisfied customers are available. Hands-on with Kubernetes, Docker, Python, Terraform/CloudFormation, Git, Linux, security, security and more security. Recent projects: - HIPAA compliant health care app on AWS ECS - Kubernetes architecture and implementation for a "smart laboratory" SaaS application - Security assessment for a government contractor - Serverless architecture for an IoT application - API integration with a major energy provider - Kubernetes migration for a machine learning application - AWS autoscaling infrastructure for a hotel management platform - Technical design for clinical trials data for an international pharma company - AWS cost analysis and 50% cost reduction for an energy trading platform
