[Draft note for Manuel]: pulled directly from your "Platform" stack card on Tech Profile (8 years, AWS/Kubernetes/Docker/CI-CD) — that capability was shown as part of your stack but never offered as its own service. Confirm the scope described below matches what you actually want to take on as standalone engagements.

The code being good doesn't matter much if the platform underneath it is fragile — a deploy that only one person knows how to run, infrastructure that was never written down anywhere, or a pipeline that breaks in ways nobody can debug at 2am. I build and operate the platform layer so a team can ship without depending on any one person's memory of how things work.

This covers the same ground I've owned in production systems that couldn't afford downtime — automated deployments and reproducible infrastructure provisioning for high-availability systems, including real-time tracking with tight uptime requirements. What it typically includes:

Containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) sized to what the system actually needs, not the biggest setup available.
CI/CD pipelines that catch problems before production, with deploys that are boring and repeatable instead of a manual ritual.
AWS infrastructure as code — reproducible, reviewable, not a set of manual console changes nobody remembers making.
Observability that tells you what broke before a customer does.

The goal is always the same: infrastructure a team can operate without me in the room, not a system that only works because I built it.

Have a platform that's harder to run than it should be, or a new one that needs to be built right from the start? Let's talk.
