Fortune 50 AWS,
when scale is already hurting.

I design and recover AWS systems that have to take real load. When production, platforms, or reliability are failing, I stay through the recovery, not the slide deck.

Email me what’s breaking

If production is down, put LIVE in the subject. I’ll tell you the same day if I can come in.

I get hired to

01

Scale

The account, the org, the traffic. Fortune 50 AWS when the next load will not fit.

02

Recover

It is down, or it keeps paging. AWS is green. The product is not.

03

Harden

The failure mode does not come back. Short retainer, not a forever bench.

Proof

01

Shared store, product down, AWS green

Mongo was saturating. I put cache in front of a store we didn’t own so the app stopped stampeding it. That page class stayed quiet for months.

Tell me what’s stuck. I’ll say if I’m the wrong person.
