Deep Seas

AI systems, architected to scale.

Cloud architecture, workflow and system design, and AI, both as a tool and inside what you ship. One engineer, working with AI agents I direct and review.

Station 01 · Specialties

What I'm good at.

Cloud architecture

How it's built, how it scales, and what it costs to run.

Workflow and system design

How work and data move through your systems and your team, and where they get stuck.

Building with AI

AI as a tool in how the work gets done, and AI as an application inside what you ship.

station 01 · specialties

Good at three things.

cloud architecture. workflow and system design. ai, as the tool and as the product.

Station 02 · Boundary layer

The thermocline

Below this depth the water changes temperature abruptly, and sonar stops telling you the truth.

Everything above it is the pitch: prepared, checked, and written for someone deciding whether to work with me. Everything below it is the instrument feed.

Keep going.

station 02 · boundary layer

Signal break

you crossed it.

the pitch stops here. what follows is the audit, the build and the scapegoat, written the way I actually talk about them.

Station 03 · How to work with me

The audit first.

I investigate and hand you a plan. Build it with me if you want. Scapegoat is a joke.

Audit

I investigate what you have and hand you a plan: what's wrong, what to fix first, and what each fix costs.

Step one · two weeks

Build

After the audit, if you want, I build what the plan calls for and run it, for three, six, nine or twelve months at a time. For new projects, for working inside your team, and for paying down tech debt.

After the audit · 3, 6, 9 or 12 months

Scapegoat

Scapegoat as a service. When something goes wrong, I take the blame. It is a joke, and it is not for sale.

Not for sale · the whole joke

station 03 · how to work with me

Audit first.

always. build if you want it. scapegoat is a joke.

Audit

investigate. write it down. what's wrong, what to fix, what it costs.

Build

after the audit, if you want: the plan, built, then run. new projects, inside your team, tech debt.

build.own({months: [3, 6, 9, 12]})

Scapegoat

Station 04 · Every engagement starts here

An audit and a plan, in two weeks.

One call, two weeks of investigation, and a plan you can act on with or without me.

Cloud Bill Audit

"Our AWS bill doubled and nobody can say why."

Incident Investigation

"It broke, it might break again, and the board wants to know why."

Architecture and Scale Review

"Will this hold when we 10x? Are we built right?"

01

The call

A thirty-minute call.

Day 1
02

The investigation

I investigate: the repo, the cloud bill, the workflows, the AI pipeline, the roadmap.

Days 2–13
03

The plan

What I found and the evidence for it, two costed versions (the least you can do, and the right way to do it), what is not worth doing, and a punch list anyone can execute.

Day 14
04

After

The full audit fee is credited to a Build signed within 60 days. If not, the plan is yours.
