// platform engineering consultant
Your developers ship
faster. Without breaking prod.
I build the platform and pipelines that make your deployments a non-event — fewer incidents, less waiting, a team that runs it on its own once I leave.
// 01 — the problem
Shipping should be boring.
At your company, it's still stressful.
Every release is an event
Manual deploys, no-Friday rules: the pace is set by fear, not the product.
Incidents wake the team up at night
No useful alerting, no reliable rollback — your best engineers spend nights fighting fires.
The cloud bill climbs with no explanation
Forgotten resources, no tagging: the bill slips and nobody knows why.
Devs wait on the infra team
A new environment? A ticket and three days' wait. No self-service.
Servers nobody understands anymore
Manual config, no IaC, knowledge in one head: reproducing the environment is archaeology.
A vendor who creates dependency
An opaque platform you can't run without the vendor. You're captive.
These symptoms share one root cause: the absence of a platform. My job is to build it with you — then hand you the keys.
// 02 — what I do
Platform engineering,
from audit to autonomy.
I start from your real bottleneck and build the minimum that unlocks the most velocity.
Internal Developer Platform
A self-service foundation where your teams deploy and provision on their own. Golden paths, templates, guardrails.
CI/CD & GitOps
Fast, reproducible pipelines from commit to prod. One-click rollback.
Kubernetes & Infrastructure as Code
Versioned, reproducible infra: right-sized clusters, identical environments from dev to prod.
Observability & SRE
Metrics, logs and traces that matter. Alerting that wakes you for real reasons, a shrinking MTTR.
FinOps & cloud cost
Visibility, tagging, right-sizing: often 20–40% off the bill, with no loss of reliability.
Platform audit & roadmap
An honest assessment of your infra and DevEx, with a roadmap prioritized by impact.
// 03 — how I work
A consultant who leaves.
A team that stays autonomous.
Audit
1 to 2 weeks
I look at deployments, infra and DevEx: DORA metrics, interviews, a review of what exists. You leave with a clear diagnosis.
Roadmap
included in the audit
A roadmap prioritized by impact and effort. We decide together what matters.
Implementation
fixed-price or time & materials
I build with your team, in useful increments from week one. Everything documented and versioned.
Handover
from day one
Pairing, docs, runbooks as we go — so your team operates the platform without me.

// 04 — results
We measure, so we improve.
I run every engagement with DORA metrics, the standard for engineering performance. Figures below come from DORA research.

// what you get
Commitments, not promises.
A single point of contact
You talk to the person with hands in the cluster. No middleman.
Everything is documented
Versioned infra, runbooks, written decisions. You keep control, even after I leave.
Value every week
We ship useful increments — no six-month tunnel before the first result.
And to judge for yourself, my code is public:
K8s Lab
AyenaCode/k8s-platform open source · MITAn interactive Kubernetes lab built end to end: a real k3s cluster in a container, an in-browser terminal, a Go backend, a React SPA, one-command install, CI. Bilingual, driven by klab (CLI).
