01 / what I do

Platforms, end to end

Design, build, secure and support. The same person from the architecture document to the on-call handover.

    • Azure
    • Terraform
    • GCP
    • GitHub Actions

    01

    Cloud infrastructure

    Design, provision and support platforms on AWS and Azure with Infrastructure as Code, so environments are repeatable and auditable.

    • VPCs and VNets, DNS, IAM, storage and compute laid out from a written design
    • Terraform for provisioning, GitHub Actions for validation and deployment
    • Security models and documentation that survive the handover

    Linux and automation

    Enterprise Linux run as a managed fleet: standard builds, patch windows, hardening and configuration kept in code.

    • RHEL, Rocky and Ubuntu builds from standard images and hardened baselines
    • Ansible roles and shell automation for configuration, patching and drift remediation
    • SELinux kept enforcing, with denials diagnosed rather than switched off

    Kubernetes and platforms

    Container platforms and data-science tooling deployed, secured and kept observable, on managed Kubernetes or on VMs.

    • EKS, AKS and GKE clusters with Docker-based workloads and clear ownership
    • Posit Team (Workbench, Connect, Package Manager) on cloud and on premises
    • Prometheus, Grafana and CloudWatch so problems are seen before users report them

Working session

60 min · $100

Architecture review, troubleshooting, or an implementation plan, live.

  • Architecture review of an AWS, Azure, Linux or Kubernetes platform
  • Live troubleshooting of a production issue, with the root cause explained
