Consultation & Training: How I Work With Teams and Businesses

Not Just Advice — Outcomes

Consultation only matters when it leads to something. Every engagement I take has a clear goal: a decision made, a process improved, a team more capable than before we started.

Here's what that looks like in practice.


Types of Consultation

1. Cloud & DevOps Strategy

Who it's for: CTOs, engineering leads, and technical founders who need a clear direction on cloud infrastructure — without a six-month vendor engagement.

What we cover:

  • Where you are today vs. where you need to be
  • Cloud provider selection (AWS vs. Azure vs. GCP) with honest trade-offs
  • Build vs. buy decisions for platform tooling
  • Roadmap prioritisation: what to fix now, what to defer

Format: 2–4 week engagement, workshops + written recommendations + follow-up review


2. AWS Cost Optimisation Review

Who it's for: Teams whose AWS bill is growing faster than their revenue.

What we cover:

  • Full audit of your current AWS spend
  • Right-sizing recommendations for EC2, RDS, ElastiCache
  • Reserved Instance and Savings Plans strategy
  • S3 storage class migration and lifecycle policies
  • Tagging strategy for per-team cost visibility

Typical outcome: 20–40% cost reduction identified within two weeks of analysis.


3. Architecture Review

Who it's for: Teams preparing for scale, planning a migration, or dealing with reliability problems they can't fully explain.

What we cover:

  • AWS Well-Architected Review across all six pillars
  • Identification of single points of failure, security gaps, and cost inefficiencies
  • Prioritised findings with clear remediation steps
  • Multi-region and disaster recovery strategy if needed

4. DevOps Bootcamp for Engineering Teams

Who it's for: Engineering teams who want to adopt DevOps practices but don't know where to start — or have started but aren't getting the results they expected.

What we cover:

  • CI/CD fundamentals and pipeline design
  • GitOps workflows with ArgoCD or GitHub Actions
  • Kubernetes basics through to production readiness
  • Observability: metrics, logs, traces, and SLOs
  • Security practices: secrets management, container scanning, least privilege

Format: 2–5 day intensive workshop, tailored to your team's stack and maturity level. Includes hands-on labs, not just slides.


5. Tech Stack Advisory for Startups

Who it's for: Founders and early-stage teams making technology decisions that will be hard to undo later.

What we cover:

  • Framework and language selection relative to your team's strengths
  • Cloud architecture for an early-stage product that needs to grow
  • When to use managed services vs. self-hosted
  • What to build in-house vs. what to outsource
  • How to hire your first platform engineer

6. Job Search & Career Guidance (Tech Professionals)

Who it's for: Engineers looking to transition into DevOps/Cloud/Platform roles, or professionals preparing for senior-level interviews.

What we cover:

  • CV and LinkedIn review from a hiring manager's perspective
  • Interview preparation for system design and behavioural rounds
  • Certification roadmap: AWS, CKA, Terraform, and others
  • How to position yourself for leadership roles in platform engineering

How Engagements Work

Every consultation starts the same way: a free 30-minute call. No commitment, no pitch. I want to understand what you're dealing with before suggesting how I can help.

From there, engagements are scoped based on what you need — a single workshop, a multi-week review, or ongoing advisory. I work with individuals, small teams, and large organisations.
