AWS that costs
less than Vercel.
Production-grade AWS infrastructure for teams tired of surprise hosting bills. I migrate Next.js apps from Vercel and Firebase to Lambda, CloudFront, and DynamoDB using SST v3. Same capabilities. 60%+ less spend.

What I Deliver
Cost Optimization Audit
Line-by-line analysis of your AWS bill. Identify over-provisioned resources, unused storage, and misconfigured pricing tiers. Most teams save 40-70% after the first audit.
Next.js on AWS Lambda
Deploy Next.js with SSR, ISR, and API routes on Lambda via OpenNext and SST v3. Sub-200ms cold starts, CloudFront edge caching, and zero Vercel lock-in.
DynamoDB & Data Layer
Single-table design, on-demand pricing, and GSI optimization. Replace expensive managed databases with DynamoDB that scales from zero traffic to millions of requests.
IAM & Security Hardening
Least-privilege IAM policies, OIDC federation for CI/CD (no stored credentials), SCP guardrails, and CloudTrail audit logging. Security without the operational overhead.
CI/CD Pipeline Setup
GitHub Actions with OIDC assuming IAM roles. No AWS access keys in secrets. Auto-deploy on push, preview environments per PR, and rollback on failure.
DNS, SSL & CDN
Route 53 DNS management, ACM auto-renewing certificates, CloudFront distributions with custom cache behaviors. Global edge delivery for static and dynamic content.
Migration Scenarios
Real cost savings from production migrations I have executed.
Vercel to AWS Migration
60-75% monthly cost reductionMove your Next.js app from Vercel Pro to AWS Lambda + CloudFront. Same SSR capabilities, 60%+ cost reduction, full AWS service access.
Firebase to AWS Migration
50-65% monthly cost reductionReplace Firestore with DynamoDB, Firebase Auth with Auth.js + DynamoDB adapter, and Firebase Hosting with CloudFront + S3. Eliminate vendor lock-in.
Startup MVP Infrastructure
$0 at zero trafficArchitecture that costs under $5/month at launch and scales to thousands of users without re-platforming. Lambda, DynamoDB, and SES with on-demand pricing.
AWS Bill Optimization
40-70% typical savingsAudit and restructure existing AWS accounts. Right-size EC2, migrate to serverless where applicable, implement Savings Plans, and set up cost alerts.
Engagement Models
From one-time audits to full migration and ongoing optimization.
Infrastructure Audit
3-5 daysComplete analysis of your current stack with a prioritized list of cost savings, security improvements, and architectural recommendations.
Migration Execution
1-3 weeksFull migration from managed platforms to AWS. Zero-downtime cutover, DNS propagation management, SSL provisioning, and post-migration monitoring.
Greenfield Setup
1-2 weeksNew AWS infrastructure from scratch using SST v3 and Infrastructure as Code. DynamoDB, Lambda, CloudFront, SES, Route 53, IAM, and CI/CD, all in one config file.
Ongoing Optimization
Monthly retainerMonthly cost reviews, performance monitoring, security patching, and infrastructure updates. Keep your AWS bill lean as traffic grows.
Technology Stack
Stop overpaying for infrastructure
Your AWS bill should reflect your actual usage, not a flat platform fee. I bring 12+ years of production engineering to architect stacks that scale from $5/month to enterprise without re-platforming.
