Consulting

Senior DevOps engineering, applied to your actual problems

No generic transformation programme. We look at what you are running today, find what is fragile, expensive or slow, and fix it as code in your repositories.

01

Cloud & Infrastructure Architecture

Landing zones, account structure, networking and IaC foundations designed so the next fifty engineers inherit something sane instead of something archaeological.

AWSGCPAzureTerraformTerragruntPulumi

What you get

  • Multi-account / multi-project topology with guardrails
  • VPC, connectivity and egress design that survives audit
  • Terraform modules, state strategy and environment promotion
  • Written architecture decision records, not tribal knowledge
02

Kubernetes & Container Platforms

Production-grade clusters with the boring parts automated: ingress, autoscaling, GitOps delivery and a clear blast radius for every workload.

KubernetesHelmArgo CDKarpenterIstioKustomize

What you get

  • EKS / GKE / AKS cluster design, upgrades and node strategy
  • GitOps delivery with Argo CD or Flux
  • Autoscaling that responds to real traffic, not guesswork
  • Multi-tenancy, network policy and resource governance
03

CI/CD & Developer Experience

Pipelines your team trusts. Fast feedback, reproducible builds, and releases that are a non-event rather than a calendar invite.

GitHub ActionsGitLab CIJenkinsArgo RolloutsDockerBuildkit

What you get

  • Pipeline redesign with caching and parallelism that cuts build time
  • Progressive delivery: canary, blue-green, feature-flagged rollouts
  • Ephemeral preview environments per pull request
  • Golden paths and templates so new services start correct
04

Observability & SRE

Know what broke before your customers tell you. Metrics, logs and traces wired into SLOs and an on-call rotation people can actually live with.

PrometheusGrafanaLokiOpenTelemetryDatadogPagerDuty

What you get

  • SLO/SLI definition tied to user-visible behaviour
  • Unified metrics, logs and distributed tracing
  • Alerts that page on symptoms, not on noise
  • Incident response, runbooks and blameless postmortems
05

Cloud Cost Engineering

Most cloud bills are 30-50% waste hiding behind unlabelled resources. We find it, cut it, and put guardrails in so it does not creep back.

AWS Cost ExplorerKubecostOpenCostInfracostAthena

What you get

  • Full cost attribution through tagging and account hygiene
  • Right-sizing, Spot / Savings Plans and commitment strategy
  • Storage lifecycle, data transfer and idle resource cleanup
  • Per-team budgets, anomaly alerts and a monthly review cadence
06

Security & Compliance Engineering

Least-privilege IAM, real secret management and supply-chain controls built into the pipeline, so compliance becomes a byproduct instead of a project.

VaultAWS IAMTrivyOPA / GatekeeperSOPSFalco

What you get

  • IAM and RBAC rebuilt around least privilege
  • Secrets out of env files and into a managed vault
  • Image, dependency and IaC scanning enforced in CI
  • SOC 2 / ISO 27001 technical control readiness
07

Migration & Modernization

Data centre to cloud, VM to container, monolith to services — sequenced so the business keeps shipping while the platform changes underneath it.

DockerKubernetesDMSTerraformKafkaNginx

What you get

  • Dependency mapping and a wave-based migration plan
  • Containerization and gradual service extraction
  • Zero / near-zero downtime database and traffic cutover
  • Rollback plan rehearsed before the real cutover

Engagement models

Three ways to work together

Pick the shape that matches where you are. Most clients start with a review and move into a retainer once the roadmap is clear.

Architecture Review

1-2 weeks, fixed scope

You inherited a platform and need an honest read on it.

  • Infrastructure, pipeline and security audit
  • Prioritized findings with effort and impact
  • Cost reduction opportunities, quantified
  • Written remediation roadmap and walkthrough

Most common

Fractional DevOps

Monthly retainer, agreed hours

You need senior platform ownership without a full-time hire.

  • Ongoing platform ownership and on-call escalation
  • Roadmap, standards and code review for infra changes
  • Mentoring for your existing engineers
  • Cost and reliability reporting each month
Enquire

Project Delivery

Fixed scope, milestone-based

A defined outcome: a migration, a platform build, a rebuild.

  • Discovery, design and a signed-off delivery plan
  • Implementation with your team in the loop
  • Documentation, runbooks and handover
  • Post-delivery support window
Enquire

Pricing depends on scope and duration — share your situation and you will get a concrete proposal, not a rate card.

Tell us what is breaking.

A slow pipeline, a cloud bill nobody can explain, a cluster that only one person understands. Send the details and you will get a straight answer on whether we can help.
