Get in touch

Got an AWS estate that has drifted, a database creaking under load, or a platform that needs taming and automating? That is the kind of work I like. Thirty years of building infrastructure that has to stay up, and I am still hands-on.

What I am a good fit for

  • AWS architecture and migrations – multi-region, multi-account, Well-Architected, with cost firmly in view
  • Platform engineering, DevOps and SRE – Terraform, Ansible and Jenkins automation, CI/CD, self-service infrastructure
  • MySQL and Aurora at scale – performance tuning, replication, high availability, and cost reduction
  • AI-assisted delivery – agentic coding and multi-agent workflows woven into real engineering, not bolted on

How I work

Outside-IR35 through my own company, Analysis by Design Ltd. Remote or hybrid (two or more days from home), UK and EU travel fine. Open to senior contract work, and to selective advisory or part-time engagements alongside it. 5x AWS certified, HashiCorp Terraform Associate, SC/DV eligible.
