Principal-level serverless and cloud architecture for teams building on AWS.

I help engineering teams design, fix, migrate, and scale serverless/cloud-native systems - including AI-enabled workloads - with a focus on architecture clarity, reliability, deployment strategy, and developer productivity.

Serverless should simplify your platform, not turn into distributed chaos.

These are the issues I see engineering teams struggle with most - and the ones that compound into expensive outages, slow delivery, and team frustration.

Lambda sprawl with no clear service boundaries
Fragile deployments that break unpredictably
Unreliable event-driven workflows
Poor observability across distributed services
High and unpredictable AWS costs
Unclear ownership between teams
Security and IAM complexity growing unchecked
Difficult local testing and brittle CI/CD
Migrations that stall halfway through

How I help

Focused engagements designed for teams that need senior architecture guidance - not another vendor pitch.

Serverless Architecture Audit

A focused review of your serverless/cloud architecture to identify structural risks, reliability issues, cost problems, and deployment weaknesses.

Best for: Teams running serverless in production that need an outside senior review.

Typical engagement: 1–3 weeks
