Work With Me

I take on a small number of engagements alongside my full-time work. I’m currently available for 10–15 hours per week, remote, outside US Eastern core business hours (9am–5pm).

Some of what I can help with:

• Fractional SRE/DevOps, architecture reviews, and consulting
• Infrastructure as code - bring Terraform, ArgoCD, Helm, and more to manually-managed or greenfield environments
• CI/CD pipelines - build, test, and deployment workflows with reproducible environments and safe rollbacks
• Observability build-outs - metrics, tracing, SLOs, alert fatigue, and on-call practices that fit your organization
• Cloud-cost optimization, right-sizing, and autoscaling
• Platform engineering - self-service tooling and paved paths that let development teams ship quickly

My deepest expertise lies in Kubernetes, Istio service mesh, Terraform, and AWS. The fundamentals of improving distributed systems and cloud platforms transfer across stacks, and adapting to new ones motivates my work. Email info@bgottlob.com with context on what you’re running and the problems you’re facing, and I’ll give you an honest read on the fit.

Note: I’m glad to help you design and document on-call processes, but I’m not available to carry a pager for your platform.
