Clouds (CI/CD)

What You Get: Reliable Cloud Infrastructure That Just Works

When you hire me to build and deploy your application, you’re not just getting code - you’re getting a complete, professionally configured cloud setup that runs reliably, scales with your business, and keeps your data secure.

I work across all the major cloud providers - AWS, Google Cloud (GCP), Microsoft Azure, and others - and choose the right one for your project rather than forcing everything into a single platform. A simple site or MVP can go live in seconds on Vercel or Netlify; a heavier application with databases and real traffic often belongs on AWS, GCP, or Azure. Either way, the setup is done properly. The examples below use AWS services, but the same principles apply everywhere I deploy.

A fast, professional home for your website

I set up S3 to store your website files and assets securely and cheaply, and pair it with a global delivery network so your site loads quickly for visitors anywhere in the world. Combined with Route 53 for domain management, your custom domain points exactly where it should-reliably, with no downtime during setup.

What you get: a fast, always - available website on your own domain, delivered to users worldwide.

Secure connections your customers can trust

Every modern site needs HTTPS - that padlock in the browser that tells visitors their connection is safe. I use AWS Certificate Manager to provision and automatically renew SSL certificates, so your site is always secure and you never have to think about expiring certificates or security warnings scaring away customers.

What you get: a secure, trusted site that renews itself automatically - no manual maintenance, ever.

Application servers and serverless power

Depending on what your product needs, I use EC2 for full application servers when you require consistent, always-on computing power, and Lambda for serverless functions that run only when needed and cost nothing when idle. This means you’re never paying for infrastructure you don’t use, and your app can handle traffic spikes without falling over.

What you get: an application that scales with demand and keeps your hosting costs proportional to actual usage.

Your data, properly stored and managed

I configure databases matched to your application’s needs - structured, backed up, and built to grow. Your data is organized, protected, and accessible only to the parts of your system that should touch it.

What you get: a solid data foundation you can trust and build on as you grow.

Security done right from day one

This is the part most people never see and where cut-corner developers create real risk. I configure IAM roles and permissions so that every part of your system has exactly the access it needs - and nothing more. No shared passwords, no over-privileged accounts, no security holes waiting to be exploited.

What you get: a system built on the principle of least privilege, dramatically reducing the risk of breaches and protecting your business and your customers.

How your updates actually reach customers: the pipeline

Building the infrastructure is only half the job. The other half is making sure new changes reach your live product quickly, safely, and predictably - every single time. I set up an automated pipeline (CI/CD) so that shipping an update is a calm, routine event instead of a risky manual scramble.

Here’s what that pipeline looks like in practice:

1. A change is pushed - code is sent to the shared repository (e.g. GitHub).
2. The build runs automatically - the system compiles and packages the app, no manual steps.
3. Tests run - automated checks catch bugs before they reach customers. If something fails, the pipeline stops and flags it.
4. A preview goes live - a temporary copy is deployed so the change can be reviewed working, before it’s public.
5. It ships to production - once everything passes, the update goes live automatically, the same way every time.

The whole cycle can take minutes, and it’s identical on every deployment - no “it worked on my machine,” no forgotten steps, no midnight panic.

What you get: the ability to ship improvements daily instead of monthly, problems caught before customers notice, and new developers who can contribute safely without breaking what already works.

The bottom line

You get infrastructure that works quietly in the background: fast, secure, cost-efficient, and built to scale-on whichever cloud provider fits your project best. Everything is configured properly, documented clearly, and structured so it can be maintained or handed off to a larger team as you grow. You’re never locked into depending on any single person.

Most importantly, you get peace of mind. The technical foundation of your business is done right, so you can focus on what you do best: growing your product and serving your customers.
