Real Results for Real Clients

From startups to enterprise teams — every engagement is measured by outcomes. Here are a few that stand out.

Enterprise Media Client $2.2M / yr

S3 Cost Optimization Across 60B+ Objects

The client's top AWS spend was S3, with 90%+ of data sitting in S3 Standard. I analyzed usage patterns using S3 Storage Lens, ran cost simulations, and guided a gradual migration to S3 Intelligent-Tiering.

S3 Standard usage reduced from 90% to 30%
4.5 billion objects transitioned with zero errors
$2.225M total annual savings, exceeding the 10% goal
Enterprise Media Client $650K / yr

Aurora Fleet Upgrade — Zero Downtime During Peak Season

The client needed to upgrade 30+ Aurora clusters from MySQL 5.7 to Aurora 3 before December to avoid $55K/month in extended support charges — all while navigating a mandatory code freeze for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

100% of databases upgraded by December 11th
Zero availability impact during peak traffic
Deadlocks reduced 95%, saving $650K annually

DDoS Resilience & WAF Hardening

Following a severe DDoS attack that disrupted operations and drove unexpected costs, I conducted a deep-dive into the client's AWS WAF configuration and delivered a comprehensive remediation roadmap.

Cloud Foundation & Cost Control for a Growing SaaS

A bootstrapped SaaS startup was scaling fast but their AWS bill was growing even faster. With no dedicated cloud expertise in-house, they had no visibility into what was driving costs. I audited their setup, right-sized their compute, and put cost governance in place from day one.

The Right Expertise at the Right Time

Enterprise Depth, Startup Agility

I've worked inside AWS advising some of the region's largest cloud customers — and I bring that same depth to engagements of any size. You get enterprise-caliber thinking without the overhead.

Results You Can Measure

Every recommendation I make is tied to business outcomes — cost savings, SLA improvement, performance gains. My track record: $4M+ in verified savings and zero-downtime migrations for production workloads.

Trusted Advisor, Not Just a Vendor

I focus on long-term relationships. I'll tell you what you actually need — not what's easiest to sell. My 100% client retention rate reflects that commitment.

Trilingual & Regionally Connected

I work in English, Arabic, and Hebrew — and I understand the regional tech ecosystem deeply. Whether you're a local startup or a multinational expanding to the Middle East, I speak your language.

You'll Get the Most Value If…

  • You're a startup or SMB that needs enterprise-grade cloud thinking without the enterprise overhead
  • Your AWS bill is growing but you don't have dedicated cloud expertise in-house
  • You want to add AI features to your product but don't know where to start
  • You need a website, SaaS platform, or product built to perform and scale
  • You're planning a migration, launch, or upgrade where downtime isn't an option
