Infrastructure that ships.
Bills that make sense.
I build production CI/CD pipelines, AI systems and cloud architectures — flat $49/hour. No retainers, no subcontractors, no minimums. I start within 48 hours.

Selected Work
Real production systems. Every number is from a shipped engagement.
Automated CI/CD for B2B SaaS
Manual deployments took 2 engineers 4+ hours per release. Bi-weekly releases out of pure risk aversion.
Production RAG for Healthcare
50,000+ medical documents needed to be searchable for clinicians. Keyword search was useless and off-the-shelf RAG blew the latency budget.
Kubernetes Migration for Fintech
30+ microservices on fragile EC2 — weekly incidents, manual scaling, risky deploys. Zero-downtime migration required.
Infrastructure Cost Optimization
$82K monthly cloud bill growing 15% MoM. No tagging, no cost allocation, no guardrails — nobody knew where the money went.

From hello to production in days, not weeks.

What Clients Say
“Raphael rebuilt our entire deploy pipeline in three weeks. We went from dreading releases to shipping daily. Worth every dollar of the $49.”
“Our RAG prototype was stuck for months. He got it to production — fast, accurate, and it held up in front of our investors on demo day.”
“He cut our AWS bill by 40% without breaking a single thing. The engagement paid for itself in the first month.”
