Production Review

From $2,000 · report in 10 business days

Teams about to ship, or already shipping with production pain.

A paid, fixed-scope review of an AWS or AI system that is live or close to launch: where cost, reliability, latency, and rollback risk hide, and what to fix first.

What's included

  • Review across cost, reliability, latency, and rollback risk
  • Prioritized fix list: what to fix first and why
  • Focused AWS Cost & Reliability Audit when the bill is the symptom
  • Written findings you can hand straight to your team

Includes a focused AWS Cost & Reliability Audit when the bill is the symptom.

GenAI / RAG Production Readiness Review

Paid engagement · fixed scope

Teams whose AI demo works but is not yet trusted in production.

A focused review of a GenAI or RAG system before it meets real users: retrieval quality, guardrails, evals, cost-per-request ceilings, and observability on AWS Bedrock.

What's included

  • Retrieval quality and guardrail review
  • Eval coverage and cost-per-request ceiling analysis
  • Observability gaps on AWS Bedrock
  • A clear go / no-go call before real users

Implementation Sprint

Paid engagement · fixed scope

Teams that know the fix and need it shipped safely.

A scoped build to close one production gap: cost controls, deploy safety, a migration step, or RAG hardening, with measurable rollback paths.

What's included

  • One production gap closed, scoped up front
  • Cost controls, deploy safety, a migration step, or RAG hardening
  • Measurable rollback paths, not happy-path code
  • Shipped into your account, not just recommended

Fractional Platform Architect

Monthly retainer · scoped hours

Teams that need architecture ownership in the room.

Ongoing senior AWS and GenAI judgment without a full-time hire: reviews, standards, cost guardrails, and reliability direction.

What's included

  • Recurring architecture reviews on your cadence
  • Standards, cost guardrails, and reliability direction
  • Senior AWS and GenAI judgment without a full-time hire
  • A named architect your team can escalate to

Forward Deployed AI Engineering

Pain this fixesThe AI idea is approved, but someone still has to make it work inside messy data, auth, security, AWS, product, and user constraints.

Founders, CTOs, product teams, and platform teams that need a senior builder embedded close to the problem: discovery, architecture, implementation, integration, rollout, adoption, and production hardening.

I will not treat this like a lab prototype. Forward-deployed AI work has to survive users, permissions, cost, rollout, and the team that inherits it.

Open service detail

What you may be seeing

  • - AI demos are moving faster than production readiness
  • - Requirements are ambiguous and nobody owns the technical path end to end
  • - RAG, agents, auth, data access, and legacy integrations are colliding
  • - The team needs reusable patterns, not one-off prototype code
  • - AI adoption needs developer workflow, governance, observability, and handoff

How I find the cause

  • - business workflow, user journey, success metric, and failure mode
  • - data access, permissions, identity, security, and compliance constraints
  • - RAG, Bedrock/model routing, agents, evals, guardrails, and fallback behavior
  • - AWS architecture, IaC, CI/CD, observability, cost per request, and rollback
  • - developer adoption, documentation, reusable scaffolds, and operating handoff

What you get

  • - discovery-to-delivery technical plan
  • - production architecture and integration map
  • - working critical path or implementation sprint
  • - eval, observability, governance, and rollback baseline
  • - reusable playbook your team can own after handoff

What to bring

  • - product goal
  • - current stack
  • - data/API constraints
  • - what is failing now

AWS Production Architecture Review

Pain this fixesYour AWS setup works, but the bill, releases, permissions, and incidents are starting to feel hard to trust.

Series A-C SaaS and product teams that built fast and now need cost, reliability, IAM, observability, and deployment risk reviewed.

I will not turn this into a generic cloud maturity deck. The output must name real risks, owners, and first moves.

Open service detail

What you may be seeing

  • - AWS spend is rising without a clear owner
  • - Incidents require too much manual diagnosis
  • - IAM, accounts, and environments have drifted
  • - Rollback is vague or untested

How I find the cause

  • - account and environment structure
  • - IAM boundaries and network exposure
  • - CI/CD, rollback, and release ownership
  • - CloudWatch, X-Ray, logs, alarms, and cost hotspots
  • - scaling limits and failure paths

What you get

  • - architecture risk report
  • - top 10 production risks
  • - quick wins
  • - 30/60/90-day technical plan
  • - cost and reliability action list

What to bring

  • - architecture sketch
  • - billing context
  • - incident history

GenAI / RAG Production Readiness

Pain this fixesThe AI feature looked good in a demo, but real users expose slow answers, wrong answers, and unclear costs.

