Case Studies

Real work, real results

Examples from enterprise production environments I've led, each told as the problem, what I did, and the result. Client names are kept private.

Move .NET services to Docker on ECS with autoscaling

Problem: .NET services ran on Linux EC2 instances sized for peak traffic around the clock, and every rollout meant updating servers one at a time.
What I did: Containerized each service with Docker, deployed them to Amazon ECS, and added autoscaling based on actual demand.
Result: Consistent builds and deploys, no more server-by-server rollouts, and infrastructure costs down about 25% with no application code changes.

Problem: Production AWS infrastructure had been built and modified by hand, making it hard to review, reproduce, or hand off.
What I did: Imported the live environment into Terraform, organized it into reusable modules, added Checkov security scanning, and rolled out AWS best-practice settings, including encryption, tighter access controls, and logging.
Result: Every infrastructure change and new service now goes through version-controlled code: reviewable, repeatable, and easy to hand off.

Problem: Releases were manual, and no one could easily tell which version was running in each environment.
What I did: Set up Jenkins on AWS with pipelines that build on every push, store artifacts in Amazon S3, and deploy with AWS Systems Manager: straight to QA, with an approval gate before production.
Result: Standardized deployments across environments, a clear view of what runs where, and rollback by redeploying any previous build.

Problem: A SaaS product needed its Azure services (App Service web apps, Function Apps, Azure SQL, Storage, and Key Vault) deployed consistently and securely.
What I did: Defined everything in Bicep, with managed identities for app access, RBAC role assignments alongside the resources, and secrets centralized in Key Vault.
Result: The proof of concept moved to production with VNet integration and private endpoints through reviewed template changes, not a manual rebuild, and every environment deploys the same way.
