Consultancy. No surprises, no lock-in.
Every engagement is fixed-scope: agreed outcomes, a clear price, and working infrastructure in your own repo at the end. Discovery, scope, build, handover.
Four steps. No surprises.
You always know what's coming, what it costs, and when. Each step has a concrete output you sign off before the next begins.
Discovery
A 60-minute call. I review your stack, current pain, and goals — then tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit. No deck, no obligation.
Scope & estimate
A fixed-scope proposal: outcomes, deliverables, timeline and price. You see exactly what you're buying before anything starts.
Build
I build it — usually with Terraform — in a fork of your repo. PRs reviewed by your team, so there are no black boxes and no lock-in.
Handover
Docs, runbooks and a recorded walkthrough. Your team owns it. Optional retainer if you want ongoing ops cover.
Pick the shape that fits.

You know the cost and the deliverables before work starts. No open meters.
