Designing AWS platforms for scale, security and audit-readiness

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

Hello! I'm Daniel.

I am based in Alicante, Spain. I have worked in IT since 2011 and with AWS since 2016. I help companies run their applications on AWS reliably and at a sensible cost: a clear account structure, infrastructure as code with Terraform, containers and Kubernetes (EKS) where they pay off, automated releases, and preparation for security audits. I work directly with your team and document what I build, so you do not depend on me afterwards. Core expertise: AWS EKS • Terraform/IaC • CI/CD & GitOps • Infrastructure automation • Serverless (Lambda) • Docker & Helm

Services


Cloud architecture & migration

A simpler cloud setup and a lower bill.

I design AWS environments with a clear structure and costs you can trace. If you use several cloud providers, or your current setup has become too complex and expensive, I plan the consolidation and carry it out.

DevOps & CI/CD automation

Frequent, predictable releases.

I build automated pipelines that test and deploy every change the same way, so it reaches production quickly and without manual steps.

Containerisation & Kubernetes

From legacy servers to a modern platform.

I move existing applications into containers without rewriting them and, where the workload justifies it, build production-ready Kubernetes (EKS) platforms. Scaling becomes automatic instead of manual.

Infrastructure as code

Self-documenting, version-controlled infrastructure.

I describe your infrastructure in Terraform and Terragrunt modules: every change is reviewable, recorded and repeatable, and an environment can be rebuilt from the code.

Compliance & security

Audit-ready systems, with checks that run automatically.

I build security in from the start, with automated checks that support eIDAS, ISO 27001, NIS2 and GDPR compliance.

AI adoption & training

AI assistants your IT teams use safely and well.

I help IT teams adopt AI coding assistants such as Claude Code: a shared setup, clear rules for access, data and review, and hands-on training for development, operations and DevOps.

Solution architecture & mentoring

An independent, confident technical team.

I help you make architecture decisions and work alongside your team until it can run the platform on its own. The goal: you won't need me for day-to-day operations.

✓Clear technical direction, skilled team
