    Full migrations from on-premise to cloud across Lift & Shift, Re-platform, and Re-architect – including assessment, roadmap, and execution.

  • SRE & Platform Engineering

    Internal developer platforms with Backstage, golden paths, and self-service infrastructure – combined with SLOs, error budgets, and GitOps-driven automation.

  • FinOps

    Structured cloud cost reduction of 20–50% through Reserved Instances, Spot strategies, and FinOps governance frameworks.

  • Cloud Security & Compliance

    Zero-Trust architecture, IAM hardening, and continuous compliance guardrails – covering GDPR, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
