DevOps, MLOps & AI consulting for teams that ship fast.

We help startups and scaleups without dedicated platform or ML hires get to production faster — faster releases, lower cloud bills, and ML and AI features that actually run in production instead of sitting in notebooks.

What we do, end to end.

Platform and ML foundations, AI features, and full application builds — across e-commerce, healthcare, energy, telecom and more. We embed with your team, ship the work, and leave behind documented systems your engineers can run.

DevOps & Platform Engineering

Get your team off “deploys are scary” and onto a calm, repeatable release cadence.

Recent outcome: ~30% Azure spend reduction for a US healthcare client via Reserved Instances and right-sizing.

  • CI/CD pipelines on GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps
  • Infrastructure as Code with Terraform or Bicep
  • Kubernetes hardening and cost-aware scaling
  • Observability stack and on-call runbooks
DevOps services

MLOps & Data Platforms

Move ML from notebooks into reliable services your team can iterate on without 2 a.m. pages.

Recent outcome: shipped an end-to-end ML OCR pipeline on Azure Container Apps with one-click Terraform deploys.

  • Model serving and deployment pipelines
  • Training infrastructure on Kubernetes or SageMaker
  • Feature stores and drift monitoring
  • Data pipeline orchestration (Airflow, Prefect, Dagster)
MLOps services

AI Product Development

Ship the AI feature on your roadmap — with evals, guardrails, and a cost model you can defend.

Recent outcome: production WhatsApp AI agent with blue-green CI/CD and 20-second failover across 3 VMs.

  • RAG systems over your documents and data
  • LLM integration, prompt engineering, eval frameworks
  • AI agents and tool-using assistants
  • Fine-tuning and small-model deployment

Software Application Development

Web apps, APIs and full products — built in your stack by engineers who also own the deploy.

Built for: e-commerce, healthcare, marketing, petroleum & energy, electrical & transformer, and telecom.

  • .NET, Python (Django, Flask), Node.js, Laravel, Go
  • React, TypeScript and modern JavaScript frontends
  • AI built in: LLM/RAG, agents, managed and self-hosted models
  • Shipped with CI/CD, IaC and monitoring — you own the code

How we work.

No statements of work that read like legal threats. No army of junior consultants. You work directly with the person doing the work.

Discovery call

A 20-minute conversation. We listen, look at your stack, and tell you whether we’re a fit. Free.

Scoped proposal

A short, fixed-scope plan with milestones, deliverables, and a price you can put in next month’s budget.

Build & ship

We work in your repos and your cloud. Weekly demos. No surprise invoices, no parallel pitches for change orders.

Handover

Runbooks, architecture docs, and a recorded walkthrough so your team owns it after we leave.

Capabilities & stack.

The tools we work in every week. We pick what fits your team, not what gets us a vendor referral fee.

A few representative projects across DevOps, MLOps, and AI — named where we have client permission, anonymised elsewhere.

MLOps · Azure

End-to-end MLOps pipeline with Apple Store integration

Problem
An ML OCR feature was stuck in notebooks. No repeatable deploy path, no IaC, no failover, and the Apple Store integration was held together with manual scripts.
Approach
Built the full pipeline on Azure — Blob → Functions → ML OCR on Container Apps behind Front Door — all defined in Terraform. Wired the Apple Store integration into the same release flow.
Outcome
One-click deploys, infra as code, and a release path the in-house team runs without us. Client: Sunbelt AI (USA).
DevOps · Saudi Arabia

Blue-green CI/CD with 20s failover for a WhatsApp AI agent

Problem
A Flask + Gunicorn WhatsApp AI agent on three Ubuntu VMs had no automated deploys and no observability. Releases were manual and scary.
Approach
Jenkins blue-green pipeline across the three VMs, full Prometheus / Grafana / Loki stack on four VMs with 8 actionable alerts, runbooks for the on-call rotation.
Outcome
100% failover under 20 seconds, deploys became routine, dashboards the on-call actually opens. Client: Gasco / Mub-Tech (Saudi Arabia).
DevOps · USA

Terraform-managed 16 environments across 4 apps

Problem
Sixteen environments stitched across four apps, mostly clicked into the Azure portal, source on TFS. Configuration drift was constant; every new environment took a week.
Approach
Migrated source from TFS to GitHub. Captured all 16 envs in reusable Terraform modules (App Services, SQL PaaS, Storage, Firewall). GitHub Actions blue-green deploys gated by SonarQube + Snyk with Teams notifications.
Outcome
New environments spin up in hours, not days. Security scans run on every PR. Client: The Expo Group (USA).

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about working with a fractional DevOps, MLOps and AI consultancy.

What is a fractional DevOps consultant?

A fractional DevOps consultant is a senior engineer who works with your team part-time or on a fixed-scope project, instead of a full-time salaried hire. You get senior platform, CI/CD and cloud expertise for a few days a week or a defined engagement — without the cost and lead time of recruiting. More on the trade-off in our fractional vs full-time hire guide.

How much does DevOps, MLOps or AI consulting cost?

Most engagements are fixed-scope and fixed-price, typically 4–12 weeks. One-off projects (a CI/CD migration, a first Kubernetes setup, a cloud-cost review) are priced as a single project; ongoing work runs as a fractional retainer of a few days a month. You agree scope and price before any work starts — see our services.

What’s the difference between DevOps and MLOps consulting?

DevOps focuses on shipping and running software reliably: CI/CD, infrastructure as code, Kubernetes, observability. MLOps applies the same discipline to machine learning — model serving, training pipelines, feature stores and drift monitoring — so models run reliably in production instead of staying in notebooks.

Do you work with remote teams and across time zones?

Yes. We work remotely with startups and scaleups worldwide, with delivered engagements for teams in the US, Saudi Arabia and Europe. We work in your repositories and your cloud, with weekly demos, so distance and time zones don’t slow the work down.

Can you help reduce our AWS or Azure cloud bill?

Yes — cloud cost optimization is a common engagement: right-sizing compute, reserved-instance and savings-plan strategy, killing idle environments, and cost-aware scaling with budget alerts. We don’t take vendor referral fees, so recommendations are based on what’s cheapest for you.

Do you help ship AI features like RAG systems or LLM agents?

Yes. We build production AI features end to end: retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) over your own data, LLM integrations, tool-using agents, evaluation frameworks and guardrails — deployed with the same CI/CD and monitoring rigour as the rest of your stack.
