Early-stage CTO for AI-first startups, trading systems and pre-raise foundations
Best for: solo founders and pre-seed / seed startups · teams building trading or market-data systems · B2B AI vendors rolling out to enterprise sales teams.

Selected cases from these experts’ profiles.
A seed startup runs on AWS that grew by clicking in the console. The expert reviews accounts and environments, IAM, networking, data stores, deployment and cost.
A ranked list of risks (security, cost, reliability) and a target setup the team can move to step by step.
A solo founder built an MVP with AI coding tools and wants to put it in front of paying users on AWS. The expert checks secrets, auth, data storage, error handling, deployment and cost.
A fix list ranked by risk, and a minimal, repeatable deployment.
Cloud spend had grown without anyone owning it. One of our experts re-architected the AWS setup: consolidated serverless functions, optimized the database, scheduled non-production environments to shut down off-hours, and added observability. Outcome: cloud cost down about 30%.
The cloud bill grows faster than traffic.
Review node pools, autoscaling (including Karpenter), idle and non-production environments, data transfer and storage, and how capacity changes are managed.
A prioritized savings plan with the risk of each change to peak capacity spelled out.
