Google Cloud Architecture, Optimization, and Platform Engineering— Canada & USA
TL;DR: End-to-end cloud architecture, DevSecOps, and platform engineering—built for real-world scale, security, and performance.
I help engineering teams design, modernize, and optimize Google Cloud environments — reducing unnecessary complexity, improving reliability, and building platforms that can scale securely over time.
My work spans cloud architecture, platform engineering, DevSecOps, cost optimization, and cloud modernization. Whether teams are migrating from on-prem, refactoring legacy systems, or managing growing operational complexity, I help identify what’s slowing them down and what to fix first.
Over my career, I’ve worked across some of North America’s most complex and regulated environments, including Royal Bank of Canada, Tangerine Bank, Telus Health, Loblaws, and Ford Motor Company. That experience shapes how I approach every engagement: security-first, operationally grounded, and built for scale.
With 20+ years in technology and 10+ years in cloud, I work directly with teams to make better architectural decisions early — so their cloud environments remain secure, maintainable, reliable, and cost-efficient as they grow.
If you’re looking for senior architectural guidance rather than a generic consulting firm, you’ll be working directly with me.
Is Your GCP Platform Holding You Back?
Most teams come to me with one of four situations:
- Architecture that can't keep up with growth — deployments are slowing down and every new service adds complexity.
- Security and compliance blocking your roadmap — SOC 2, PCI, or HIPAA requirements creating friction that shouldn't be there.
- Slow, unreliable deployments — fragile CI/CD pipelines where releases are stressful events, not routine operations.
- Legacy infrastructure blocking a cloud-native future — expensive to maintain, hard to scale, and overdue for modernisation.
If any of these sound familiar, here's how I can help:
