Sound Familiar?
You need DevOps help, not a full-time engineer
"Our CI/CD is held together with duct tape"
Manual deployments, broken releases, and that sinking feeling every time you push to production.
"AWS bill keeps growing, no idea why"
Your cloud costs are spiraling but you're not sure what's eating the budget or how to fix it.
"Kubernetes feels like overkill but we're stuck"
Your K8s cluster is unstable, configurations are a mess, and nobody knows how to fix it properly.
"I just want to ship features, not fight infra"
You're spending more time on infrastructure than building your product and serving customers.
→ You need DevOps help, not a full-time engineer.

Hi, I'm Alan
20+ years shipping code.
Now I help indie founders scale without the enterprise complexity.
Why I Focus on Indie Founders
After two decades building infrastructure for companies of all sizes, I've seen the same pattern: indie founders get stuck trying to implement enterprise solutions when they just need something that works.
- Built infra for teams from 1 → 200+ people
- Bootstrapped founder myself - I get the constraints
- 20+ years shipping code across different scales
- Focus on indie founder needs - lightweight & practical
"Every template and solution I offer has been battle-tested in real production environments. No theoretical stuff."

Common Questions
Everything indie founders ask before booking
Why not just hire a full-time DevOps engineer?
+A senior DevOps engineer costs $120k-180k/year + equity + benefits. That's $10k-15k/month before you even know if they're a good fit. My services give you enterprise-level expertise on-demand, without the commitment or overhead. Pay only for what you actually need, when you need it.
How do I know this will work for my specific tech stack?
+I've worked with 100+ different tech stacks over 20 years. The principles are the same: reliable deployments, cost optimization, and stability. Before starting any project, we'll have a 15-min call to ensure it's a good fit. No surprises.
What if I'm not satisfied with the work?
+100% money-back guarantee. No questions asked. I'm committed to over-delivering on every project. If you're not thrilled with the results, I'll refund every penny and we part as friends.
Can you help if we're already using AWS/GCP/Azure?
+Absolutely. I'm cloud-agnostic and have deep experience with AWS, GCP, and Azure. The optimization principles are universal. In fact, multi-cloud setups often have the biggest cost-saving opportunities.
What happens after the 7-day delivery?
+You get comprehensive documentation, recorded walkthrough videos, and 30 days of async support (Slack/email). The goal is to make you self-sufficient. Need ongoing help? We can discuss retainer options, but most indie founders don't need it.
