Cloud costs can be a major expense for businesses. I can help you reduce your cloud costs by up to 90% by identifying and optimizing areas of your infrastructure that are costing you money.

Relevant Work

Immerse VR - Globally Distributed VR Networking Platform

At Immerse VR, I was able to drastically reduce runtime costs by switching from EC2 instances to Docker containers, and by utilising ECS autoscaling. In addition, all non-critical staging and development services ran on spot-priced EC2 instances, allowing us to save thousands of pounds every month.

I performed a full audit of the infrastructure, identified and addressed a number of areas where we could save money.

Wi5 - Order & Pay System

At Wi5 I was able to orchestrate lightweight containers in AWS Fargate, using autoscaling to dynamically scale the number of containers based on traffic and keep costs down.

Global Entertainment Company - Membership & Accounts

Here, I was able to reduce infrastructure costs by migrating from a Kafka-based event-sourcing system to a simple database transaction system, and by reducing the number of microservices from 25+ to 5.

As a result of this work, I was able to leave knowing I had saved them multiple salaries worth of infrastructure costs, and that would continue to save them money every month for years to come.

Quiqup - Delivery Management Platform

At Quiqup I was able to reduce infrastructure costs by drastically reducing the memory footprint of their realtime services, by switching from Ruby on Rails to a lightweight Elixir Phoenix application.
