Workload discovery and assessment
Build an inventory of applications, infrastructure, dependencies, utilization and business requirements. Identify migration readiness, constraints and areas requiring further investigation.
Cloud migration and modernization consulting
Move to the cloud with a clear migration strategy.
Plan and execute cloud migrations with architecture-led guidance. I help teams assess existing workloads, map dependencies, design target environments and plan controlled migrations across Azure, AWS, Google Cloud and hybrid infrastructure.
A structured approach to cloud migration
A successful migration starts with understanding the workloads, dependencies, business priorities and operating constraints. The target architecture and migration sequence should follow those requirements.
Migrate with clarity. Modernize with confidence.
From initial discovery to production cutover, I provide practical architecture guidance to help teams make informed migration decisions and reduce avoidable delivery risk.

Cloud migration and modernization services
Dependency mapping and migration planning
Understand application, database, network, identity and storage dependencies. Group workloads into practical migration waves based on technical relationships and business priorities.
Azure, AWS and Google Cloud migration
Define target environments and migration approaches across Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud, aligned with workload requirements and operating models.
Migration strategy and workload placement
Evaluate rehost, replatform, refactor, retain and retire options. Select an approach based on technical feasibility, business value, risk and ongoing operating costs.
Hybrid cloud and data-centre exit
Plan connectivity, workload transitions and integration between existing infrastructure and cloud platforms. Address network routing, identity, security, data movement and operational dependencies.
Cutover, rollback and validation
Define migration runbooks, change windows, acceptance criteria, rollback conditions and post-cutover checks. Keep recovery and business continuity requirements in the migration plan.
Post-migration optimization
Review performance, resource sizing, storage, resilience, security and cloud consumption after migration. Prioritize improvements based on operational needs and cost impact.
Architecture advisory and delivery oversight
Develop target-state architecture, HLD and LLD documentation, technical workshop outcomes, solution sizing and implementation plans.
Choose the right migration approach
Not every workload needs the same migration path. The right decision depends on application dependencies, technical constraints, business criticality and the value expected from modernization.
Rehost
Move workloads with limited application changes when speed and compatibility are the main priorities.
Replatform
Make targeted platform changes to improve manageability, performance or operational efficiency without redesigning the entire application.
Refactor or re-architect
Redesign selected workloads where cloud-native capabilities or changes to the application architecture justify the investment.
Retain or retire
Keep workloads in their current environment when dependencies or business requirements warrant it, or identify applications that no longer need to run.
From discovery to production cutover
- DiscoverInventory workloads, infrastructure, stakeholders, application dependencies and business requirements.
- AssessEvaluate migration readiness, compatibility, security, connectivity, availability, recovery and cost considerations.
- DesignDefine target architecture, workload placement, migration patterns, sequencing, high-level and low-level designs.
- Migrate and validatePlan migration waves, execute controlled cutovers, validate application functionality and performance, and maintain rollback options.
- Optimize and hand overReview cloud consumption, security, resilience and operations. Document the resulting environment and outstanding improvements.
An architecture-led migration approach
Cloud migration is not simply moving servers from one location to another. It requires decisions about application dependencies, network design, identity, security, data protection, availability and the operating model after cutover.
I bring infrastructure architecture, cloud migration and data-protection experience to help teams make those decisions. Each engagement can cover discovery, assessment, architecture documentation, migration planning and technical oversight. Scope and deliverables are agreed before work begins.
Discuss your cloud migration
Share your current infrastructure, target cloud platform and migration objectives. We can discuss whether a workload assessment, migration roadmap or focused architecture advisory engagement is the right starting point.
