The Problem

Your team should be shipping, not fighting servers.

Legacy VMware clusters slow you down. AWS migrations carry hidden risks. Linux CVEs pile up. And you can't justify a full-time infra hire for work that comes in bursts.

  • Downtime events that derail sprint cycles
  • Patching backlogs creating security exposure
  • Cloud migrations stalled by complexity or risk
  • Vendors quoting hardware without a real architecture plan
What I deliver instead
  • ✓Clear architecture plan before any purchase or migration
  • ✓Vendor evaluation, hardware sizing, and purchasing handled for you
  • ✓Phased migrations with rollback plans and minimal downtime
  • ✓CVE remediation and patching programs with automation (Ansible, Bash)
  • ✓Hybrid AWS+VMware connectivity that stays secure and manageable
  • ✓Senior-level decisions without a full-time salary commitment
