Reliable applications at a sensible cost: AWS, containers, PHP and Claude Code
PHP securityCritical PHP vulnerabilities such as PHP2Shell (CVE-2026-109618, CVE-2026-109619) are fixed in official releases only for supported PHP versions.What to check and how I can help
I build and run AWS infrastructure.
I have been working with AWS since 2016 and in IT since 2011. At Talk-A-Bot, consolidating three clouds onto AWS EKS cut infrastructure costs by 77%. I help companies run their applications reliably and at a sensible cost: lower AWS costs, containers and automated releases, supported PHP versions, and Claude Code for IT teams. I work directly with your team and document what I build. After the handover, you choose whether your team runs it or I do. I am based in Spain and work remotely with teams across Europe and beyond. Core expertise: AWS EKS • Terraform/IaC • CI/CD & GitOps • Infrastructure automation • Serverless (Lambda) • Docker & Helm
Services
AWS cost reduction & migration
A lower AWS bill and a simpler cloud setup.
I find out where the money goes, draw up a plan to reduce costs and move to AWS, carry it out and hand over a documented setup. This includes preparation for security audits (eIDAS, ISO 27001, NIS2, GDPR).
Containerisation & DevOps
Containers and automated releases, without a rewrite.
I move existing applications into containers without rewriting them, automate building, testing and deployment, and keep the infrastructure in code (Terraform). Kubernetes (EKS) only where the workload justifies it.
AI adoption & training
AI assistants your IT teams use safely and well.
I help IT teams adopt Claude Code: a shared setup, clear rules for access, data and review, and hands-on training for development, operations and DevOps.
Supported PHP versions
Without rewriting your application.
The PHP project publishes security fixes only for supported versions. I assess where your PHP runs, move the application into containers on a supported version and, if you wish, host and operate it. Code changes stay with your developers or agency.
