Shipping Shouldn’t Be a War-Room Event

CI/CD pipelines that deploy 50+ times a day. Kubernetes that never wakes you at 3 AM. I build the infrastructure that makes your engineering team unstoppable.

Sound Familiar?

The problems I solve every week.

Deployments Are a Nightmare

Manual releases take hours, rollbacks cause outages, and your team dreads deploy days.

Your Pipeline Holds You Back

Slow builds, flaky tests, no staging parity — every commit feels like a gamble.

Kubernetes Is Crushing You

Cluster upgrades break things, cost is spiraling, and nobody owns the infrastructure.

Results That Speak

Real metrics from real engagements.

How I Work

From first call to production — no bureaucracy, no hand-offs.

1

Free audit & scope

We start with a short call. I dig into your current setup, find the real bottleneck, and scope the work with an honest timeline — no commitment, no pitch.

2

Start within 48 hours

Once scope is agreed I start shipping — flat $49/hr, no retainer, no minimum. You see progress from day one, tracked transparently.

3

Ship & handoff

Production-grade systems with runbooks, monitoring and knowledge transfer. You own everything and you’re never left stranded.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you handle CI/CD across different stacks?

I’ve built pipelines for Node, Python, Go, Java and .NET — monorepo and multi-repo. I pick the right tool (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD) and bake in artifact management, caching and security scanning.

What does a Kubernetes engagement look like?

We start with a cluster audit — version, networking, security, utilization. Then I design the target architecture, migrate workloads with a zero-downtime strangler-fig pattern, and set up GitOps with ArgoCD. Runbooks and knowledge transfer throughout.

Can you optimize infra without downtime?

Always. Blue-green deploys, canary releases and traffic splitting make every change incremental. Every migration has a rollback plan and is tested in staging first.
