Do you feel you are paying too much on AWS? Many companies overspend on AWS without realising it. In fact, it’s common for businesses to waste 20–30% of their monthly cloud spend through idle resources, oversized infrastructure, and missed optimisation opportunities. I help companies reduce AWS costs without compromising performance, reliability, or scalability. Whether you’re a startup trying to extend runway or an established business looking to improve operational efficiency, I can identify practical savings opportunities and implement them safely. How I Help Reduce AWS Costs: * Identify unused, orphaned, or unnecessary AWS resources * Rightsize underutilised EC2, RDS, and container workloads * Optimise compute costs with Reserved Instances and Savings Plans * Upgrade legacy infrastructure to newer, more cost-efficient services * Implement autoscaling and scheduling to eliminate idle spend * Analyse unexpected cost spikes and billing anomalies * Improve observability and cost visibility across environments * Recommend architecture improvements for long-term savings * Implement FinOps best practices to give you more visibility and control over your spending I focus on practical optimisation — not risky shortcuts. The goal is to lower costs while keeping your systems stable, secure, and performant. Why Clients Work With Me: * Deep AWS, Kubernetes and DevOps expertise * Strong communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders * Thorough, detail-oriented approach * Proven experience with enterprises, scale-ups, and startups * Genuine ownership from investigation through implementation Client Testimonials: “Fabrice is thoughtful and thorough. He dives into a problem and doesn't let go until he understands the problem and implements a perfect solution. He doesn't stop when the solution appears to work well for common cases; he proceeds to account for edge cases and rare situations. He provides useful code review comments. He understands the culture and stated goals of the project, and is willing to push back and ask questions when he observes others behave at odds with the culture and goals.” — David Miller, ArkCase Architect “Fabrice is certainly a DevOps expert. He clearly communicated both high-level and low-level concepts and met needs exactly as desired. Highly recommended.” — Cody Fitzpatrick, Orbital One “Excellent communication was a big selling point. He truly owned the project from start to completion.” — Jeremie Delaitre, Syrp I have delivered successful projects for organisations including: * NatWest Bank * Armedia * Starcoders * Early-stage startups * Medium-sized businesses I'm fully insured for Professional Indemnity and Public Liability. If you’re concerned your AWS bill is higher than it should be, I can help you identify where the money is going and implement effective cost reductions.

Your AWS bill is growing faster than your revenue. Deployments take too long. Your infrastructure wasn't built to handle what you're throwing at it now. Sound familiar? I'm Nouman, a Certified AWS Cloud Architect with 7+ years of hands-on experience building production infrastructure that scales without breaking the bank. I've helped companies reduce their cloud spend by up to 40% while actually improving reliability and deployment speed. What I do best: → AWS Cost Optimization: I audit your infrastructure, kill waste, right-size resources, and implement Reserved Instance and Savings Plan strategies. Most clients see 30-40% savings within the first month. → Cloud Architecture & Migration: I design and build multi-cloud environments on AWS and Azure that are secure, scalable, and don't require a dedicated team to maintain. → Kubernetes & Containers: Private EKS and AKS clusters with GitOps workflows (ArgoCD, Karpenter, Terragrunt). Your team deploys with confidence, not anxiety. → CI/CD Pipelines: End-to-end automation with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Azure DevOps. I've cut deployment cycles from hours to minutes for multiple clients. → Infrastructure as Code: Everything in Terraform and Terragrunt. Reproducible, version-controlled, and auditable. No more snowflake servers. Recent results: Optimized a multi-tenant AWS environment, cutting monthly spend by ~35% while improving uptime Built private Kubernetes clusters (EKS/AKS) serving production workloads with zero-downtime deployments Automated infrastructure provisioning that reduced environment setup from days to under an hour Implemented security and compliance frameworks (HashiCorp Vault, SonarQube, Trivy) for regulated industries How I work: I communicate clearly, respond fast, and treat every project like a partnership.
