Production infrastructure, handed over.
Engagements across SaaS, FinTech and B2B software. Each one ended with the platform in production, documented, and operated by the client's own team. Clients are described by sector and scale where names are under NDA.
Government · Tourism · Azure
A secure Azure platform for a national tourism digital ecosystem, delivered as code.
A high-traffic tourism ecosystem built on Sitecore, .NET and Optimizely needed standardised, observable and resilient infrastructure across development, UAT and production. I owned cloud architecture, security, networking, CI/CD and production application delivery as Cloud Solution Architect and DevOps Engineer.
Food & Wellness · E-commerce · Azure
The Azure platform behind a high-volume digital meal-plan experience, run as code.
PractiCal sells personalised meal plans across the UAE through a Next.js storefront, Laravel/PHP backend services and Azure serverless workloads. I owned the cloud and application platform end to end: infrastructure, edge security, CI/CD and production operations across development, staging and production.
Education · Enterprise · Azure
A secure Azure platform for a large-scale university digital experience on .NET and Umbraco.
A university digital platform serving prospective students, current students, faculty and other stakeholders: programme discovery, admissions, applications and student services on an ASP.NET and Umbraco CMS stack. I owned Azure infrastructure, application delivery, security and production operations.
B2B SaaS · AWS
Kubernetes platform that cut cloud spend by 60% and deploy time from 45 minutes to 5.
A growing SaaS platform was running on hand-built AWS infrastructure with manual deployments and costs rising 40% month on month. I replaced it with a production-grade EKS platform, GitOps delivery and infrastructure as code, migrated with zero downtime.
FinTech · AWS
Zero-trust AWS controls that took a FinTech to SOC 2 Type II in 8 weeks with no audit findings.
Enterprise deals depended on SOC 2 Type II, and the existing estate had shared secrets in code, permissive IAM and no audit trail. I designed and implemented the identity, network, secrets and audit controls, and the external audit closed with zero findings.
B2B Software · Kubernetes
Observability and SLOs that cut detection time from 90 minutes to 5 and freed a fifth of engineering time.
A six-person team ran production with no visibility: incidents took hours to detect and 40% of engineering time went to firefighting. I built the observability stack, defined SLOs and burn-rate alerting, and wrote the runbooks. Detection fell to 5 minutes and the team got 20% of its time back.
