Software Engineer & Advisor
I’m a freelance engineer focused on cloud infrastructure and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). Since 2007, I’ve worked across systems engineering, backend development and production operations, combining hands-on work with technical leadership.
Consulting & training
- Infrastructure & SRE
Cloud infrastructure, from bare metal to AWS and Google Cloud: Linux, Kubernetes and Terraform. I work alongside your team on migrations, observability and incident response, keeping legacy systems and backend services reliable while they change.
- Advisory & fractional roles
Technical due diligence for acquisitions, platform and architecture reviews, ISO audits and CMMI assessments. Fractional technical roles, supporting CTOs and other C-level stakeholders on technical risk and priorities.
- Training & mentoring
Workshops, mentoring and team coaching on infrastructure, reliability, delivery and testing. Practical sessions built around the problems engineers face in their daily work.
Talks & conversations
