Services
Engagements built for senior IC accountability — without the cost of a full-time hire.
Four core ways I work with engineering leaders. Mix and match as needed.
01
Fractional AWS Reliability Lead
Ongoing retainer
A senior AWS practitioner in the seat for ongoing production reliability. The role your team needs but can't justify hiring full-time.
What's included
- → Weekly architecture review and operational risk assessment
- → Vendor-shipped infrastructure release gatekeeping
- → Production incident escalation and post-mortem ownership
- → Observability and alerting design
- → Cross-team senior escalation availability
02
AWS Production Audit
Fixed-scope project
A senior-level production reliability assessment of your AWS environment with a remediation roadmap your team can execute against.
What's included
- → End-to-end production risk assessment
- → Cloud cost analysis identifying significant recoverable waste
- → Architecture diagram and gap analysis
- → Prioritized remediation roadmap with effort estimates
- → Executive summary for leadership and engineering plan for the team
03
Vendor Technical Oversight
Multi-month project
For companies running mission-critical AWS infrastructure built and shipped by a vendor. I sit on your side of the table, technically.
What's included
- → Vendor release gatekeeping (typically monthly cadence)
- → AWS CDK and IaC review with vendor-skeptic discipline
- → Pre-production remediation coordination
- → Vendor performance accountability framework
- → Production architecture for downstream consumers
04
Strategic Cloud Advisory
Light retainer
Senior cloud architecture counsel on retainer. Monthly check-ins, ad-hoc advisory, decision review for engineering leaders.
What's included

- → Decision review on major AWS architecture choices
- → Quarterly cloud strategy alignment
