Taking on new engagements
Senior platform, cloud, and infrastructure engineering, without the full-time hire.
I run production infrastructure for small and mid-size teams that outgrew their ad-hoc setup and have no senior platform person to own it. Platforms and infrastructure as code, server and container hardening, cloud costs, and the security practice around them. More than 15 years of it, remote from Slovakia.

What I do
How engagements work
Fractional or fixed-scope
Bring me in as a fractional retainer to own the platform over time, or as a fixed-scope project for a specific piece of work. Fully remote, with a long track record of overlap with UK and US teams. The work is B2B through my Slovak company, invoiced directly.
Sound familiar?
Where I usually come in
- The cloud bill jumped and nobody can say why.
- Uptime is a feeling, not a number.
- Something is in production that was never ready for it.
- Backups exist, probably. Nobody has ever restored one.
- The infrastructure lives in the console and in one person's head.
- Nobody knows what is in the big bucket, so nobody dares delete it.
- Someone gave an AI agent the AWS keys. The audit trail is a chat log.
- Patching is on the list. It has been on the list since last year.
- A customer's security questionnaire is due and half the answers are no.
- Every incident is diagnosed from scratch by whoever happened to notice.
