01The symptoms
If any of these sound familiar
Most teams arrive here recognising three or four. None of them are unusual, and none of them are cheap to leave alone.
Your former agency still has access keys you never revoked.
Your entire infrastructure depends on one engineer. What happens when they quit, or go on holiday?
Your dev team is shipping features while AWS alerts pile up unread.
A recent outage cost you customers, revenue, and a lost weekend.
If someone asked you to prove your AWS setup is secure right now, you would not know where to start.
02The offer
Three ways to hand it over
Every plan carries a guaranteed incident response time. Pick the one that matches how much of the problem you want to stop thinking about.
SLA Standard
From $300/month
Monitoring, incident response and monthly cost review for a stable production workload.
4-hour response
AWS Operations Partner
From $1,500/month
Everything in Standard, plus cost management against a target, pipeline ownership and a direct Slack channel.
2-hour response
Fractional CTO
From $4,000/month
Infrastructure leadership — roadmap, security posture, on-call and hiring guidance — without a full-time hire.
1-hour response
03How it works
From first call to owned infrastructure
Three steps. The first one is free and you keep the output either way.
- 01
Free AWS audit
I review your account — spend, architecture, security posture and failure points — and send you the findings in writing. No charge, and yours to keep whether or not we go further.
No charge - 02
We agree a plan
If it makes sense, we pick the tier that fits what you actually need and agree what is covered, what the response times are, and what the first month focuses on. If the audit turns up nothing worth paying a retainer over, I will tell you that instead.
- 03
I own your AWS
Monitoring goes in, the known problems get fixed in priority order, and you stop being the person who finds out about incidents from a customer.
04The difference
Not an agency. Not a helpdesk.
You are hiring one senior engineer who learns your system, not a rotating pool working from a ticket queue.
What you get
- Included: The same engineer every time, who already knows your architecture
- Included: A direct channel — Slack or email, not a portal
- Included: Someone who can change the application code when that is where the fix belongs
- Included: Written findings and reports you can forward unedited
- Included: Work documented in Terraform as it happens
What you do not get
- Not included: An account manager relaying questions to someone technical
- Not included: A senior engineer in the pitch and a junior on the work
- Not included: Tickets closed on a timer rather than on a fix
- Not included: A twelve-month contract to get started
- Not included: Findings locked in a portal you lose access to when you leave

What clients say
Mukesh is a standout developer who played a critical role in architecting our Laravel and AWS infrastructure. He successfully translated complex, multi-functional operational requirements into a robust and scalable system. His technical expertise and ability to build for high-stability environments are exceptional. Beyond the technical, he brings a down-to-earth approach that I value, a rare quality in these complex architectural cases. I highly recommend him for any large-scale projects.
Mukesh has been excellent to work with. I highly recommend him as an AWS consultant and programmer.
07FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions that come up before people get in touch.
How does the monthly retainer work?
You pick a tier, we agree what is covered, and I take ownership of your AWS from there — monitoring, incidents, cost and security. Billing is monthly. There is no long contract; if it is not working you give me notice and I hand over documentation and access cleanly.
What's included at each tier?
Every tier includes monitoring and alerting, incident response inside a guaranteed window, cost review, security checks, backup verification and a monthly report. Higher tiers add cost management against an agreed target, pipeline ownership, architecture reviews, and at the top tier, roadmap and security-posture ownership with on-call coverage. The full breakdown is on the AWS Management page.
Do you need root access to our AWS account?
No. I work from a dedicated IAM role scoped to what the engagement actually requires, created by you, and you can see and revoke it at any time. Root credentials stay with you and should never be shared with anyone, including me. If a specific task needs a permission the role does not have, I ask for it explicitly and tell you why.
What if we already have a DevOps person?
Then you may not need me, and I will say so on the call. Where this does work alongside an existing engineer is as cover — someone who knows the system for holidays, on-call rotation and the periods when they are heads-down on something else, or as a second opinion on architecture and cost decisions that are hard to make alone.
How do we start?
With the free audit. You give me read access, I review the account and send written findings within a few days. That conversation tells both of us whether an ongoing arrangement makes sense, and you keep the findings either way.
