Cloud Engineering

AWS-first cloud, built to stay simple at scale.

We design, migrate, secure, and run AWS clouds for founders and enterprises. AWS Partner with deep experience across Bedrock, EKS, data, security, and FinOps — so the cloud your product runs on is reliable, compliant, and cost-aware from day one.

The problem

Sound familiar?

  • 01Your AWS account grew organically — security, cost, and reliability all suffered together.
  • 02You need multi-region, private VPC, or compliance-grade deployment but no one on the team has shipped one.
  • 03Cloud spend keeps climbing and nobody can explain why — let alone fix it.
What we deliver

Concrete outputs. Nothing hand-wavy.

Account and Organisation baseline — SSO, IAM, CloudTrail, GuardDuty, tagging policy.
VPC, networking, and security designed for least-privilege and workload isolation.
Container and serverless platforms — ECS Fargate, EKS, Lambda, Step Functions.
Data engineering stack — S3 + Glue + Athena, Redshift, Snowflake, dbt.
FinOps program — rightsizing, RI/Savings Plan strategy, anomaly detection, showback.
Compliance scaffolding for SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 readiness.
Methodology

How we run the engagement.

Phase 1

Discover

Account audit, workload inventory, risk + cost baseline.

Phase 2

Design

Target architecture, migration plan, security guardrails.

Phase 3

Build

Terraform-first IaC, security controls, pipelines, observability.

Phase 4

Operate

Runbooks, on-call, quarterly optimisation sprints.

Stack we work in

Opinionated but pragmatic.

We are deepest on AWS and Claude / Bedrock. We also ship on Azure, GCP, and open-source where they are the right fit.
