You don't have to pay for the expensive technical lessons yourself. I've learned many of them the hard way – building my own IT product businesses, making painful architecture calls, losing time and money on the wrong ones, and shipping under real pressure.

I help founders ship production AI systems without burning months on the wrong architecture. Fractional CTO / AI Architect / Cloud Architect with 16+ years, two exits, and hands-on delivery across LLM, RAG, recommendations, agents, backend and AWS/serverless cloud.

The best first step is usually not a huge rewrite. It's a short CTO-level audit or a small production sprint that proves the riskiest assumption fast.

Tell me what you're trying to build and I'll give you a concrete first step: what I'd build first, what I'd avoid, and where the hidden complexity is.

    AWS Cost Reduction Specialist Aleksei exceeded our expectations. He quickly analyzed our AWS infrastructure, identified the biggest cost drivers, and implemented practical optimizations that reduced our server costs by more than 50% without disrupting production. Beyond the immediate savings, he provided valuable architectural feedback and identified potential scalability issues before they became problems.

    I would confidently recommend Aleksei not only as a DevOps engineer, but also as a CTO or Tech Lead. He has a rare ability to understand both the technical details and the bigger business picture, make sound architectural decisions, and execute them efficiently. Excellent communication, strong leadership, and deep technical expertise. We'd be happy to work with him again.
