I help engineering teams ship faster, spend less on cloud, and own their platform. I build it, then train your team to run it.
Available for contract and fractional platform engineering through Cogium LLC.
Let's Discuss Your PlatformA cloud platform designed for how your business grows, so infrastructure stops being the bottleneck for new features.
Off Heroku, out of the datacenter, or across clouds, with a rehearsed cutover and a back-out plan, so the business keeps running.
Find and remove the waste in your cloud bill without slowing your engineers down.
Standard deployment paths and CI/CD your engineers trust, so releases get faster and safer.
I build it, and I teach it.
Many consultants leave you with infrastructure only they understand. I build the platform, the operational model, and the team knowledge together, so you do not depend on me after the engagement ends. The engineers I train go on to teach others.
I started on UNIX systems and datacenters, moved companies to the cloud, and now build Kubernetes platforms. I have worked at startups and at large enterprises, including Capital One, Thomson Reuters, and Morgan Stanley. I help growing companies build infrastructure their teams can actually run.
