Platform · CI · Migration
Platform engineering for teams that have outgrown ad-hoc CI, runner sprawl and wiki-ops. Kubernetes, GitOps, developer platforms and the migrations that get you there, designed, built and operated by the person you talk to.
No bench, no handoff. The person on the call is the person in the cluster.

One Engineer, Not a Bench
Kubernetes, Terraform and cloud-native architecture, learned by running them. The person you talk to is the person who does the work.
Public
Work You Can Read
Go libraries, GitHub Actions other teams run in their pipelines, and a protoc plugin that generates Terraform provider code. All public, so you can judge the code before the call.
DORA
Measured, Not Asserted
Deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate and restore time. I take the same four readings before and after, and say so when the work is not moving them.
Teams whose own infrastructure has become the thing slowing them down, usually around the point where three or more teams deploy independently with different tooling.
Golden paths · GitOps · DORA you can read
Teams who can describe exactly why they do not deploy on a Friday, and would like that reason to stop being true.
Safer Friday deploys · Fewer pipeline exceptions · A rollback that has been run
Teams moving off on-premises hardware, or off a tool they have outgrown, who want the cloud-native version rather than the same servers in a different building.
Staged cutovers · Nexus and SCM exits · Nothing moves without a rollback
Teams facing a decision nobody wants to own, and buyers who need to know what they are acquiring before they sign.
A decision you can act on · Evidence before recommendation
Teams where the platform exists but the last mile is manual, and the person who knows the steps is the bottleneck.
The last mile automated · Handed over, not hoarded
Product companies of roughly 30 to 200 engineers where infrastructure or CI has become the bottleneck.
Work I will point you somewhere better for, rather than take.
More of the code, and more of the change volume, now comes from AI-assisted development. The platform has to hold the same DORA bar with tighter guardrails, which is a platform problem rather than an AI one.

Tell me what you are running and what is slowing you down. I reply within one business day, and I will say so if this is not work I should take.
