Is your AWS bill climbing to $30K+/month with database throttling or mysterious orphaned resources costing thousands? Is your production platform stuck on legacy VPS infrastructure while every migration quote is $50K+ and 3 months away? Do you need HIPAA compliance or SOC2 certification because investors are demanding audit readiness before your Series A? If you said yes to at least one of these questions, you are at the right place! Hi! I’m Jaime. AWS Solutions Architect specializing in emergency cost optimization, rapid cloud migrations, and compliance under deadline for SaaS, insurance, fintech, and healthcare companies.
