Cloud, Platform, DevOps & Backend Engineering
I help companies migrate infrastructure, automate software delivery, and build reliable backend systems - from cloud platforms and Kubernetes to APIs, databases, monitoring and disaster recovery.
How I can help
Cloud and platform engineering
Infrastructure your team can reproduce and operate.
Plan migrations, remove single points of failure, and build maintainable cloud or private platforms with infrastructure as code.
Cloud and platform servicesDevOps, automation and reliability
Repeatable releases and a clear recovery path.
Automate delivery, make failures visible with useful monitoring, and prepare backups and recovery procedures before you need them.
DevOps and reliability servicesBackend engineering
Backend systems built for day-to-day operation.
Build APIs, services and integrations with the databases, deployment automation and observability needed to run them.
Backend engineering servicesPrivate cloud and self-hosting
Control over your data, with operations you can maintain.
Build self-hosted services with encryption, controlled access, automated backups and documented recovery procedures.
Private cloud and self-hosting servicesPublic engineering labs
Published examples of my approach to development environments and application delivery.
Local Kubernetes with TLS
A public development lab using Kind and HTTPS endpoints with certificate validation. It brings development closer to production without reproducing every production constraint.
Containerizing a web application
A public learning project packaging a Perl and PostgreSQL application for local Kubernetes, with build pipelines and documented production readiness gaps. The pipelines did not include deployment.
Secure, regulated and air-gapped environments Link to heading
My recent work has focused on platforms where security, compliance and restricted connectivity shape the architecture. Across these services, I work with GitOps, configuration as code and reproducible delivery without depending on unrestricted internet access or external SaaS services.
Engineering within these constraints
How I work Link to heading
I start with the problem, the systems you already run, and the constraints your team works within. We agree on a practical scope and what a successful result looks like. I work hands-on through implementation, with automation and documentation that help your team own the result.
