Comprehensive computer systems design — documented, validated, and built for production reliability from day one.
Formal System Design Documents covering every layer: hardware specification, network topology, storage architecture, and compute planning. Includes logical and physical diagrams, component specifications with vendor evaluation, security boundary definitions, failure mode analysis, and HA/DR design with quantified RTO and RPO objectives.
Middleware, API layers, message fabrics, and event-driven architectures that unify heterogeneous platforms. Integration audits, OpenAPI specifications, event stream architecture, ETL/ELT pipeline engineering, and legacy protocol adaptation with formal interface contracts validated under realistic load.
Platform-agnostic across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Infrastructure-as-Code via Terraform, Pulumi, and CloudFormation. Kubernetes production configuration, CI/CD pipeline architecture, observability stack design, and cost optimization with FinOps governance.
Threat modeling with STRIDE and attack trees. Zero-trust network architecture with microsegmentation. IAM, SSO, MFA, and privileged access management. SIEM architecture with detection engineering. Incident response planning and tabletop facilitation. Compliance for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.
Vendor-neutral strategic guidance grounded in engineering reality. Architecture assessment and modernization planning, technology investment prioritization, M&A technical due diligence covering architecture quality and security posture, and digital transformation roadmapping with phased implementation plans.
Ongoing operational management with contractual SLAs: 24/7 monitoring, patch management, backup verification, performance tuning, capacity planning, and incident response with root cause analysis. Technology training programs that build internal capability.
