Cloud & DevSecOps engagements, delivered fixed-fee
Azure and AWS landing zones, IaC-driven deployments, and CI/CD pipelines that ship securely from day one. We scope the work, execute the SOW, and hand off documentation your team can actually use.
Who this is for
Signals it's time to bring in an outside engineer for this work.
You need a landing zone but not a full-time cloud engineer
Standing up your first Azure or AWS environment is a project, not a job. We deliver the foundation, hand off the runbooks, and step out.
Your Terraform is duct-taped together
Manual clicks in the portal, drifted state, no code review. We rebuild it clean with IaC that survives after we leave.
Your CI/CD works, but nobody trusts it
Flaky deploys, missing environments, secrets in Git. We rebuild GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps pipelines with policy gates and rollback baked in.
FinOps is a spreadsheet, not a discipline
Bills climb unpredictably every month. We tag, budget, alert, and right-size so cost stops being a surprise.
What we deliver
The specific capabilities we scope, build, and hand off.
Azure & AWS landing zones
Subscription / account structure, networking, identity, policy guardrails, tagging strategy.
Infrastructure as Code
Terraform or Bicep modules for repeatable deploys. State backend, drift detection, PR-driven change.
CI/CD pipelines
GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or GitLab. Build → test → security scan → deploy with environment gates.
Container platforms
Docker + Azure Container Apps, ECS Fargate, or self-hosted. Right-sized for the workload, not overbuilt.
Secrets, identity, policy
Azure Key Vault / AWS Secrets Manager, workload identity, RBAC, org-level policy.
Observability + FinOps
Metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, cost alerts, tagging discipline so bills stop surprising you.
A typical engagement
Sample scope: Azure landing zone + first workload cutover
- Tenant + subscription structure (mgmt group, prod, non-prod, sandbox)
- Virtual network, private DNS, hub-and-spoke topology
- Entra ID + conditional access + break-glass account setup
- Terraform modules committed to your GitHub, PR-driven deploys
- Azure Container Apps + Application Gateway for a pilot workload
- GitHub Actions pipeline: build → test → deploy to non-prod → gated prod release
- Cost budgets, tagging policy, and monthly cost review runbook
- Written handoff docs + 1 hour of team training

Common questions
Do you do AWS as well as Azure?
Yes. Deep experience with both. If you already have a preference, we build there. If you don't, we help you pick based on the workloads, your team's skills, and licensing you already own (Microsoft-heavy orgs often lean Azure; container-heavy ISVs often lean AWS).
Do you take on multi-year platform engineering retainers?
No. We deliver defined SOWs (a landing zone, a migration, a pipeline rebuild). Ongoing support is available as an opt-in monthly plan, cancelable with 30 days notice. If you need a full-time platform engineer, we'll be honest and point you to hiring.
What about compliance work (HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI)?
We build cloud environments that satisfy the technical controls those frameworks require (encryption, logging, access, network segmentation). We do not perform audits or issue attestations. We work alongside your auditor or advisor.
Can you work remotely or do you need to be on-site?
Cloud work is remote-friendly by default. On-site is available for kickoff or knowledge-transfer if the engagement warrants it (we are Buffalo, NY based).
