Independent Cloud & DevOps Consultant

Solve the infrastructure problems slowing down your engineering team.

I help growing SaaS engineering teams solve production infrastructure, cloud cost, reliability and software delivery problems through focused, defined-outcome consulting projects.

Problems I help solve

Clear problems. Measurable outcomes.

Each project is scoped around a specific problem, desired outcome and your environment, rather than providing ongoing engineering capacity.

Cloud Cost Optimisation

Cloud costs are growing unexpectedly

Identify what is driving unnecessary spend, implement priority improvements and establish better cost visibility and control.

Infrastructure Reliability

Reliability issues are consuming engineering time

Identify production risks and improve availability, observability, recovery and scalability so your infrastructure stays reliable as usage grows.

CI/CD & Deployment Improvement

Deployments are slow or fragile

Diagnose release bottlenecks and make deployments faster, safer and more repeatable.

Infrastructure Automation & IaC

Provisioning and infrastructure changes take too much manual effort

Standardise and automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration and environment changes so deployments are repeatable, auditable and easier to maintain.

Cloud Architecture & Modernisation

Infrastructure is not keeping pace with growth

Redesign or migrate infrastructure that has become difficult to scale, operate or maintain, with security, resilience and compliance requirements built into the architecture.

Infrastructure Diagnostic & Remediation

The symptoms are clear, but the root cause is not

Diagnose the problem, identify root causes, prioritise improvements and implement the agreed remediation.

How I work

Focused consulting around an agreed outcome.

The aim is to understand what needs to improve, find the root cause and deliver the changes that create the most value.

01

Understand

We discuss the symptoms, context and business or engineering impact.

02

Diagnose

I review the relevant infrastructure, architecture, cloud environment or delivery process.

03

Define

We agree the project scope, desired outcome, deliverables and success criteria.

04

Deliver

I implement the agreed improvements and measure the resulting change.

Start with the problem

Have an infrastructure problem that needs solving?

Tell me briefly what is happening. We can determine whether it makes sense to turn it into a focused consulting project.
