Typical starting points
- Your AWS bill grew faster than the business and nobody can say why.
- A regulator, an auditor or a big customer just asked how fast you could recover — and you don't like your answer.
- You have millions of documents and a deadline; the manual plan takes years.
- You're about to re-platform, go multi-region or go serverless and want someone who has done it to check the design first.
- You need a senior architect two days a week, not another hire you can't fill.
Engagements
Architecture review
A written assessment of one system or the whole estate — security posture, resilience, scalability, operability and cost — with a prioritised fix list your team can start on next sprint. Fixed scope, read-only access, one to three weeks.
AWS cost audit
Where the bill goes, what is waste, what is a design choice, and a plan to bring it down without taking a risk the business hasn't priced. Fixed scope, one to two weeks. We do not promise a percentage before we have looked.
AI & intelligent document processing
Design — or a POC-to-production plan — for ingesting, classifying and extracting from documents at scale on Amazon Bedrock, SageMaker and serverless building blocks: throughput, cost per document, human review, data residency. The same pattern that, in a client engagement, classified 70M+ financial documents in two weeks against an estimated seven-year manual timeline.
Disaster recovery & regulatory readiness
Recovery objectives you can defend, a DR pattern chosen for the actual risk (pilot light, warm standby, active-active), runbooks, a tested failover — and the ICT-resilience evidence your regulator and auditors ask for.
Fractional cloud architect
A senior architect a few days a month: design reviews, CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code standards, security guardrails, and coaching your engineers so the capability stays with you when the engagement ends.
Engagements are scoped and quoted individually after a first conversation. Fixed-scope work is quoted as a whole; ongoing work by the day.
