Platform Engineering Services
AWS infrastructure with Terraform and the observability layer to run it confidently — packaged as three engagement types so you can start at the right level of commitment for where you are right now.
Observability Audit
Start Here
Find your blind spots before they become your next incident.
A complete review of your AWS monitoring and alerting setup. You get a prioritised written report: what is not tracked, where your blind spots are, what will cause your next incident, and a clear list of quick wins vs. long-term fixes.
What's included
- Full review of your AWS/cloud monitoring and alerting setup
- Blind spot map: untracked systems and coverage gaps against best practices
- Datadog or CloudWatch gap analysis with specific configuration recommendations
- Prioritised fix list: immediate quick wins vs. longer-term infrastructure work
- Written executive summary for your CTO or VP Engineering
Right for you if
Series A/B startups with unclear monitoring or frequent unexpected incidents

Fractional Platform Engineering
Your Part-Time Platform Team
15–20 hrs/month. I own the platform so your team owns the product.
I become your part-time platform engineer on a monthly retainer. Platform decisions, PR reviews, incident handling, and iterative infrastructure improvements — the discipline of a senior Platform Engineer at a fraction of full-time cost.
What's included
- 15–20 hours/month of dedicated platform engineering time
- On-call availability for production incidents with defined escalation
- Monthly platform review: reliability metrics, cost, and roadmap priorities
- PR reviews for all infrastructure and platform-related changes
- Proactive improvements: security hardening, cost optimisation, performance
Right for you if
Series A/B startups with a product team but no dedicated platform engineer
