Architecture review
Assess the current setup and recommend hosting, data, and security choices that match your scale and budget.
07 / CLOUD ARCHITECTURE & DELIVERY
Cloud architecture that fits your team and budget.
Moving to the cloud should make releases easier and hosting more predictable, not more complicated. I help teams design, deploy, and automate applications on Microsoft Azure with choices sized to what they actually need.
Part-time remote consulting · Around 10–20 hours/week. Scope and meeting overlap agreed before work begins.
IS THIS A FIT?
When this helps most
- You are moving an on-premises application to Azure and want a sound plan.
- Releases are manual, slow, or depend on one person.
- Your Azure bill or architecture has grown without a clear design.
HOW I CAN HELP
What working together looks like
Containerization

CI/CD pipelines
Automate builds, tests, and deployments with Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions.
Deployment and handover
Deploy to Azure App Service, Static Web Apps, or containers, and document how to operate it.
