Every dev shop has someone who passed SA-Associate. Few have architects who've run a 50-account landing zone, cut a $400K AWS bill in half, or led a 200-server migration without a single failed cutover. We do. SA-Pro certified, multi-region, and used to working in your security framework.

Six engagement patterns that cover most enterprise AWS programs. Pick the one that matches the cloud problem in front of you.
Six pillars, formal HRI scoring, prioritized remediation roadmap. Optionally WAR-funded through AWS Partner programs. Output: scorecard + 90-day improvement plan.
Control Tower, AFT, Organizations OU strategy, IAM Identity Center, centralized logging, network hub via Transit Gateway or Cloud WAN, guardrails via SCPs and Config rules.
Discovery → assessment → wave planning → MGN/DMS execution → cutover. From on-prem, VMware, Azure, or GCP. We’ve done 200+ server waves with zero failed cutovers.
Cost allocation tagging, abandoned-resource cleanup, right-sizing with Compute Optimizer, Savings Plans / RI strategy, S3 lifecycle, NAT/data-egress audit. 25–45% reduction in 30 days.
Multi-account CI/CD with CodePipeline / GitHub Actions, Terraform / CDK platform modules, EKS / ECS landing patterns, observability stack, and developer self-service portal.
Transit Gateway hub-and-spoke, Cloud WAN for global mesh, Network Firewall / Gateway Load Balancer, VPC endpoints strategy, GuardDuty / Security Hub / Detective integration.
The AWS catalogue has 200+ services. We're fluent in the ones that actually ship to production — and we'll tell you when you don't need a managed service for it.
We'd rather show you a Well-Architected scorecard than a sales deck. By Friday of week one you have the assessment, the gaps, and the roadmap.
Senior SA-Pro architect runs the WAR with your team. Six pillars, HRI scoring, cost analysis with Trusted Advisor / CUR data. Scorecard + remediation plan delivered Friday.
Implement the 3–5 highest-impact items — typically tagging policy, abandoned-resource cleanup, Savings Plans purchase, and IAM Identity Center rollout. Measurable gains in week one.
Architect + engineers deliver landing zone, migration wave, FinOps overhaul, or security baseline. Two-week sprints with biweekly steerco against your roadmap.
Transition to fractional CCoE — 1–3 senior architects on retainer for new account vending, design reviews, cost governance, and platform evolution.
Three engagement models. Free WAR because that's how we'd want to be sold to.

Senior SA-Pro + your platform team. Six pillars, HRI scoring, cost + security + reliability analysis. Roadmap delivered. No commitment.
8–24 weeks
$25K – $200K
Landing zone, migration wave, FinOps overhaul, or security baseline. Architect + engineers, fixed scope, fixed price.
Monthly retainer
$25 – $65/hr
Steady-state. 1–3 senior architects on retainer for design reviews, account vending, cost governance, and evolution.
We bring senior architects with deep production scars — not certifications collected last quarter.
Every senior holds SA-Pro plus a specialty certification — and active production experience to match.
We design for cost from day one. Tagging, Savings Plans, and right-sizing aren’t a Q3 cleanup project.
Terraform or CDK from the first commit. No click-ops. Your architecture is reproducible and reviewable.
We’ve seen NAT egress horror stories, cross-AZ ELB bills, and IAM disasters. That’s why we design around them.
Yes. Every senior on the bench holds AWS Solutions Architect Professional (SA-Pro). Most also hold a specialty cert: Advanced Networking, Security, Data Analytics, or Machine Learning. Our principal architects hold SA-Pro plus DevOps Pro plus a specialty. We carry active certifications and rotate with each major AWS release cycle.
Yes. We run Well-Architected Reviews against the six pillars (Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance, Cost Optimization, Sustainability) using the AWS Well-Architected Tool. We document HRIs (high-risk issues), prioritise remediation, and stand up the Trusted Advisor / Compute Optimizer dashboards your account needs to keep the review current. We’re also AWS Partner-aligned for WAR-funded engagements where applicable.
Yes. AWS Control Tower with customizations, AFT for account vending, AWS Organizations OU strategy, SSO via IAM Identity Center (formerly AWS SSO), centralized logging to a security tooling account, network architecture (Transit Gateway hub-and-spoke or Cloud WAN), and guardrails via Control Tower controls + Service Control Policies + Config rules. Per CIS, NIST, or your custom framework.
Yes — and it’s where most engagements start. Typical month-1 wins: tag-driven cost allocation, kill abandoned EBS volumes / ELBs / NAT gateways, right-size EC2 with Compute Optimizer, switch steady workloads to Savings Plans / RIs, move dev/test to Spot, S3 lifecycle policies and Intelligent-Tiering, CloudFront log retention sanity, RDS storage tuning. Typical 25–45% bill reduction in 30 days with zero application impact.
Yes. Application Discovery Service for inventory, MGN (formerly CloudEndure) for lift-and-shift, DMS for databases, Mainframe Modernization for COBOL/IMS, and re-architecture work for cloud-native rebuilds. We’ve led migrations of 200+ servers from on-prem, full vCenter farms via VMware Cloud on AWS, and re-platform work from Azure or GCP to AWS for cost or compliance reasons.
Yes. SCP-driven preventative controls, IAM Identity Center for human access, IAM Roles Anywhere and IRSA for workloads, KMS key strategy with multi-region keys and grants, Security Hub aggregation across accounts, GuardDuty + Detective for threat detection, AWS Config conformance packs, Macie for data classification, and Inspector for vulnerability scanning. We align to your compliance framework — SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, FedRAMP — and support audit evidence collection.
Senior SA-Pro architects from $25/hr, principal architects (SA-Pro + DevOps Pro + specialty) from $45/hr, and dedicated Cloud Center of Excellence pods from $20K/month. Most engagements run as a fixed-scope program (landing zone, migration wave, FinOps overhaul, security hardening) at $25K–$200K, or fractional architect on retainer. Free Well-Architected Review before any commitment.
We'll send a senior SA-Pro architect, run the WAR with your team, and hand you HRI scoring plus a 90-day remediation plan by Friday.
