Take control of your compute expenses. Save money by optimizing your cost drivers.

• Database management

  Maintenance, performance, and security

  Fix the big things like connection setups and drill down on table and query optimization. Wins at the database layer are some of the most permanent and far-reaching improvements.

• Modernizing with workers

  Serverless and edge infrastructure

  Servers that sit idle most of the day still bill for every hour. Using workers is a much better fit for many modern processes, especially inference-heavy ones. I move workflows onto workers that cost nothing between requests and scale without capacity planning.

• Workflows and pipelines

  CI/CD, ETL, and batch jobs

  I measure each stage and cut the waste: repeated work, missing caches, oversized runners, and jobs that run more often than needed.

• Monoliths and microservices

  Splitting where it pays off

  Not every monolith should be split, and not every split saves money. I find the parts that need to scale or ship on their own, and separate them one at a time.

• Python migrations

  Dependency, language, and hosting migrations

  I help your projects modernize by safely migrating dependencies like pandas and FastAPI, or the Python version itself. Python Workers also open up radically simpler hosting setups.

• Complex time-series analysis

  Finance, music, metrics, and logs

  I make sense of complex financial, musical, or logging data. This can include creating custom event indexers, designing storage systems, anomaly detection, or forecasting.

1. Audit

   I start from your bills, metrics, and code to find where the money and time go, and we agree on what to fix first.

2. Fix

   I make the changes myself, in small, reversible steps, each one measured against where we started.

3. Hand over

   You keep the changes, the before-and-after numbers, and notes your team can maintain without me.
