Cloud Architecture & Operations

Design and run resilient cloud and hybrid platforms with clear ownership, guardrails and paths to scale — not one-off configs.

Platforms

Cloud & Infrastructure Coverage

Platform-specific problems, tooling and outcomes — structured the same way across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and hybrid estates.

Cloud platform

Amazon Web Services

Problems solved

  • Over-provisioned EC2 and RDS with no clear ownership or tagging
  • IAM policies and security groups that grow faster than governance
  • Single-AZ or fragile autoscaling under real production traffic
  • CloudWatch and backup gaps discovered only during incidents
  • AWS spend that rises without engineering-backed optimization

Technologies

  • EC2
  • RDS
  • S3
  • Lambda
  • VPC
  • EKS
  • CloudWatch
  • IAM
  • Auto Scaling

Outcomes

  • Right-sized AWS workloads
  • Stronger IAM and network guardrails
  • Reliable HA and scaling patterns
  • Clearer cost and observability

Cloud platform

Microsoft Azure

Problems solved

  • Subscription and resource group sprawl without landing-zone standards
  • Entra ID, RBAC and policy gaps across teams and environments
  • Networking and peering designs that are hard to operate at scale
  • Patchy monitoring and backup coverage across Azure workloads
  • Azure spend and licensing misaligned to actual utilization

Technologies

  • Virtual Machines
  • AKS
  • Azure Monitor
  • Entra ID
  • Virtual Network
  • Azure Policy
  • Key Vault
  • Backup

Outcomes

  • Governed Azure subscriptions
  • Consistent identity and access control
  • Predictable platform operations
  • Better cost and compliance visibility

Cloud platform

Google Cloud

Problems solved

  • Folder and project structure that does not match team ownership
  • GKE and Compute Engine operations without mature SRE practices
  • IAM bindings and service accounts that are difficult to audit
  • Limited visibility into spend, egress and idle resources
  • Data and networking paths that are under-documented for production

Technologies

  • Compute Engine
  • GKE
  • Cloud Run
  • Cloud Storage
  • Cloud Monitoring
  • VPC
  • IAM
  • Cloud Load Balancing

Outcomes

  • Cleaner GCP organization structure
  • Production-ready container platforms
  • Observable, cost-aware workloads
  • Documented networking and access patterns

Cross-cloud

Hybrid & Multi-Cloud

Problems solved

  • No shared standards when AWS, Azure and GCP operate in silos
  • Terraform and IaC drift between teams, regions and providers
  • Disaster recovery and failover paths that are untested across clouds
  • Tooling fragmentation for DNS, CDN, secrets and observability
  • Architecture reviews that never become prioritized remediation

Technologies

  • Terraform
  • Kubernetes
  • Cloudflare
  • Hybrid networking
  • DNS & traffic routing
  • GitOps
  • Policy as code

Outcomes

  • Unified governance across providers
  • Portable, maintainable infrastructure patterns
  • Clearer DR and operational ownership
  • Less cross-cloud operational friction
