About

Hi, I'm Jordan.

I'm a multi-cloud engineer. I architect and build infrastructure on AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, following each provider's best practices and shaping the result around the business it serves.

Featured solutions

A secure foundation on every major cloud.

One landing zone per provider, each built as code, deployed live, and torn down. Select one to see how it was built.

AWS

AWS landing zone

Eight separate accounts for security, shared services, applications, and experiments, with rules set once at the top.

Microsoft Azure

Azure landing zone

A foundation for sensitive data where every new subscription inherits the security and tagging rules automatically.

Google Cloud

Google Cloud landing zone

A full organization built as code, where nobody holds permanent admin rights and only signed software runs.

Multicloud developer platform

Help your team get from idea to launch.

A shared platform that makes it easier to launch and manage applications across cloud providers. A developer fills in a short form and gets a code repository, a delivery pipeline, a database, and a running service, set up the approved way.

Services

Services and practices

From moving you into the cloud to keeping it secure, affordable, and running. Each card links to a solution where you can see it in action.

Migration

Cloud migration

Moving applications and data into the cloud, or from one provider to another, with the secure foundation, access rules, and a rollback plan in place before anything moves.

See it in, , and landing zones, built to receive workloads

Modernization

Cloud modernization

Updating older systems to run in containers or serverless services, so they scale on demand and cost less to run.

See it in,

Kubernetes

Kubernetes

Clusters on all three clouds, run from Git, with network rules between services, runtime threat detection, and policies that block unsafe workloads before they start.

See it in, , ,

DevOps

CI/CD

Continuous integration and delivery. Every change is tested and deployed automatically, so releases are small and routine.

See it in, ,

DevOps

Infrastructure as code

Cloud resources defined in versioned files, so any environment can be rebuilt exactly, reviewed, or removed on demand.

DevOps

GitOps

The code repository is the source of truth. Only reviewed, approved changes reach the live system.

See it in,

DevOps

DevSecOps

Security scans run inside the pipeline, catching leaked passwords and vulnerable software before release.

See it in,

Governance

Policy as code

Company rules written as automated checks that approve or reject changes on their own, mapped to standards such as CIS, SOC 2, and HIPAA.

See it in,

Security

Least privilege

People and systems get only the access they need, often for a limited time, with no long-lived passwords or keys.

See it in,

FinOps

Cost visibility

Every resource labeled with an owner and cost center, waste surfaced, and expensive changes caught before they reach the bill.

See it in,

SRE

Observability

Metrics, logs, and dashboards that show what a system is doing and why, before customers notice a problem.

See it in,

SRE

SLOs and error budgets

A reliability target, such as 99.9% uptime, with alerts that fire when the system is on track to miss it.

See it in

SRE

Automated failover

When a server, database, or region fails, traffic moves to a healthy copy without manual work.

See it in,

SRE

Incident runbooks

Written, often automated, steps for responding to known problems, so recovery does not depend on one person.

See it in, ,

SRE

Postmortems and decision records

Every failure and major choice written down with its cause and fix, so it does not happen twice.

See it in,

Automation

Golden images

Pre-hardened server templates, so every new machine starts secure and identical.
