Cloud & DevOps
Cloud architecture on AWS and GCP, migrations, failover across regions, and the pipelines and observability that keep it all running. Automated, observable and reproducible, from first commit to production.
Cloud You Can Run, Audit and Afford
Good infrastructure lets every engineer ship with confidence. We design cloud platforms on AWS and GCP that are reproducible, observable and sized for the workload: fast pipelines, a backup ready to take over, automated rollbacks, and monitoring that tells you what's wrong before your users do.
A backup that’s ready to take over. Primary and backup sites in separate regions or data centres, with failover that’s tested, not assumed. Our founder ran Yahoo Finance’s market data this way, across its global data centres.
Event-driven, so one slow part doesn’t stall the rest. Services talk through queues and event buses such as Amazon EventBridge and SQS, and each can fail and recover on its own.
Everything as code, nothing manual. Infrastructure, pipelines, and config are version-controlled and reproducible. Runbooks are for edge cases, not routine deployments.
Ship fast, recover faster. We design deployment pipelines with automated rollbacks, canary releases, and feature flags so a bad deploy never means a long outage.
Observability built in, not bolted on. Every service we deploy ships with structured logs, distributed traces, and metrics dashboards configured from day one.
Security at every layer. Secrets management, least-privilege IAM policies, container hardening, and network policies — security posture is designed in, not reviewed in at the end.

Cloud & DevOps Specialisations
Nine practice areas, from cloud architecture and failover to the pipelines that ship to it.
Cloud Architecture
Cloud environments sized for the workload and designed for cost, reliability and security from the start, then reviewed so the bill and the risk don't drift.
VPC design · IAM policies · Landing zones · Cost reviews · Rightsizing
Cloud Migration
Moving systems from your own servers to the cloud, or between AWS and GCP, one service at a time, with the old and new running side by side until the switch is safe.
Migration plan · Data moves · Parallel running · Cut-over · Rollback plan
Failover & Disaster Recovery
Primary and backup sites in separate regions or data centres, kept in step and tested regularly, so a regional outage is a switch-over, not a shutdown. Built for market data and payments, where downtime is visible at once.
Multi-region design · Replication · Health checks · Failover drills · Recovery runbooks
Event-Driven Cloud Services
Services that talk through event buses and queues instead of calling each other directly, so a slow or failed part retries on its own and never holds up the rest.
Event routing · Queues · Retries · Dead-letter queues · Idempotent handlers
CI/CD Pipelines
Fast, reliable pipelines that run tests, build artefacts, and deploy to production without manual steps. We design for fast feedback and zero-downtime rollouts as the default.
Build pipelines · Automated testing · Staged deployments · Rollback automation · Canary releases
Kubernetes Orchestration
Cluster design, workload configuration, autoscaling, and day-2 operations for teams moving to Kubernetes or trying to get more out of clusters they already run.
Cluster setup · Helm charts · HPA/KEDA · Network policies · Multi-tenancy · Cost management
Infrastructure as Code
Every cloud resource defined, versioned, and reviewed in code. We design IaC modules for reusability across environments and migrate teams from ClickOps to reproducible infrastructure.
Terraform modules · State management · Drift detection · Multi-environment promotion
Observability Platforms
Structured logging, distributed tracing, and metrics dashboards configured before code goes to production — not as a post-incident action item. We wire OpenTelemetry across every service we touch.
Metrics · Distributed tracing · Log aggregation · Alerting · SLO dashboards
DevSecOps
Security controls embedded in the pipeline: container image scanning, SAST in CI, secrets management with Vault, and least-privilege IAM policies enforced as code — not a compliance checkbox.
Secrets management · SAST/DAST · Image hardening · Policy as code · Audit logging
