Book your FREE 30 min intro callYour latest "DevOps hire" isn't working out.And now your entire operation is paying the price.
Deployments that should take minutes stretch into multi-day ordeals. Cloud bills that made sense last quarter are suddenly bleeding money—up 40%, 60%, sometimes doubling with no clear explanation. Your best engineers (the ones you cannot afford to lose) are spending their nights debugging infrastructure fires instead of shipping the features that actually move the needle.
Meanwhile, your juniors sit idle, waiting for guidance that never materializes. Your seniors are drowning in a tsunami of alerts they can't prioritize. And every standup meeting, you find yourself explaining why "next week" has become your most overused phrase.
This isn't on you. You hired someone into a role that actually demanded leadership, mentorship, and cross-team collaboration—not just another senior engineer who can write YAML.
68 Hours Lost Per Month
Your team could be hemorrhaging nearly 3 full weeks every month on broken builds, babysitting semi-automatic deployments, and "works on my machine" debugging sessions.
Common anti-patterns I've observed across teams struggling with deployment processes, all fixable by optimising CI/CD pipelines effectively.
$50K+ Per Hour in Flames
In fintech and high-transaction platforms, a single production outage doesn't just cost money—it torches customer trust, violates SLAs, and triggers penalty clauses that can sink an entire quarter.
One client watched $240K evaporate in a 4-hour incident that proper monitoring would have prevented.
The Quiet Exodus
Juniors freeze up, afraid to touch anything. Seniors burn out and start fielding recruiter calls. Delivery confidence collapses. You're not building a team—you're managing a slow-motion resignation wave.
63% of engineers cite "chaotic infrastructure" as a top reason for leaving in exit interviews (DevOps Institute, 2024).
You don't need another DevOps hire.You need someone who can lead the way out.
Not just another engineer. A DevOps leader who brings clarity to chaos, mentors your team, and delivers results you can measure.
How I Help Teams Deliver
From strategy to implementation, I provide comprehensive DevOps guidance that transforms how your team builds and deploys software.
DevOps Strategy & Planning
Transform chaos into predictable delivery — from boardroom to build pipeline.
OUTCOMES
- ✅Cut release cycles from weeks to days — CI/CD optimization that ships faster
Result: Predictable releases. Reduced chaos. A roadmap your board trusts.
Trusted by Den Norske Bank, Norway's premier financial organisation to move their backend systems into the Azure cloud, slashing their SQL Server costs, with saving of > $10M
Infrastructure as Code
15+ years of experience turning infrastructure into repeatable, scalable code.
OUTCOMES
- ✅Design multi-cloud strategies that balance power and portability — AWS, Azure, GCP
Result: Infrastructure that scales with you. Zero snowflakes. Total confidence.
Built IKEA's multi-cloud Kubernetes and Serverless reference architectures, now the standard across their global engineering organization, eliminating inconsistent and duplicate infrastructure work and accelerating time-to-market for hundreds of developers.
CI/CD Pipeline Optimization
Turn your release bottleneck into a competitive advantage.
OUTCOMES
- ✅Slash deployment times and eliminate manual builds — fully automated pipelines that just work
Result: Daily deployments. Happy engineers. Releases that don't wake you up at 3am.
Trusted by RWE Supply & Trading to transform 50+ trading applications from manual builds to fully automated pipelines — eliminating 90%+ of deployment failures and saving thousands of man-hours in a critical, highly-regulated environment.
Monitoring & Observability
See what's breaking before your users do — and know exactly why.
OUTCOMES
- ✅Build centralized logging with Elastic Stack — Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana for full visibility
Result: Proactive teams. Faster incident response. Issues caught before they cascade.
Deployed Elastic Stack monitoring and log aggregation for Mercedes-Benz development teams, cutting incident resolution time by 70% and preventing costly production outages.
Security & Compliance
Embed security into every layer — before auditors, attackers, or incidents force your hand.
OUTCOMES
- ✅Integrate OWASP security checks into pipelines — vulnerabilities caught in CI, not production
Result: Pass audits. Sleep soundly. Ship fast without cutting corners.
Made IBM Nordcloud's Azure Cloud Foundation product CIS and ISO 27001 compliant, enabling them to sell into regulated industries and win enterprise contracts previously out of reach.
Team Training & Mentoring
Turn your team into the DevOps talent you wish you'd hired.
OUTCOMES
- ✅Upskill engineers on Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD best practices — hands-on, practical training
Result: Teams that solve problems without you. Engineers who grow. Knowledge that scales.
Mentored 8+ junior architects at Den Norske Bank, Norway's premier financial institution, while providing executive summaries that bridged technical teams and leadership — reducing reliance on expensive external consultants and building lasting internal capability.

Common questions from teams considering DevOps leadership. Don't see your question? Let's discuss it in our intro call.
Absolutely. I've worked extensively with DNB (Norway's premier bank), RWE Supply & Trading (highly-regulated energy trading), and helped IBM Nordcloud achieve CIS and ISO 27001 compliance for their Azure Cloud Foundation. I understand the unique compliance requirements, audit trails, and security standards that financial services demand.
My engagement model is designed for maximum ROI. Most teams see 3-5x return within the first quarter through reduced downtime, faster deployments, and eliminated manual processes. Investment typically ranges from £8K-15K per month for comprehensive leadership, with clear milestones and measurable outcomes. I provide detailed ROI projections before we start.
You'll see measurable improvements within 2-4 weeks. I typically deliver: Week 1-2: Immediate pipeline fixes and process improvements. Week 3-4: Team training and documentation. Month 2-3: Full automation and culture transformation. Most clients report 50%+ reduction in deployment failures within the first month.
I enhance and upskill your existing team—never replace. My approach is to mentor your juniors into productive mid-level engineers, reduce bottlenecks for your seniors, and create documentation that prevents knowledge silos. You keep your institutional knowledge while gaining enterprise-grade DevOps practices.
Perfect—I'm cloud-agnostic and work with your existing infrastructure. I've architected multi-cloud strategies for IKEA, helped DNB migrate to Azure, and optimized AWS environments for Mercedes-Benz. I'll optimize what you have rather than forcing a complete rebuild.
Clear metrics from day one: deployment frequency, lead time, mean time to recovery (MTTR), and system reliability. I provide monthly reports showing exactly how your DevOps maturity has improved. Most clients see 80%+ reduction in deployment time and 90%+ fewer production incidents within 3 months.
I've successfully mentored distributed teams across Europe, including remote work with DNB's Norwegian team and Mercedes-Benz's global development teams. I use collaborative tools, create comprehensive documentation, and establish clear communication protocols that work across time zones.
Both. I can do intensive 3-6 month transformations to get you self-sufficient, or provide ongoing leadership for teams that prefer continuous guidance. Many clients start with intensive engagement, then transition to monthly check-ins and strategic planning sessions.
I offer focused interventions too. Whether it's fixing your CI/CD pipeline, implementing monitoring, or just training your team on specific tools—I can start with your most critical pain point and build from there. No need to overhaul everything at once.
Security is built into every recommendation. I've helped IBM Nordcloud achieve CIS compliance, implemented OWASP security scanning for RWE's trading systems, and designed compliance-ready architectures for financial services. Every solution includes audit trails, policy-as-code, and security-first design principles.
