Part of Distributed Systems & Bare-Metal/GPU Architecture
Architecture Review & Fractional CTO
Senior judgment when the decision is expensive: cloud versus bare metal, build versus buy, vendor selection and security posture.
Some decisions set your cost structure for years. We review the whole system, write down the trade-offs and tell you plainly what we would do, then stay on as fractional technical leadership if you need it.
What that includes
- Architecture review
- Design and cost review across GCP, AWS, Azure and bare metal, with a sequenced migration path.
- Technology selection
- Build-versus-buy and vendor evaluation with the trade-offs in writing.
- Security and compliance readiness
- Practical hardening and evidence ahead of SOC 2, HIPAA or a customer security review.
- Fractional CTO
- Ongoing technical leadership for teams that need the judgment without a full-time hire.
What you end up with
- A documented architecture with a decision record behind it.
- Infrastructure spend reduced or justified line by line.
- A remediation plan ranked by risk.
