Consulting services¶

  Software development

Accelerate your product development with robust, maintainable software built by an expert Python developer with deep architectural expertise.

• Faster time-to-market — AI-augmented development for higher productivity, without compromising quality or control.
• Scalable architecture — software design that grows with your business needs.
• Modern web back-ends — high-performance REST APIs using FastAPI and PostgreSQL.
• Long-term maintainability — clean, well-documented code your team can easily understand and extend.

Stack: Python, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, Qt (desktop apps).

  Cloud infrastructure

Reduce costs and increase security with battle-tested AWS cloud architectures designed for scale and compliance.

• Security you can trust — least-privilege IAM and comprehensive VPC protection, validated by external security audits.
• Cost optimisation — right-sized infrastructure following FinOps best practices to maximise cloud ROI.
• Flexible deployment — both serverless (Lambda, DynamoDB, CloudFront) and traditional (EC2, Aurora/RDS) solutions.
• Infrastructure as Code — fully automated, reproducible deployments with Terraform.
• Multi-cloud experience — also available for Azure, OpenStack, and Alibaba Cloud.

AWS services: VPC, EC2, Lambda, RDS/Aurora, DynamoDB, S3, CloudFront, SQS, SNS, SES, Route 53, Cognito, ECS, IAM, and more.

  DevOps

Ship faster and with confidence through fully automated CI/CD pipelines that eliminate manual deployment risks.

• Zero-touch deployments — complete automation from code push to production.
• DevSecOps integration — security scanning built into your pipeline to catch vulnerabilities before production.
• Platform flexibility — expert delivery on GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, and Azure Pipelines.
• Reduced time-to-market — deploy multiple times per day instead of waiting for release windows.

Stack: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Azure Pipelines, Docker, Ansible, GitOps.

  Artificial intelligence & LLM

Unlock the power of AI while keeping your data secure, with production-ready LLM implementations designed for enterprise use.

• Enterprise AI platforms — complete LLMOps architecture with strict data governance.
• Intelligent document search — RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems that let AI access your internal knowledge base.
• Custom AI assistants — chatbots and developer tools tailored to your workflows.
• Provider flexibility — AWS Bedrock integration for access to multiple leading models.

Use cases: AI chatbots, development assistants, document intelligence, automated workflows.

  System administration

Ensure reliable, secure infrastructure with expert Linux administration and hardened server configurations.

• Enterprise Linux expertise — production-ready configurations on Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, and Alpine Linux.
• Automated configuration — Ansible playbooks for consistent, repeatable server setup.
• Security hardening — specialised expertise in Linux hardening and best practices.
• Infrastructure services — pfSense firewall management and TrueNAS storage.
