Cloud Integrity Group · Architecture · Cost · Storage · Responsible AI
I help companies on AWS stay technically healthy: architecture that will hold, spend that is defensible, storage in the right class, AI that is used responsibly, and support work that does not live in one person's head.
Offers
Most first engagements are a written review. If the work is clear after that, we either build the AI system or keep a fractional TAM seat.
A· 2 weeks · fixed fee
A TAM-style pass over the environment. You get a written brief: what is fragile, what is overpaying, whether storage is in the right class, whether AI is being used safely, and the next 90 days in order.
B· 60–90 days · project
Stand up a voice or chat agent on your real content — product docs, runbooks, customer FAQs — so tier-1 questions stop landing on humans.
C· monthly retainer
A designated technical owner for companies that need TAM-style rigor without a full-time hire, or vendors that need a senior technical customer-success lead.
Review modules
Buy one module or all four in the same two-week window. Same format every time: finding, risk, recommendation, owner, effort.
Architecture
Reliability, security posture, networking, identity, data stores, and operational ownership. Not a recertification exam — a list of the few changes that reduce real incident risk.
Cost
Rightsizing, idle and orphaned spend, storage classes, commitment strategy, and “this is expensive because the architecture is.” Savings ranked by effort vs. dollars.
AI responsibility
Scored against the AWS responsible AI dimensions: fairness, explainability, privacy and security, safety, controllability, veracity and robustness, governance, and transparency.
Storage
Storage class mix, Intelligent-Tiering, lifecycle and retention policies, incomplete multipart uploads, replication, and access patterns. Recommendations ranked by dollars vs. retrieval risk — not a default “move everything to Glacier.”
Patterns
Illustrative mixes from TAM, cost, and AI-readiness reviews — the shape of the work, not a promised result. Your environment will differ; the brief is to put your actual numbers on this page.
Cost review
AI support
Responsible AI
Cost mix is share of recoverable waste, not share of the whole bill. AI scores are 0–100 against the AWS responsible-AI dimensions on a first look — governance and human control usually lag the model itself.
Fit
You are past “we lifted some servers” and into reliability, cost, security, and service adoption. You want someone who has already run architecture and cost reviews with enterprise customers.
Customers or internal teams ask the same things. The answers exist on a site or in Confluence. You want an agent that uses that content and knows when to escalate.
Key accounts need a designated technical owner: health, renewals, escalations, and a clean story for executives.
Engineers speak tickets. Executives speak risk and roadmap. Architecture discussions on Tuesday, C-suite reviews on Thursday.
Method
Clear owner. Written recommendations. Escalations handled in the open. No 40-page strategy decks that nobody implements.
Fit call
20 minutes. Is the problem real, am I the right person, and what does done look like.
One-page scope
Outcome, access needed, timeline, price, and what is out of bounds. Signed before work starts.
Working sessions
Weekly technical time plus a short written status: health, risks, decisions, next actions.
Handoff
Docs, owners, and a 30-day check so the system does not depend on me staying forever.

About
Experience as a Technical Account Manager II at AWS, working with enterprise customers on cost optimization, cloud infrastructure, security, storage, and AI/ML workloads. Before that, designated TAM for VxRail at Dell EMC, after years on Isilon/PowerScale support.
The through-line is ownership: keep the environment healthy, get the right people out of incidents, and turn tribal knowledge into a process someone else can run.
Contact
If it is a fit, you get a short reply and a time to talk. If it is not, I will say so quickly.