Teams moving AI features from demo to production.

The model is rarely the whole problem. I will not hide retrieval, eval, or failure handling behind prompt changes.

Open service detail

What you may be seeing

  • - Answers are inconsistent or hard to trust
  • - Latency and cost per request are unstable
  • - Prompts and retrieval changes are not versioned
  • - There is no eval or fallback behavior

How I find the cause

  • - grounding and retrieval quality
  • - context design, prompt/version control, and evaluation
  • - guardrails, audit trail, model routing, and observability
  • - cost per request and fallback behavior

What you get

  • - readiness report
  • - eval plan
  • - cost controls
  • - retrieval and context recommendations
  • - production runbook

What to bring

  • - sample queries
  • - source data map
  • - current prompts or flow

AWS Cost Optimization and FinOps Review

Pain this fixesThe AWS or LLM bill is climbing faster than confidence, and nobody knows which usage is worth keeping.

Teams with real traffic, multiple AWS services, and enough spend that cost mistakes now affect roadmap decisions.

I will not promise blanket savings without billing and utilization data. The useful answer is what to cut, what to keep, and what to measure next.

Open service detail

What you may be seeing

  • - Bill spikes are discovered after finance asks
  • - Idle or oversized resources have unclear owners
  • - S3, logs, data transfer, NAT, or model calls grow silently
  • - Savings Plans or commitments feel risky because workload shape is unclear

How I find the cause

  • - Cost Explorer, CUR, tags, accounts, and workload ownership
  • - compute, database, storage, logging, NAT, and data-transfer hotspots
  • - serverless and LLM/token cost per business action
  • - commitment risk, lifecycle policies, and unit economics

What you get

  • - cost driver map
  • - quick-win reduction list
  • - commitment and right-sizing recommendation
  • - LLM/token cost guardrails where relevant
  • - FinOps operating cadence

What to bring

  • - billing access/export
  • - service ownership map
  • - traffic or usage history

Serverless and Event-Driven Platform Build

Pain this fixesYou need the system to handle real traffic without hiring a large operations team or defaulting to Kubernetes too early.

Teams that need scale without carrying a heavy operations burden.

I will not suggest Kubernetes when Lambda, SQS, and Step Functions solve the problem with less operational load.

Open service detail

What you may be seeing

  • - Synchronous calls are creating cascading failures
  • - Workers, retries, and DLQs are missing or inconsistent
  • - Kubernetes is being considered by default
  • - Traffic spikes require manual babysitting

How I find the cause

  • - API Gateway, Lambda, SQS, EventBridge, Step Functions
  • - DynamoDB access patterns
  • - DLQ design, retries, idempotency, alarms, and IaC
  • - blast radius and fallback paths

What you get

  • - event flow and service boundaries
  • - IaC modules
  • - deployment and rollback runbook
  • - observability baseline
  • - operational handoff

What to bring

  • - traffic patterns
  • - critical workflows
  • - current deployment flow

Platform Engineering and IaC Foundation

Pain this fixesYour team ships, but environments, infrastructure changes, and rollback depend on too much memory and manual work.

Teams with messy Terraform/CDK, environments, CI/CD, and deployment workflows.

Good platform work should reduce decisions for product teams, not create another system they are afraid to touch.

Open service detail

What you may be seeing

  • - Infrastructure is partly ClickOps and partly code
  • - Environment setup is slow or inconsistent
  • - Developers are unsure which platform path to use
  • - CI/CD gates are either absent or painful

How I find the cause

  • - Terraform/CDK structure
  • - GitHub Actions and environment strategy
  • - IAM guardrails, reusable modules, and deployment standards
  • - rollback process and observability baseline

What you get

  • - platform structure
  • - reusable IaC modules
  • - CI/CD standards
  • - rollback process
  • - team-facing documentation

What to bring

  • - repos
  • - current IaC
  • - deployment pain points
