About Me
Hi, I'm Karolis.
Most backend engineers don't understand infrastructure.
Most DevOps engineers don't understand application code.
I bridge that gap.
I help companies using NestJS or Laravel on GCP save money on cloud bills, improve deployment pipelines, and sleep soundly without on-call alerts.
Why Me?
I do not "maintain" systems. I fix the expensive problems that slow you down:
- Fix the Waste: I audited a client's GCP bill and found 90% waste in failing queries. Result: 40% instant cost reduction.
- Scale: I moved a large app to Kubernetes without any downtime. This change enabled horizontal and vertical scaling.
- Trust: I led ISO 27001 compliance for a martech product. I changed "security" from a blocker into a sales asset. This helped us close enterprise deals.
Tech Stack
I use the cloud-native - GCP tools.
- Compute: GKE & Cloud Run (optimised for cost).
- Backend: NestJS and Laravel (built for performance).
- Observability: Grafana Stack (so we know why it broke, not just that it broke).
What I Do For You
- The Audit: I find where you are bleeding money (Cloud & Process).
- The Fix: I re-architect your infrastructure for stability.
- The Platform: I act as your Fractional Platform Lead so you don't need to hire an SRE and I will let you know when you do.
