Services
Selective fractional and project-based work for teams that need senior SRE, platform, or release-engineering capacity without adding headcount.
Fractional Platform Engineering
Embedded senior IC support for teams that need platform, SRE, or release-engineering judgment without adding full-time headcount. Typical engagements: untangle a deployment pipeline, review infrastructure design before it hardens into a scaling problem, or provide senior review on infra PRs. Limited weekly availability.
Shopify Automation
Vendor feed ingestion, pricing and MAP enforcement, inventory sync, and content publishing automation. Built and run a production version of this stack for WhiteCliff Studio across ~30 Lambda functions and DynamoDB Streams. Good fit for Shopify operators outgrowing manual ops but not ready for a full-time engineer.
Cloud Automation
AWS-native automation built on Lambda, EventBridge, DynamoDB, and Serverless Framework. Daily-job pipelines, scheduled publishing, alerting, secrets management. Comfortable in the part of the stack where things break quietly — CloudFormation resource limits, IAM, cold-start tradeoffs, SSM hygiene.
CI/CD Acceleration
GitHub Actions pipelines that actually finish in under five minutes. Splitting monolithic deploys into independently shippable stacks, adding AI-assisted code review, cutting flaky-test cycles, and putting release gates where they belong. Release engineering is the day job.
