The engagement

How we work together.

01 / AUDIT

Diagnostic Audit

Deep dive into existing cloud spending, CI/CD bottlenecks, security posture, and infrastructure drift to produce a clear gap analysis.

02 / BLUEPRINT

Architecture Design

Production-grade blueprint detailing immutable infrastructure, cost targets, and milestone roadmaps with zero disruption to daily shipping.

03 / EXECUTION

Hands-On Delivery

Direct implementation of declarative OpenTofu code, container orchestration, monitoring baselines, and verified staging rollouts.

04 / HANDOVER

Runbooks & Coaching

Comprehensive developer runbooks, architecture decision records (ADRs), and internal engineering coaching.

Why this practice

The engineering advantage.

01

Direct Senior Access

Zero middle management, no junior handoffs; you work directly with a senior platform engineer who writes, reviews, and deploys every line of code.

02

Sovereignty & Self-Hosting

Avoid runaway cloud fees and proprietary SaaS lock-in; built on open-source, reproducible foundations (OpenTofu, Talos, n8n, PostgreSQL).

03

Production-Hardened Reliability

GitOps-codified infrastructure with automated testing, rollback mechanisms, and zero-trust security from day one.

Questions, answered

Technical questions, answered directly.

How quickly can we start an engagement?

Most architecture audits and discovery sprints can kick off within 3–5 business days following an initial alignment call and scoping agreement.

Do you work alongside our existing engineering team?

Yes. Engagements are collaborative: integration into existing Slack, GitHub, or GitLab workflows, pair programming sessions, and comprehensive runbooks.

Which clouds and hosting platforms do you support?

Primary expertise includes AWS, Google Cloud, and bare-metal providers (Hetzner, OVH, Proxmox). Multi-cloud and hybrid migrations are a core specialization.

How are projects priced?

Diagnostic audits and migration sprints are fixed-price. Ongoing maintenance is a monthly fractional retainer. Detailed rates are on the pricing page.

Have a hard system problem?

Bring the messy version.

We can start with a 15-minute conversation and a shared map of what is actually happening.
