Google Cloud architecture, AI agents, HIPAA-grade security, and FinOps. I hold 9 Google Cloud Professional certifications and have spent seven years building infrastructure that regulators sign off on and engineers actually want to maintain. I don't resell Google Cloud, so my only goal is what's best for you. You get me, not a junior resource reading a runbook.
FINOPS, MIGRATION & OPERATIONS
I find the waste in your Google Cloud bill and cut it for good. One healthcare client's bill fell 37%, about $116K a year, with no downtime. Whether you're migrating or stabilizing, the deliverable is the same: a lean environment your team runs without me, with monitoring, runbooks, and handover built in.

AI agents that run on your own Google Cloud, inside your compliance boundary. I build with Gemini Enterprise, Agent Platform, ADK, and CX Agent Studio, with tested releases, safety guardrails, and cost tracked per agent. New AI, paid for by the waste I cut from your bill.
ENTERPRISE CLOUD ARCHITECTURE
Production-grade Google Cloud for regulated industries: HIPAA, ITAR, and FedRAMP-aligned. I design environments that pass compliance review the first time. Everything is in Terraform, documented, and built so your team owns it after I leave.
He quickly identified areas of unnecessary spend and re-architected parts of our setup to be far more efficient, without sacrificing performance or reliability. ... In our case, the monthly savings he unlocked more than covered his fees, so he quite literally pays for himself in Google Cloud savings.
Phenomenal performance, understands the tasks at hand and finds creative ways to improve your product - goes beyond expectations. Highly recommend.
Duke did an excellent job assessing our setup and catching problems before they became real headaches. He handled the migration smoothly — zero downtime — and was great about communicating and documenting everything along the way. Would definitely work with him again.
Duke was professional and efficient, delivering on time and on budget.

No discovery calls that go nowhere. No proposals full of jargon. Here's what actually happens.
Seven steps. They spell our name.
I start with your real situation: what's working, what's costing you, and what's keeping your team up at night. Often this is a fixed-price Waste Scan of your Google Cloud bill. If I'm not the right fit, I'll tell you.
You walk away with: a clear picture of where you stand.
I design the target architecture in Terraform, with compliance built in from day one. Every decision is documented with the reason behind it.
You walk away with: a blueprint your engineers can read and trust.
Before big spend, I prove the riskiest part works with a small pilot on your own Google Cloud.
You walk away with: evidence, not promises.
I build, migrate, and harden, in stages, with no surprise downtime.
You walk away with: a production environment that's secure and compliant.
I measure results against where we started: cost, uptime, speed, and AI performance.
You walk away with: numbers you can show your CFO.
Runbooks, dashboards, escalation paths, and a structured handoff. Your team runs it without me.
You walk away with: full ownership, not a dependency on me.
Optional. I stay on as your architect: monthly cost watch, AI upkeep, and on call when you need me.
You walk away with: a cloud that stays lean as you grow.
