Advisory
I help teams make high-stakes platform decisions
I take on a small number of engagements with teams facing tough platform and database decisions.
What you get
- A straight answer on which approach holds up in production, backed by two decades of doing this.
- Real benchmarks and evidence behind the recommendation.
- A repeatable method your team owns and can run themselves.
Where I help
- Migrate & modernize: move databases and platforms, lift legacy systems to the cloud, and consolidate, with a safe path to roll back if needed.
- Cut cost & improve performance: evaluate Graviton/ARM64, rightsize, and optimize cost, proven with real numbers.
- Run & architect operations: set up on-call, incident, and reliability practices, and review the riskiest decisions before they reach production.
How engagements work
We start with a short assessment of where things stand. From there I give you a clear decision or a proven method to run with. I work fractional or by the project, whichever fits what you're dealing with.
