AWS infrastructure that European teams trust to ship.

I'm a senior cloud & DevOps engineer. Agencies ship cloud projects under their brand, scale-ups keep an architect on call, and security teams pass their GDPR audits — without hiring full-time.

What I do

Three ways to work with me

Pick the engagement that fits — one-off delivery, ongoing access, or a focused audit.

White-label delivery

Your agency sells the cloud project — I build it behind the scenes, under your brand. Reliable subcontracting for teams that don't have AWS depth in-house.

  • Infrastructure setup, migrations, IaC
  • Delivered under NDA, your client never sees me
  • Clear scope, clean handover docs

Partner with me

AWS security & GDPR audit

A focused review of your AWS environment against security best practices and GDPR data-handling expectations. Clear findings, prioritized fixes.

  • IAM, encryption, logging & exposure review
  • Prioritized report + remediation plan
  • Fast turnaround, fixed price
€800–2,000/ project

Areas of expertise

What I can help you build & secure

Beyond the engagement models above, here's the ground I cover. Mix and match — most projects span several of these.

Hybrid infrastructure

Review of your current setup and clear options for building cloud + on-prem architectures that actually fit.

PCI DSS & CIS

Readiness reviews and practical hardening advice against PCI DSS and CIS benchmarks — gaps, priorities, fixes.

AWS environments

Design, set-up, and day-to-day management of AWS accounts — landing zones, networking, IAM, scaling.

Microsoft 365

Tenant setup, security hardening, identity and licensing — configured the way a security-minded team should.

CrowdStrike SIEM

Deployment and tuning of CrowdStrike for endpoint detection and SIEM — alerts that mean something.

Hypervisors

Proxmox and other virtualization platforms — clusters, VMs, backups, and migration off legacy hosts.

Edge & network configs

Caddy, Cloudflare, Nginx, Palo Alto — reverse proxies, WAF, TLS, and firewall rules done properly.

Deep AWS monitoring

Visibility into ECS, RDS, costs and alerts — dashboards and alarms so you see problems before users do.

Why work with me

Built for how European teams actually work

Invisible by design

White-label work stays your brand. NDAs standard, no logos of mine on your deliverables.

EU-friendly hours

Overlapping timezone and responsive communication — no waiting overnight for answers.

Security-first

Least-privilege, encryption, and logging baked in by default, not bolted on later.

No surprises

Clear scope, written estimates, and documentation you can hand to the next engineer.

How it works

From first message to delivery

Discovery call

A free 30-minute call to understand your goals, constraints, and timeline.

Scope & quote

You get a written scope with a fixed price or hourly estimate — no commitment yet.

Build & review

I deliver in clear milestones, with regular updates and review checkpoints.

Handover

Documentation, walkthrough, and optional ongoing retainer for peace of mind.

Track record

Infrastructure I've built

A few of the environments I've designed and run. Client names stay private — most work ships under NDA.

Major international trading platform

Designed and operated the cloud infrastructure behind a high-traffic trading platform — built for performance, reliability, and security at scale.

Hybrid card-processing system

Stood up a hybrid (cloud + on-prem) processing environment with PCI-grade controls for handling card transactions safely.

Field-deployable server room

Engineered a portable, self-contained server room for on-site and field operations — compute, networking, and resilience in a deployable unit.

…and more, under NDA

Most engagements stay confidential. Ask on a call and I'll share what I'm able to about relevant past work.

FAQ

Questions I get a lot

How do we start working together?

We begin with a free 30-minute discovery call to understand your goals and constraints. Then you get a written scope with a fixed price or hourly estimate — no commitment until you're happy with it.

Do you work white-label / under NDA?

Yes. For agencies I work entirely behind the scenes — your client never sees me, and deliverables carry your brand. NDAs are standard and I'm happy to sign yours before we discuss specifics.

How do you price projects?

Rates on this page are indicative, mid-market figures. Every project can be quoted individually depending on scope — fixed-bid for defined work, hourly or monthly retainer for ongoing support.

What payment methods do you accept?

Bank transfer or crypto. Crypto payments get a better rate since they save on fees. Invoicing terms are agreed up front in the scope.

Can you just review or audit our setup without a big project?

Absolutely. A focused AWS security / PCI DSS / CIS readiness review is a common standalone engagement — you get prioritized findings and a remediation plan, with no obligation to have me do the fixes.

Where are you based and which timezones do you cover?

I'm based in Yerevan, Armenia, and work with clients across Europe with overlapping working hours and responsive communication — no waiting overnight for answers.
