Where I can help

Something in production is fragile, expensive or slow to change, and your team is too busy keeping it alive to fix it. I take that part off your hands.

Case studies

Two I'm allowed to talk about

Fintech / B2B

Financial SaaS platform scale-out

A fintech SaaS moving millions of transactions was still shipping its monolith through a system nobody trusted. I rebuilt it as a hub-and-spoke ArgoCD setup on AKS — environments properly isolated, Git the only thing allowed to change state.

Retail / SaaS

Multi-region e-commerce failover

The question was simple: what happens if an entire region goes away? I built the answer. Terraform and Crossplane provision an identical standby environment, so losing a regional control plane costs you minutes instead of data.

What I can take on

01

One path to production

Every change reaches production the same way — through Git, reviewed and easy to undo. Rebuilding an environment becomes one command, not an afternoon of digging through old chat threads.

02

An office platform your company owns

Files, documents, a searchable archive, a wiki and one login — on a server in the EU or in your office. Backed up nightly, monitored, and rebuildable from code, so it outlives any one admin.

Kubernetes that stops surprising you

Clusters that stop waking people up: predictable scaling, access rules that actually restrict something, nothing custom that isn't needed. The test is whether you'd deploy on a Friday.

Finding out where the money goes

A smaller cloud bill. I read yours line by line, right-size what is oversized, move what can tolerate it onto cheaper capacity, and unpick lock-in premiums. One client saved 30%.

Knowing before your users do

You hear about problems before your users do. Alerts only for what matters, dashboards that answer the question you have mid-incident, and security checks in every deploy.

Leaving the subscriptions

Off Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or an old office server — in stages, while the company keeps working. First a three-year cost comparison; if staying is cheaper, I'll tell you.

From first look to long-term care

Start at any step.

  1. Audit & plan →

    What's genuinely urgent, each fix costed over three years.

  2. Build & migration

    One goal delivered in stages, while the company keeps working.

  3. Ongoing care

    Updates, monitoring and tested backups — an IT lead on call.

Not sure which one fits?

Describe the bottleneck. If I'm not the right person for it, I'll say so.
