What I'm Building
Applying Juval Löwy's "Righting Software" to AWS serverless. System examples with TypeScript/CDK. Open source.
My Philosophy
"Extreme Ownership applied to cloud architecture: if it's in your world, own it."
I don't hand clients diagrams and walk away. I build the PoC, prove it works, and make sure the team owns it after I leave.
Discover → Prove → Teach.
How I Work With Clients
I don't just advise — I build. My engagement pattern:
1. Discover — understand what you're actually trying to solve (not what you think the problem is)
2. Prove — build a PoC that demonstrates the path works
3. Teach — hand off knowledge so your team owns it
If you need someone who will own the outcome (not just the deliverable), let's talk.
