Platform and DevOps Leadership
I help teams shape platform strategy, operating models, and delivery practices so infrastructure supports the business instead of slowing it down.
Software Engineer
Platform, SRE, and Infrastructure
I am a software engineer and the founder of Ashouri, where I work as Chief Engineer advising teams on platform engineering, SRE, infrastructure, and the use of AI in engineering organisations. My background includes software engineering in highly regulated payments infrastructure and other high-control environments.
Services
Senior technical leadership and consultancy
Cloud Security and Reliability
I assess cloud environments and operating practices, then recommend practical controls for access, backups, patching, secrets, networking, and monitoring.
Go Systems Engineering
I design and build backend services, internal tools, and automation systems in Go where clarity, maintainability, and operational fit matter.
Cloud-Native Advisory
I advise on cloud-native architecture, platform direction, and operational tradeoffs so systems stay practical, resilient, and easier to run.
Architecture and Reliability Reviews
I review systems and delivery practices to reduce avoidable complexity, improve confidence, and prioritize targeted change over expensive rewrites.
AI-Assisted Infrastructure Workflows
I help teams use LLMs in infrastructure and engineering workflows with validation, guardrails, and useful debugging loops.
About
Software engineering for platform and infrastructure
My background combines systems administration and software engineering, with a focus on platform, SRE, and infrastructure work. I build software for infrastructure and have worked across successive waves of infrastructure: virtualization, cloud computing, cloud-native platforms, and microservices.
I work best with founders and engineering teams that need senior technical leadership and consultancy across backend systems, infrastructure automation, reliability, and production operations.
Contact
If you need help with platform, SRE, or infrastructure work, get in touch.
I provide strategic engineering advice shaped by practical experience building and operating production systems and microservices at scale in highly regulated markets. The work is most useful when organisations need clear technical judgement across platform engineering, infrastructure automation, security hardening, delivery reliability, and software engineering in environments where reliability, auditability, and delivery discipline matter.
