Forward-deployed engineering · US & Canada
From problem to production. Fast.
Rozell designs cloud infrastructure, automates business operations, and ships production-grade software, embedded with your team, in your systems, on your timeline.
- + Add: ci_cd.pipeline deploys on every merge
- + Add: infra.terraform every resource in version control
- ~ Change: aws.monthly_bill 20–40% lower
- ~ Change: ops.approvals manual → automated
- − Remove: deploys.by_hand_on_friday
- − Remove: spreadsheets.as_database
Plan: 2 to add, 2 to change, 2 to destroy.
What we do
Six things, done by the person you talk to.
Infrastructure, automation and product work from one senior engineer, so nothing is lost between the people who plan it and the people who build it.
- AWS Cloud Infrastructure Architecture, implementation, and governance of AWS environments across US and Canadian regions. Reproducible, version-controlled infrastructure delivered with Terraform — never click-ops.
- Business Workflow Automation End-to-end automation of repetitive manual processes — API integrations, document handling, approval flows, and cross-system sync. Eliminate the operations tax on your team.
- Rapid Product Development Greenfield software from design to deployed in weeks. React & React Native for web and mobile, Python FastAPI for backend — one team shipping across platforms.
- AI & LLM Integration Bring AI into your product or operations — RAG pipelines, intelligent document processing, internal chat tools, and LLM-powered workflow automation built on your existing Python stack.
- DevOps & Platform Engineering CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, containerized deployments on ECS Fargate, observability and alerting — infrastructure that lets your team ship confidently from day one.
- Cloud Cost Optimization Systematic AWS cost audits and ongoing FinOps governance. Most organizations recover 20–40% of cloud spend within 90 days. A fast, low-risk entry point with immediate ROI.
How an engagement runs
Plan first. Then apply, in your accounts.
The same discipline we use for infrastructure: you see exactly what will change before anything does.
- discover
A 30-minute call
No commitment. We scope the problem and tell you how we'd approach it.
- plan
A written scope
What changes, what it costs, and when it lands, agreed before build time is spent.
- apply
Embedded with you
In your repositories and your AWS accounts, next to the people who know the problem.
- hand over
You own all of it
Repos, accounts and documentation stay yours. Nothing to hand back.
How we engage
Four ways to work together.
Fixed scope when the problem is clear, embedded or on retainer when it is still taking shape.
- Fixed · 4–12 wks
MVP Sprint
Defined scope, fixed price, defined deliverables. A production-ready product shipped on a firm timeline. Ideal for new ideas that need to move quickly.
- Embedded · Ongoing
Forward Deployment
We work inside your team — in your environment, alongside your people — for a defined sprint cycle. The fastest way to unblock and accelerate.
- Retainer · Monthly
Fractional CTO
Senior technical leadership without the full-time cost. Architecture decisions, hiring guidance, and technology strategy. Optional equity alignment available.
- Managed · Monthly
Ongoing Retainer
Predictable coverage for infrastructure monitoring, cost reviews, incident response, and advisory. Turns project work into a long-term operational partnership.
What we believe
Four rules we don't bend.
-
Infrastructure is code.
If it was clicked into existence, it does not count as done.
-
Ship early, in production.
A working slice beats a complete plan.
-
You own everything.
Repos, accounts, documentation. Nothing to hand back.
-
Measure the boring things.
Deploy frequency, cloud spend, hours saved.
Technology stack
Mainstream tools your next hire already knows.
Who we work with
Teams with a real problem and no time to waste.
- SaaS companies scaling from startup to enterprise, needing infrastructure and product velocity
- Healthcare and fintech organizations modernizing systems with HIPAA, SOC 2, or PCI compliance requirements
- US and Canadian businesses with cross-border data residency needs (PIPEDA, provincial health)
- Non-technical founders who need a technical co-founder without a full-time hire
- Operations teams running on spreadsheets and manual processes, ready to automate
