About Denis

What I solve

The three silent crises of Cloud infrastructure in 2026:
- Cloud Drift: your configurations drift between your IaC code and the AWS/Azure reality. Every hotfix in production widens the gap. On audit day, panic ensues.
- Shadow AI: your engineers use public LLMs with your production data. Every prompt is a potential exfiltration.
- NIS2: compliance is no longer an annual exercise. It must be continuously demonstrable. An Excel spreadsheet is no longer sufficient.

How I intervene

Three phases, fixed price, no dependencies created:

01/ Audit & Mapping (10 days)
Complete assessment: IaC/reality gaps, exposure surface, NIS2/ISO 27001 compliance, FinOps analysis. You receive an actionable report with a prioritized remediation plan, not a 200-page PDF.

02/ Architecture & Remediation
I design and deploy the target architecture. Drift remediation, secure CI/CD pipelines (Shift-Left), private AI deployment if necessary. Everything is coded in Terraform/Ansible, everything is auditable, everything is reproducible.

03/ Transfer & Autonomy
Your teams leave autonomous. Operational documentation, monitoring in place, locked-down pipelines. I don't create dependency, I eliminate it.

My advantage

20 years of infrastructure; from physical datacenters (5000+ VMs, BGP, Proxmox) to multi-cloud (AWS ECS/Lambda/Bedrock, Azure Landing Zones). I've been CTO, infra lead, and DevSecOps consultant. This stack depth allows me to see what pure Cloud players miss.
