I help platform engineers fix infrastructure bottlenecks that slow down product releases

Book a session

I help growing software companies make their infrastructure more reliable, automate deployments, and give developers more time to build their products.

I offer DevOps consulting and fractional infrastructure leadership for teams that need experienced technical ownership without hiring a full-time infrastructure leader.

My background spans software engineering and director-level infrastructure leadership, with hands-on experience in CI/CD, Linux administration, database replication, and monitoring. Recent work includes replacing manual deployment processes with automated GitLab pipelines and establishing monitoring and observability across 100% of our systems.

I’m looking to connect with founders, CTOs, and engineering leaders dealing with deployment bottlenecks, infrastructure reliability issues, or growing operational demands. I’m open to focused projects, infrastructure assessments, and ongoing partnerships—as well as connections with complementary consultants.

Infrastructure Decision Session

For founders or engineering leaders facing a specific technical choice: whether to migrate hosting, automate a process, adopt a managed service, or bring in infrastructure help. During the call we'll clarify the decision, compare realistic options, and weigh cost, complexity, reliability, and team capacity. You will leave with a recommended direction, the main tradeoffs, and the next steps needed to move forward.

Monitoring & Alerting Review

For teams that discover problems through customer complaints, struggle to diagnose failures, or receive too many unhelpful alerts. During the call we'll review monitoring for one application or service, discuss what failures matter, and identify missing signals or noisy alerts. You will leave with a prioritized list of what to monitor, what should trigger an alert, and what to investigate first.

1 hour$150.00
Deployment & CI/CD Review

For teams whose releases involve manual steps, fragile pipelines, or uncertainty about rollbacks. During the call we'll walk through one application’s deployment process, identify bottlenecks, and recommend where to automate first. You will leave with three prioritized improvements and a practical next step toward safer, more repeatable releases.
