Dauryl B.

I help startups and SMBs build secure, compliant cloud infrastructure without the cost of a full-time CTO or CISO. 15+ years of cloud architecture and security engineering experience across companies like Cisco, General Mills, Home Depot, Collins Aerospace, and other Fortune 500 environments. AWS Certified Solutions Architect. CISSP in progress. I specialize in startups operating in regulated environments: CJIS, FedRAMP, SOC 2, HIPAA, and CMMC. If you need compliance built into your infrastructure from day one rather than bolted on later, that's exactly what I do. How I typically work with startup clients: Embedded as a fractional technical leader, 10-20 hours per week. I join your Slack, attend standups when needed, and own your infrastructure decisions. Minimum 3-month engagement. Recent example: I serve as fractional Lead DevOps Engineer for a CJIS-regulated GovTech startup, where I designed and built their AWS infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and compliance controls from the ground up. What I do for clients: - AWS and Azure cloud architecture design and implementation - Infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation) - CI/CD pipeline setup (GitHub Actions, GitLab) - Security controls and compliance implementation - Network design (VPC, subnets, security groups, IAM) - Monitoring, alerting, and incident response - Architecture decision-making and team mentorship I also offer one-time engagements: - Cloud Infrastructure Buildout: I design and build your entire cloud environment from scratch in 4-8 weeks - Architecture Review: 2-week deep review of your existing infrastructure with a prioritized 90-day remediation plan Tools I work with daily: AWS, Azure, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, n8n, Cloudflare, Linux/Ubuntu. If your startup is building in a space where security and compliance matter, let's talk. I'm selective about engagements and only take on work where I can deliver real value.
