ServicesWhat we do

Four disciplines. One standard of delivery.
Not five. Not fifteen.

Focused
by design
01

AWS Architecture & Migration

From empty AWS account to multi-region, multi-account org — or the other direction, out of a legacy colo, with the servers still running. We'll show you the architecture diagram before we have a signed SOW.

DevOps & CI/CD Pipelines

PR merge → multi-region prod, in under 12 minutes, with the audit trail a regulator would accept. We wrote the observability stack during Ataccama's first week — not their eighteenth.

CloudFormation · Terraform
ArgoCD · GitOps

03

AI Integration & LLM Systems

Bedrock RAG that survived a Tier-1 bank's OSFI B-13 review in six weeks. If your data can't leave your VPC, we're built for you. If it can, we're probably overkill.

Big Data & Analytics

We replaced an aerospace OEM's brittle MSSQL with a lakehouse serving their engineers and their airline customers from the same Redshift layer. One pipeline. Two audiences. Zero production incidents since launch.

Mostly reserved-instance rationalization and idle cluster culls. Tactical, not magical.

Repeat & referral rate
100%

Across 12 engagements 2014–2020. Every one returned or referred the next.

How we work

We don't bid against four other agencies. If you're comparison-shopping on rate, we're the wrong call.

We don't staff juniors on senior work. Every engineer on your project has shipped AWS infrastructure before.

We don't do discovery without a cost estimate attached. You get the architecture plan and the budget in the same 48 hours.

We'll tell you when we're the wrong fit — on the first call, and we'll name someone better.

We want AI. Legal says one byte of customer data off-prem and it's a newspaper story.

Enterprise AI platform cleared through OSFI B-13 in six weeks. Zero data egress.

Engagement

  • Multi-layer RAG architecture on Bedrock — chunking, embeddings, and hybrid search tuned for financial-document retrieval.
  • Pre-processing pipeline detecting and masking 23 PII entity types via Comprehend — reversible for authorized workflows only.
  • Zero-trust access model: per-team IAM, Bedrock guardrails, CloudTrail + CloudWatch audit trail meeting regulator expectations.

Cloud · Data · BI

Every engine is streaming telemetry into a MSSQL database from 2009. Our analysts run reports overnight and pray.

Reports that used to run overnight now finish before the coffee is cold. 3× the telemetry on half the footprint.

Engagement

  • Replaced brittle MSSQL monolith with a cloud-native lakehouse — S3 as source of truth, Glue/PySpark, Redshift for analytics.
  • Event-driven IoT ingestion via Kinesis + Lambda, with batch reconciliation for backfill and historical replay.
  • Containerized microservices on ECS/EKS with CI/CD standardized across AWS and Azure DevOps hybrid environments.

DevOps · Platform

We sold the Fortune 500 account. We have ninety days to stand up a Toronto DevOps function. We don't have one.

Entire cloud operation built from zero. Eight major projects shipped in six months.

Engagement

  • Stood up the North American DevOps function from scratch — team structure, toolchain, delivery standards, onboarding playbooks.
  • Operated 25+ multi-tenant EKS clusters across Fortune 500 environments, each with isolated namespaces, RBAC, resource quotas.
  • Replaced manual releases with ArgoCD-based GitOps — declarative, auditable, fully automated from PR merge to production.

ProcessHow we work

From brief
to production, in four.

48 hrs
to first architecture plan
i.
Step 01

Discovery

48 hours from first call to architecture diagram + budget. If we can't deliver both in the same document, we'll refund the discovery fee.

ii.
Step 02

Architecture

Your team signs off before we provision a resource. Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK — whichever your org will still be running in five years.

iii.
Step 03

Build & Deploy

Everything ships under your AWS account, your IAM, your repo. We're contractors, not a SaaS. When we leave, you own every line of it.

iv.
Step 04

Handoff & Support

Three weeks of pair-runbooking with your on-call. Then we go — unless you retain us for continued builds or incident support.

when we have something to say
Field report · 14 min readNew

How we shipped a Bedrock RAG through a Big Five Canadian bank's compliance review in six weeks.

A walk-through of the architecture, the five PII controls we had to add mid-build, and the audit questions nobody warns you about. With sample IAM policies and the exact CloudTrail schema we handed over.

Against the AI pilot.

Why most enterprise AI pilots fail to ever reach production, and the three architectural decisions that separate the ones that do.

Notes · 4 minFeb 2026

The case for one AWS account per team, not per env.

Org-level isolation, blast-radius control, and why we haven't used the "dev/stg/prod account" pattern on a new engagement in three years.

Response

First call is thirty minutes, on a Tuesday or Thursday, with two engineers — not a sales rep. If we're the wrong fit we'll say so, and we'll name a firm who's the right one.
