Professional services

Senior infrastructure help,
without the headcount.

Platform engineering, container orchestration, and observability delivered by someone who has run these systems in production for three decades — not a team that will learn on your environment.

Capabilities

What we take on

Platform engineering

CI/CD architecture

End-to-end release pipelines in Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions, built to be parameterized and reused rather than copied.

  • Pipeline design, templating, and consolidation
  • Multi-environment promotion strategies
  • Release gating, approvals, and rollback paths
Kubernetes

Container orchestration

Cluster design and deployment pipelines targeting AKS and on-premises Kubernetes, delivered with documentation your team can actually operate from.

  • Cluster architecture and workload onboarding
  • Deployment pipelines to hybrid targets
  • Day-two operations and upgrade planning
Observability

Monitoring you will trust

Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, and Sentry, architected together so an alert means something and a dashboard answers a question.

  • Metrics design and dashboard architecture
  • Log aggregation and retention strategy
  • Application performance monitoring
  • Database and infrastructure telemetry
Infrastructure as code

Repeatable environments

ARM and Bicep templates, configuration management, and automation that turns a manual build into one that runs the same way every time.

  • Azure resource templating and management
  • Hybrid worker and automation infrastructure
  • PowerShell and Bash automation
Data platform

Databases and storage

SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and ClickHouse work from a background in enterprise database architecture and high-availability design.

  • High availability, clustering, and mirroring
  • Disaster recovery design and testing
  • SAN and storage architecture
  • Performance investigation and tuning
Assessment

Second opinions

Sometimes the deliverable is a clear-eyed read on what you already have and what it will cost to fix, written for both engineers and the people funding the work.

  • Platform and pipeline assessment
  • Standards and runbook documentation
  • Technical mentoring for in-house teams

Career

The long version

2026 — present
Founder, Praxlogic

Formed to build practical tooling on top of three decades of production infrastructure work — an epistemic validation layer for language models, an AI call screening product, and contract engineering for teams that need senior capacity.

2019 — present
Director of DevOps

Leading a team operating more than a thousand parameterized CI/CD pipelines across multiple Kubernetes environments, with deployments orchestrated through Azure DevOps and GitHub, and observability built on Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, and Sentry.

2014 — 2018
Senior Architect, Microsoft Database Platform

Architected SQL and IIS platform solutions across 400+ applications spanning sixteen business technology groups at a global media company, with automated provisioning built on System Center Orchestrator.

2007 — 2014
Senior Systems Administrator

Owned high-availability SQL cluster standards and disaster recovery in a 24×7 SLA-managed environment, running several hundred load-balanced web and database servers alongside SAN design and migration work.

1992 — 2007
Systems administration, engineering support, field service

IT management, multi-domain Active Directory design, sustaining engineering between enterprise service and product divisions, and hands-on field hardware and network service.

Engagements

How this works

  • Assessment — a fixed-scope look at a specific problem, ending in a written recommendation
  • Project — defined deliverable, defined end date, handover documentation included
  • Retained hours — a standing block of hours per month for teams that need senior backup on call

Remote by default, working across US time zones. Every engagement ends with documentation, because work nobody can maintain is not finished work.
