Cloud IT Task Engagement
Sometimes you need a Devops. Sometimes you need a Site Reliability Engineer. Sometimes you need a Solutions Architect. And sometimes... you just need a cup of coffee and a quiet Friday evening with a good book. We get it! As such, the we are offering engagement models based on what matters most; what's needed now. Try us out for a week and see how we can augment your process.
We ask for a few things to get started.
- A 1 hour engagement meeting to evaluate needs and requirements and prepare the necessary scope of tasks to get started and identify onboarding needs.
- Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement.
- If we click; it's $500 to get started which counts towards the cost of any tier. The time to spin up and understand your platform takes effort, and we want to be very clear and dedicated in ensuring that initial deep dive into any product is complete.
Item (3) is a one-time initial fee to get us connected. After that initiation event, stopping and starting the subscriptions follows the task model below.
| Active Tasks | Model | Pricing |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Weekly | $750 / week |
| 2 | Weekly | $1250 / week |
| 3 | Monthly | $5000* / month |
| ? | Monthly | $7500* / month |
* Montly Subscription: requires half up front to ensure resource availability and scheduling as this is a substantial dedicated engagement
* ?? Not sure what you need, we can help with that too
What you get from us? We are a huge fan of deliverables.
- Documentation of all actions and paths
- Weekly checkpoint reports
- Suggested backlog items that we uncover, such as TLS 1, TLS 1.1 mitigation, aged ciphers, DNS health, network concerns, etc
- Disaster Recovery review: Concerns or Cheers

You will get a timely and engaged analysis of your project from a professional with over 13 years of architecting, building and maintaining production systems in Amazon Web Services, Google Compute Engine, and On-Premise. That experience is backed by 23 years of time-in-seat administering systems from desktops to server rooms to the cloud, and even the bottom of the ocean.
What I will offer you is access to that deep knowledge lake of troubleshooting and design experience. I will do my best to find what's good and bad about your project and deliver those findings in a clear and actionable manner.
I am a huge fan of AWS's "Well-Architected-Framework". Their community-driven approach to a complete cloud or on-premise system of analysis ticks all my engineering boxes. In those 23 years of problem-solving in IT, the AWS Framework has regularly found and quick-stepped solutions to issues that brought down systems, caused loss and burned out projects. I'm offering myself to help apply that framework through the lens of my understanding for your platform.
