Cloud Cost & App Performance Optimization | SRE | AWS Azure GCP OCI
Cloud cost and application performance optimization with Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) on AWS, Azure, GCP and Oracle Cloud (OCI). I help SaaS teams cut cloud bills, speed up slow applications and stop production incidents. AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional. Microsoft Certified Azure DevOps Engineer Expert and Azure Administrator. 8+ years running production platforms, from on-call SRE at IDWise (AI identity verification SaaS) to peak-season infrastructure for Kent Building Supplies, a Canadian ecommerce retailer. RECENT RESULTS - Kent Building Supplies on AWS: monthly bill cut from $21k to $3k (85%) by fixing a request fan-out in the application instead of adding servers. Peak campaigns now run without outages. - IDWise: moved serverless workloads to Kubernetes across AWS, GCP and Oracle Cloud. Load testing and chaos engineering exposed a memory leak and costly model loading, both since fixed. - 99.99% uptime on a production SaaS platform. 50x peak traffic handled without failure. 60% faster page loads. WHAT I DO Cloud cost optimization and FinOps - AWS, Azure, GCP and OCI bill audits, rightsizing, Savings Plans, Reserved Instances and committed use discounts - Data transfer, NAT Gateway, storage and database cost reduction - Tagging and cost allocation per team, product or customer Application performance optimization - Find slow endpoints, request fan-out and memory leaks in production - Database query and index tuning - Caching, CDN and load testing with k6 to prove each fix Kubernetes cost and performance - EKS, AKS, GKE and OKE rightsizing, requests and limits, autoscaling, Spot nodes Reliability and observability - SLOs, error budgets and alerting that pages only for real issues - Prometheus, Grafana, Loki and Datadog monitoring - Incident response, runbooks and blameless post-mortems - High availability and disaster recovery design Infrastructure as Code and GitOps - Terraform, CDKTF, ArgoCD, CI/CD pipelines HOW WE START A fixed-price cost, performance or reliability audit. You get a written report within 7 days, with each finding ranked by savings, effort and risk. Implementation is optional and quoted per item. I started as a Node.js and PHP engineer, so when the cost or outage comes from application code, I find and fix it there. Send me your monthly cloud spend and your biggest production problem.
