My Services
Having worked with Amazon Web Services (AWS) for many years, I'm comfortable designing new cloud architectures and modernizing existing infrastructure.
You can hire me to temporarily assist your team with things like...
• On-premise to AWS Cloud migration
• Architecture modernization (event-driven & serverless)
• DevOps and CI/CD
• Security assessment and optimization
• Cost optimization
What's a Fractional Executive?
Fractional executives gained their management experience earlier in their career and now help other companies leverage that experience.
Fractionals differ from consultants because they typically represent your company, can lead teams and are embedded into your organization. They differ from interims because they work for multiple companies at once.
With a fractional executive, your company will have access to a seasoned professional at the fraction of the cost of a full time exec.
I’ve gained most of my experience during my 15 year tenure as the CEO of CMNTY, where I learned how to build a company from the ground up with limited funding.
The SaaS platform, used by several Fortune 100 companies, was acquired in 2021 by MarketResponse, a renowned European market research firm.
I love helping other founders and growing companies overcome technical challenges. Hire me to help you with the following...
• Technology strategy and road mapping
• Architecture and system design
• Technical due diligence for mergers and acquisitions
• Cloud migration and optimization
• Cybersecurity and data privacy compliance
Certifications
I'm 5x AWS Certified, Terraform Certified, and specialize in Serverless, Infrastructure as Code and DevSecOps.
What's in a name?
I named my company Skripted because I'm a huge fan of Infrastructure as Code.
I use it 99.99% of the time. This means that whenever possible, I write proprietary CloudFormation or Terraform code that you will own.
As a result, what I do is fully transparent, repeatable and ready for hand-off to your team, new hires or other partners anytime.
Reviews
I've been lucky to work with clients of various sizes and different industries.
Max helped us safeguard our infrastructure by describing our AWS resources in Terraform. Using GitHub actions, we can now launch identical configurations and test changes to our health portal before deploying them to production.
