Cloud Solutions Architecture

We start from workload requirements (data volume, latency, residency, regulatory scope) and work backward to provider and topology — not the other way around. Washington DC clients often need multi-region designs that satisfy local data-residency rules while keeping costs predictable.

Not currently. We deliver to Washington DC on a remote-first basis from our nearest offices in Sydney, Melbourne, and Auckland — with time-zone overlap and synchronous delivery cadence. On-site visits are arranged on request.

Architecture review and target-state design typically runs 4–6 weeks at the low five figures. Implementation (migration, IaC, observability, FinOps tooling) runs 12–24 weeks depending on workload count and downtime tolerance.

AWS, Azure, GCP, and Cloudflare. We use Terraform or Pulumi (your choice) for infrastructure-as-code so the resulting environment is portable and reviewable in your own repos.

Usually, yes. Most over-spending we see falls into four categories: oversized compute, untiered storage, untouched dev/test environments, and inter-region or inter-AZ data transfer. A FinOps assessment typically pays for itself within one billing cycle.

US client data residency is configured per state requirements (CCPA, NYDFS, HIPAA where applicable) and cloud regions are chosen to align — typically US-East / US-West / US-Gov where required. Sectoral controls (HIPAA, SOX, FedRAMP) are wired in at architecture time.
