AWS architecture & buildouts
Greenfield VPC, EC2, RDS, ALB/NLB, IAM Identity Center, bastion + SSM — designed for the workload, documented end-to-end.
Senior AWS architecture, cost discipline, incident response, and compliance readiness for companies where infrastructure is the business — not a back-office line item.
