Platform Engineering
Your platform should accelerate your team. Not slow them down.
I design and build cloud-native platforms that teams can actually use. From multi-account strategies to internal developer platforms, I create the foundation that makes everything else possible.
Proven result: 20k to 80k req/s stabilised
What I deliver
- Multi-cloud platform architecture (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Kubernetes cluster design and operations
- Internal Developer Platforms (IDP)
AI Systems Integration
AI projects fail because the platform is not ready. I make it ready.
I do not build ML models. I build the systems that make AI work in production. API integration, infrastructure for LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation, and the platform reliability that AI demands.
Proven result: 59% to 96% AI accuracy in production
What I deliver
- LLM API integration and orchestration
- RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems
- AI pipeline infrastructure
Cloud & Infrastructure
Most companies overspend on cloud by 30 to 40%. I fix that.
From architecture reviews to full re-platforms, I help you get your cloud infrastructure right: secure, cost-efficient, and built to scale. Not just lift-and-shift. Properly engineered.
Proven result: £50K/mo cloud waste removed
What I deliver
- Cloud cost optimisation and FinOps
- Security hardening and compliance
- Disaster recovery and high availability
SRE & Observability
If your dashboards look green while systems burn, you have an observability problem.
Real observability means understanding system behaviour, not just collecting metrics. I build observability platforms that surface real problems and help your team respond faster.
Proven result: 28 issues caught before they caused outages
What I deliver
- OpenTelemetry instrumentation
- SLO/SLI definition and alerting strategy
- Incident response and runbook automation
Data Engineering
Slow pipelines do not just waste time. They delay decisions.
From ETL pipelines to event-driven architectures, I build data systems that perform at scale. If your data platform is slow, unreliable, or expensive, I can fix it.
Proven result: Pipeline cut from 1 hour to 20 minutes
What I deliver
- ETL/ELT pipeline design and optimisation
- Event-driven architecture (Kafka, Kinesis)
- Real-time streaming and processing
DevOps & Automation
Ship faster without breaking things. That is the real promise of DevOps.
I build CI/CD pipelines, deployment strategies, and automation that gives your team confidence. Less manual work, fewer incidents, faster releases.
Proven result: Fully automated compliance pipeline
What I deliver
- CI/CD pipeline design (GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins)
- GitOps workflows (ArgoCD, Flux)
- Deployment strategies (blue-green, canary, rolling)
Our methodology
The Atruvo Failure-First Method
A four-stage process I developed over a decade of fixing production platforms. We bring our own tooling, runbooks, and templates to every engagement.
STAGE 01
Diagnose
We map the failure surface using our own observability templates and architecture review framework.
STAGE 02
Prioritise
Risk-ranked findings using the Atruvo blast-radius model. What breaks first, what costs most, what cannot wait.
STAGE 03
Fix
We deliver against agreed outcomes, using our own engineering toolkit. You get progress, not timesheets.
STAGE 04
Hand back
Runbooks, documentation, and knowledge transfer so your team owns it after we leave.
Atruvo provides its own equipment, software licences, and engineering tooling for every engagement. We determine the technical approach and working pattern in line with agreed outcomes. Atruvo operates as an independent supplier and is not an employee or worker of any client.
How to engage
Three ways to engage
Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute call. No proposals until I understand the problem.
Platform Failure Map
1 to 2 weeks
Deep-dive assessment of your platform, cloud, or AI infrastructure. You get a prioritised report of what is broken, what is at risk, and what to fix first.
- Architecture review
- Risk-ranked findings
- Remediation roadmap
- Executive summary
Best for: You know something is wrong but not exactly what.
Hands-on fix
2 to 8 weeks
I embed with your team and fix the critical issues. Platform stabilisation, cloud cost reduction, AI pipeline reliability, or observability gaps.
- Direct implementation
- Knowledge transfer
- Runbooks and documentation
- Post-engagement support
Best for: You know the problem and need someone senior to fix it.
Retained advisory
Ongoing
Part-time strategic support for platform and AI decisions. Architecture reviews, incident support, and a senior voice in planning sessions.
- Weekly or fortnightly calls
- Architecture decision support
- Incident escalation path
- Team mentoring
Best for: You need ongoing senior input without a full-time hire.
How we operate
Independent supplier. Not an employee.
Right of substitution
SBCloud Solutions Ltd reserves the right to send a suitably qualified substitute, supervised by Atruvo, to deliver agreed outcomes.
Concurrent clients
We routinely serve multiple clients in parallel. Engagements are scoped to outcomes, not exclusivity or ongoing obligation.
Our own toolkit
Atruvo provides its own hardware, software licences, and methodology. We do not depend on client equipment to deliver.
Our own premises
We operate from our own business offices at Regus Interchange in Croydon (Office 141) and Regus Heathrow Bath Road, not from client facilities.
