AWS/Azure Cloud Architect | Cost Reduction, Kubernetes, SOC2 Readiness
I help regulated businesses and high-growth technology teams build secure, scalable cloud systems and bring infrastructure costs back in line with actual usage. With expertise across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes, alongside 14 years architecting and integrating enterprise ERP and CRM platforms including Microsoft Dynamics 365, Salesforce, HubSpot, Oracle NetSuite, and SAP, I deliver infrastructure and business systems built for production load, not demo load, audit-ready for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR standards. What I deliver for your business: Cloud Architecture and Migration: Planning and migrating existing workloads to high-availability multi-cloud environments. Enterprise Systems Integration: Architecting and integrating ERP and CRM platforms, including Dynamics 365, Salesforce, HubSpot, NetSuite, and SAP, across tier 1 and tier 2 deployments spanning multiple industry sectors. Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Designing clean, modular Terraform configurations for policy-based resource provisioning. Container Orchestration: Deploying and managing Kubernetes platform infrastructure, observability, and release pipelines. DevSecOps Hardening: Implementing access controls, firewall constraints, and securing CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins). Cost Optimization: Conducting cloud billing audits, setting up budget alerts, and removing resource waste. Dynamics 365 in particular runs on Azure and Dataverse, so the enterprise systems work and the cloud architecture work aren't two separate practices. They inform each other directly, the platform your business runs on, and the infrastructure underneath it. You work directly with me on architecture and delivery. I do not hand your project to a junior. If your project requires cloud architecture, Kubernetes, cost optimization, or ERP and CRM systems work, let's connect to discuss your requirements. 1 person in their team

Description I integrate AI capabilities into infrastructure I already manage, rather than building AI products from scratch. My own site runs a chat application built natively on Cloudflare Workers AI, calling models directly with no external API dependency, backed by R2 for storage and D1 as the data layer. If you need a generative AI feature added to an existing application, deployed on infrastructure I can also secure and maintain, that's the work. This is infrastructure-level AI integration specifically, not conversational AI product design or chatbot strategy consulting.Skills in Artificial Intelligence (17) AI DevelopmentBot DevelopmentChatbot DevelopmentAI MarketingArtificial IntelligenceAI AlgorithmAI ExpertiseAI ResearchChat BotArtificial Intelligence Law+7

This is the same technical foundation as my Website Creation and Administration services, listed separately here for WooCommerce and online payment work specifically. I work in WooCommerce and WordPress-based commerce. Shopify, Magento, and other platforms are outside this scope.Skills in E-commerce (21) E-commerceeCommerce ConsultingeCommerce DevelopmentE-Commerce HostingeCommerce SEOeCommerce Web DevelopmentEcommerceEcommerce SolutionseCommerce DesignEcommerce Hosting+11
Learn more about E-commerceDescription I design and build production-grade cloud infrastructure on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, for regulated businesses and high-growth technology teams that cannot afford downtime or a failed audit. Everything is delivered as version-controlled infrastructure as code, primarily Terraform, rather than console configuration that only works until someone forgets why it was set up that way. This covers full architecture design and migration, multi-account landing zones, Kubernetes platform engineering, and cloud cost optimization audits that identify exactly where spend is going and what it would take to reduce it. Security and cost discipline are built into the design from the first resource, not retrofitted afterward: least-privilege access, encryption at rest and in transit, centralized logging, and a monthly cost estimate before anything is created. Work is delivered directly by me, not handed to a delivery team you never speak with.Skills in Cloud Consulting (19) AWS ConsultingAzure ConsultingCloud ConsultingGoogle Cloud ConsultingCloud SecurityCloud ArchitectureCloud ComputingSaaS Strategy ConsultingJumpCloudMicrosoft Azure+9
Learn more about Cloud ConsultingDescription My software development work sits inside infrastructure and delivery: Terraform modules, deployment automation, CI/CD pipeline engineering, and the scripts and workflows that move code from a repository into production safely and repeatably. This is Agile-run automation and infrastructure-as-code work specifically, not custom application or product development. If your team needs the delivery pipeline and automation layer built or repaired, that's where this fits.Skills in Software Development (21) eCommerce DevelopmentJava DevelopmentJoomla DevelopmentMagento DevelopmentOffshore Software DevelopmentShopify DevelopmentSoftware DevelopmenteCommerce Web DevelopmentPHP DevelopmentCustom Software Development+11
Learn more about Software DevelopmentDescription I help regulated businesses prepare their cloud infrastructure for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 technical requirements, and secure the email infrastructure that sits underneath every phishing and domain-spoofing risk. This covers cloud security architecture (IAM policy design, network segmentation, encryption, and logging), technical readiness assessments ahead of a formal compliance audit, and email authentication, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, configured correctly and rolled out in staged enforcement so legitimate mail is never blocked in the process. This is infrastructure and compliance security specifically, not network hardware consulting or penetration testing, and I'll tell you plainly if a request falls outside that scope rather than take on work I can't deliver at the standard I hold myself to.Skills in Cyber Security (23) AWS ConsultingAzure ConsultingCloud ConsultingCyber SecurityGoogle Cloud ConsultingCloud SecurityCloud ArchitectureCloud ComputingIT SecurityIT Services+13
