Build it. Defend it.
Your DevOps and compliance, one person.
Most teams hire a cloud/DevOps contractor and a compliance consultant, then own the hand-off gap between them. I’m the rare engineer who does both — I build your AWS/Kubernetes platform and pass the SOC 2, PCI DSS and ISO 27001 audit. CISA · CISM · AWS Pro · 16+ years.
Two vendors’ work, one accountable owner
DevOps & cloud engineering
- AWS architecture, EKS/ECS, Terraform IaC, GitOps CI/CD
- Observability & SRE: Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, DR
- Cost optimization, drift remediation, platform reliability
Compliance & audit
- SOC 2 Type 1/2, PCI DSS v4.0, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR
- Gap assessment, control mapping, evidence automation
- Auditor liaison through to a zero-finding clean report
Why one owner beats two
- Controls engineered into the platform, not bolted on after
- No finger-pointing across the engineering / compliance gap
- The person who built it is the person who defends it
How we work together
- Fractional retainer for ongoing ownership
- Secure landing zone — audit-ready foundation
- SOC 2, PCI DSS, ISO 27001 or HIPAA for framework-specific work

Questions buyers ask
What does a DevOps and compliance consultant do?
I both build your cloud infrastructure — AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD — and own its compliance across SOC 2, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, HIPAA and GDPR. One person builds the platform and defends it in the audit, so there is no gap between engineering and compliance.
Can one person really do both DevOps and compliance?
Yes — that is the point. I’m a CISA-certified auditor and an AWS Solutions Architect Professional with 16+ years. Most teams pay a cloud contractor and a separate compliance consultant and then own the hand-off risk between them; I collapse both roles into one accountable owner.
How do you work with our existing auditor?
I prepare the environment and the evidence, map controls to your framework, and act as the technical liaison through the audit — so your auditor gets clean, organized evidence and you walk in without surprises.
Do you work project-based or on a retainer?
Both. Fixed-scope engagements like an audit-readiness sprint or a secure landing zone, or an ongoing fractional cloud & compliance architect retainer for continuous ownership.
One owner for engineering and compliance.
