The architecture as a career.

Seven years drawn as a single diagram. Scroll, and the platform I have built across roles assembles itself — the scale, the stack, the receipts.

§ 02

The stack I actually use.

Production tools, picked for what they do under load — not what they win on a slide deck. The manifest, not the pitch.

Three ways to work together.

Productised engagements with sharp scope, real deliverables, and an exit plan your team can run after I leave. Start with the call.

PDPL ready01 / Sprint

AWS Foundation Sprint

Launch on AWS with a production-grade landing zone and EKS cluster — in four weeks, not four months.

  • +Multi-account AWS Organisation with SCP guardrails — security baseline from day one
  • +EKS cluster with Karpenter + KEDA — pay only for the compute you actually use
  • +Terraform / Terragrunt baseline and CI/CD scaffold your team can extend
  • +Observability built in: Prometheus, Grafana, Fluentbit — no blind spots
  • +Optional PDPL-compliant variant for KSA-resident workloads
02 / Migration

GitOps Migration

Move from Jenkins and legacy CD onto ArgoCD + Helm — zero downtime, full audit trail, your engineers in the driver's seat.

  • +Audit of existing pipelines, environments, and configuration drift
  • +ArgoCD + Argo Rollouts deployed and hardened for your scale
  • +Per-service Helm chart conversion — up to 25 services
  • +Progressive delivery: canary and blue-green policies, configured per workload
  • +Engineer training and runbook handover — your team owns it after week six
03 / Retainer

Platform Retainer

Senior platform engineering on tap, embedded with your team. Available the week after the call.

  • +Weekly synchronous time with your platform team
  • +Architecture reviews, RCA support, on-call shadowing during incidents
  • +Slack / written async throughout the working week — no waiting
  • +Quarterly platform health and AWS cost report with concrete actions
  • +First refusal on production incidents — usually online within the hour

Tell me what you are building.

Booking

A fifteen-minute call. No slides, no sales pitch — just enough time to understand the problem and tell you honestly whether I am the right hand for it.
