What I can build for you

Four scoped offerings. Each one ends with a working system in your hands — not a slide deck.

Platform

Internal Developer Platform (IDP) Setup

Full Backstage-based IDP setup from scratch — service catalog, self-service scaffolding, golden paths for your engineers. Integrated with your CI/CD and cloud provider.

→ Your devs go from idea to deployed service in minutes, not days.

Infrastructure

Cloud-Native Platform Bootstrap

End-to-end Kubernetes cluster setup, CI/CD pipelines, observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK), and GitOps workflows — production-ready in 4–8 weeks.

→ Your team ships on solid infra from day one, without firefighting.

Backend

Golang Backend Architecture & Development

System design, Golang microservice development, event-driven architecture (Kafka), gRPC APIs, and distributed systems patterns — from design doc to production PR.

→ High-throughput, maintainable services built the right way from the start.

FinOps

Cloud Cost Reduction & Monitoring

Audit your cloud spend, identify waste, rearchitect always-on services into event-driven workloads, and set up cost dashboards. Proven to cut compute costs by 40–60%.

→ Real money back in your runway, not just a report.

From $8,000 · 4–8 weeks
Option C

Hourly / Ad-hoc

Flexible hours for specific needs — code review, system design session, FinOps audit, incident support, or Golang mentorship for your team.
