Frequently Asked Questions
What makes your approach different?
I focus on practical, cost-effective solutions rather than over-engineering. Every recommendation is backed by real-world experience and considers your budget, team capabilities, and business goals.
Do you work with startups or only enterprises?
I work with businesses of all sizes. My approach scales based on your stage - from helping startups make smart initial architecture decisions to optimizing complex enterprise infrastructure.
Can you help if we already have a cloud team?
Absolutely. I often work alongside existing teams to provide specialized expertise, conduct architecture reviews, or supplement capacity during critical projects.
What if we need ongoing support after a project?
I offer flexible retainer arrangements for ongoing support, optimization, and consulting. We can structure this based on your needs and budget.
Do you only work with AWS?
My primary expertise is AWS, where I'm certified and have deep experience. However, many architectural principles apply across cloud providers, and I can advise on multi-cloud strategies.
How do we get started?
Simply reach out via the contact form or email. We'll schedule a discovery call to discuss your needs, and I'll provide a proposal if there's a good fit.
