DevOps & Platform Engineering
CI/CD pipelines that deploy in minutes. Kubernetes clusters that don't require heroes to manage. Cloud spend you can account for. Infrastructure-as-code that a new engineer can understand on day one. Platform engineering from someone who's done it at scale.

🚀
Your main branch deployment involves manual steps, a Slack message to the team, a 45-minute test suite, and someone watching the Kubernetes rollout in case it goes wrong. Elite engineering teams deploy 40-100 times per day. If your team deploys once a week, you're paying a compounding competitive tax on every feature you ship.
💸
Your AWS or GCP spend doubled last year. You don't know which service is responsible. Nobody has set budget alerts. RDS instances run at 8% CPU. EKS node groups auto-scaled up for a traffic spike three months ago and nobody scaled them back. FinOps isn't about reducing spend — it's about knowing where every pound goes.
🌫️
Somebody set up EKS 18 months ago following a tutorial. Now you have 47 deployments, inconsistent resource limits, no network policies, Helm charts nobody can read, and a cluster that would fail a CIS benchmark audit. Kubernetes power comes from understanding it — not from having it installed.

New engineer joins Monday. By Friday they've got a mostly-working local environment, having pestered three colleagues. The setup doc is 47 steps long, half of which are out of date. Ephemeral environments and automated onboarding tooling are engineering investments that compound — every new hire, every PR, every day.
How we help
01
GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Buildkite pipelines designed for speed and reliability. Parallelised test suites, artifact caching, preview environments per PR, and deployment pipelines with automated rollback. DeployLens (our CI/CD visualisation prototype) tracks DORA metrics — deployment frequency, lead time, MTTR, and change failure rate — so you have evidence the improvements are real.
02
EKS, GKE, or AKS cluster architecture with Helm chart organisation, Kustomize overlays, resource quotas and limits, network policies, RBAC, and the observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki) that makes production survivable. We've managed clusters at McLaren Racing scale — we know what breaks under pressure.
03
CloudScope (our FinOps prototype) demonstrates what cost visibility looks like: per-service spend breakdown, right-sizing recommendations, Reserved Instance and Savings Plan coverage analysis, and budget alerting. We implement the tagging strategy, cost allocation, and right-sizing that typically reduces cloud spend 20-35% without affecting performance.
04
Terraform or Pulumi — we have a preference (Terraform for simplicity, Pulumi for complex logic) and we'll explain why for your use case. Module structure that survives multiple environments and multiple engineers. EnvForge (our ephemeral environment prototype) shows how developer environments are created on PR open and destroyed on merge, reducing environment management overhead to zero.
