AWS Solutions Consulting

We're your partner who understands how every service interacts to create a secure, cost-optimized, and high-performing infrastructure.

Scaling Excellence through Deep Technical Expertise

In an ecosystem as vast as Amazon Web Services, “knowing the cloud” isn’t enough. You need a partner who understands how every service interacts to create a secure, cost-optimized, and high-performing infrastructure.

With a background that spans the entire AWS landscape—from initial migrations to advanced serverless orchestration—I help organizations transform their cloud presence from a cost center into a competitive advantage.

My Approach: The Well-Architected Framework

Every solution I design is rooted in the five pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework: Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, and Cost Optimization. I don’t just build for today; I build for the scale you anticipate tomorrow.Areas of Deep Specialization

1. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Automation

I specialize in eliminating “click-ops” by codifying your entire environment. This ensures repeatable, error-free deployments and allows your team to treat infrastructure with the same rigor as application code.

  • Tools: Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, AWS CDK
  • Outcome: Faster time-to-market and 100% environment parity
2. Modernization & Modern Apps (Serverless/Containers)

Moving beyond basic EC2 instances to leverage the full power of cloud-native scaling.

  • Technologies: AWS Lambda, Amazon ECS/EKS (Kubernetes), Fargate, and EventBridge.
  • Outcome: Drastic reduction in operational overhead and “pay-for-value” billing models.
3. Security, Governance & Compliance

Cloud security is a shared responsibility. I ensure your “side of the street” is locked down using enterprise-grade identity management and monitoring.

  • IAM policy hardening
  • AWS Organizations/Control Tower
  • GuardDuty
  • AWS Config for compliance (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC2)
4. Data Strategy & Analytics

Turning raw data into actionable insights by building robust, scalable data pipelines.

  • Amazon S3 Data Lakes
  • Redshift
  • Glue
  • Athena
  • Kinesis for real-time streaming

Wide Spectrum Service Offerings

  • Cloud Readiness Assessment: A top-to-bottom review of your current architecture to identify performance bottlenecks and security gaps.
  • Cloud Migration (6 R’s): Strategic planning for Rehosting, Replatforming, or Refactoring your legacy on-premise workloads.
  • FinOps & Cost Optimization: Deep-dive analysis of your AWS bill to eliminate waste, leveraging Spot Instances, Savings Plans, and architectural rightsizing.
  • CI/CD Pipeline Design: Streamlining your developer experience using AWS CodePipeline and GitHub Actions for seamless deployments.

“Infrastructure is not just where your code lives; it is the foundation of your business agility. My goal is to make your AWS environment so robust and automated that you forget it’s even there.”
