Services

Four ways to work together, depending on where you are and what you need.

For Startups Building in Regulated Environments

Embedded Technical Leadership

Your fractional Solutions Architect and DevOps Lead

$120-$160/hr | 10-20 hours/week | Minimum 3 months

I embed with your team as a part-time technical leader. I design your cloud architecture, build and manage your infrastructure, implement CI/CD pipelines, and handle security and compliance. You get a senior engineer in your Slack and your standups without the $200K+ full-time salary.

Best for:

Funded startups building their product who need infrastructure leadership but aren't ready for a full-time hire.

What's included:

AWS cloud architecture design and implementation
CI/CD pipeline setup and management (GitHub Actions, etc.)
Infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation)
Security controls and compliance implementation (CJIS, FedRAMP, SOC 2, HIPAA)
Monitoring, alerting, and incident response setup
Team mentorship and architecture decision-making

Cloud Infrastructure Buildout

Your entire cloud environment, designed and built

$10,000-$30,000 | 4-8 weeks

I design and build your AWS infrastructure from the ground up. VPC architecture, IAM policies, networking, CI/CD pipeline, monitoring, security controls, and compliance baseline. Everything documented and handed off so your team can maintain it.

Best for:

Startups that need their infrastructure built right the first time before hiring their own DevOps team.

What's included:

Full AWS environment architecture and deployment
Network design (VPC, subnets, security groups, NAT)
Identity and access management (IAM policies and roles)
CI/CD pipeline configuration
Logging, monitoring, and alerting
Security baseline and compliance controls
Complete documentation and team handoff

Architecture Review and Compliance Readiness

Know exactly where you stand before your audit

$4,500-$8,000 | 2 weeks

I review your existing cloud infrastructure and give you a clear picture: what's working, what's exposed, and what needs to change before your compliance audit or government contract pursuit. Delivered as a prioritized 90-day remediation plan.

Best for:

Startups preparing for SOC 2, HIPAA, CJIS, or FedRAMP audits. Companies pursuing government contracts.

What's included:

Full cloud infrastructure security assessment
Compliance gap analysis against target framework
Cost optimization review
Scalability and architecture review
Prioritized 90-day remediation roadmap
Executive summary for leadership/board

For SMBs Integrating AI Into Operations

AI Workflow Architecture and Integration

AI tools that actually connect to how your business runs

Starting at $3,000 | Audit through full implementation

Most businesses are experimenting with AI in scattered, ad-hoc ways. Individual employees using different tools, no integration with existing systems, no security policy around company data. I assess your current AI usage, design a coherent integration strategy, and build the actual workflows that connect AI tools to your CRM, email, project management, and internal processes.

Best for:

SMBs with 10-100 employees who want to move from experimenting with AI to systematically using it across operations.

What's included:

AI workflow audit and opportunity assessment
Custom automation builds (n8n, API integrations)
Private AI tool setup for data-sensitive environments
Custom AI assistants and internal tools
Security policies and data governance for AI usage
Team training and adoption support
Integration with existing business systems

Frequently Asked Questions

I join your Slack, attend standups when relevant, and work 10-20 hours per week on your infrastructure. Think of me as your part-time CTO for cloud and DevOps. I bill hourly and send weekly summaries of what I worked on.

That's what the Infrastructure Buildout is for. I design and build everything, document it, and hand it off. If you need ongoing support after that, we can discuss an embedded engagement.

It depends on scope. The Architecture Review is accessible for most early-stage companies. For embedded leadership, I typically work with funded startups that have budget for infrastructure investment.

CJIS, FedRAMP, SOC 2, HIPAA, CMMC, and NIST 800-53. If you're pursuing government contracts or handling sensitive data, I've likely worked in your compliance environment before.
