I’m Michael Ellertson — co-founder, product architect and enterprise software leader with 20+ years building and running cloud-native systems. I’ve designed and deployed containerized platforms using Docker and Kubernetes, built CI/CD and DevOps pipelines, and delivered secure, PCI‑ and HIPAA‑compliant SaaS on AWS and Azure. I focus on practical, production-proven solutions: containerization strategy, repeatable deployments, scaling, cost control and cloud security.
Book a call when you need:
- Architecture review for containerizing apps (Dockerfile, image strategy, registries).
- Deployment patterns on Amazon AWS (ECS/EKS) or Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), or hybrid approaches.
- CI/CD / DevOps design: pipelines, automated tests, blue/green or canary deploys.
- Scalability and performance planning: autoscaling, caching, queues and bottleneck fixes.
- Security & compliance guidance for cloud-hosted services (PCI, HIPAA, network hardening).
- Rapid MVP deployment plans and runbooks so teams can ship fast and safely.
What I deliver in a session
- Actionable next steps and a prioritized 30/60/90 checklist.
- Suggested stack and deployment pattern tailored to your constraints.
- High-level CI/CD & infra-as-code outline (examples you can implement).
- Security hardening checklist and recommendations for observability and DR.
Sessions are focused, practical and tailored to your team’s timeline — ideal for founders, engineering leads, or DevOps engineers who need clear, executable cloud deployment and containerization guidance.
