cloud architecture · aws · azure

Cloud sized for your business, not for a keynote.

Most cloud advice is written for enterprises. I design, migrate, and tune AWS and Azure for companies with one server room and no platform team, including the on-prem ERP box everyone is afraid to touch.

Cloud migration

On-premise servers and workloads moved to AWS or Azure with a written cutover plan, tested rollback, and no weekend surprises.

Architecture review

A fixed-price review of your current setup against the AWS Well-Architected pillars: security, reliability, cost. You get a prioritized fix list, not a sales deck.

Cost optimization

Line-by-line billing analysis, right-sizing, and reserved capacity planning. Typical first pass finds 20 to 40 percent of spend doing nothing.

DR and backups

Disaster recovery that has actually been tested: backup policies, restore drills, and documentation your team can follow at 2 a.m.

Common questions


AWS or Azure: which should we pick?

Whichever fits what you already run. Microsoft-heavy shops (AD, SQL Server, 365) usually land better on Azure; greenfield and Linux workloads often fit AWS. I work in both and have no reseller margin pushing either way.


Can our ERP or line-of-business server move to the cloud?

Usually yes, and it is a specialty here: I have moved and integrated ERP workloads (including SYSPRO) with strict uptime needs. The scope always includes a tested rollback path so the move is boring, which is the goal.


Do you replace our IT provider or MSP?

No. I do project engineering: architecture, migration, optimization. Your MSP keeps running day-to-day support, and I hand them documentation they will actually use.


What does a cloud engagement cost?

Architecture and cost reviews are small fixed-price scopes, typically low four figures. Migrations are quoted after a discovery call, fixed-price and in writing, and cost optimization usually pays for itself inside a quarter.
