Make better decisions
Understand architectural options, trade-offs and priorities before committing engineering time and investment.
Prem Gurung · Principal Cloud & Platform Consultant
Cloud architecture that moves engineering forward.
I help engineering leaders make clear AWS architecture decisions, build reusable platform capabilities and improve resilience—connecting technical design with business priorities and operational reality.
The outcomes that matter
Architecture, teams and business outcomes
Enable engineering teams
Create reusable platform capabilities with clear ownership, practical automation and a path to adoption.
Prepare for failure
Connect recovery architecture with runbooks, responsibilities and evidence that the organisation can recover.
Focused engagements
Start with the problem you need to solve

Good architecture starts with the right questions.
Direct collaboration with the person doing the architecture work, from the first conversation to the recommended next steps.
Understand the business problem
What matters, why now and who owns the decision.
Align requirements and stakeholders
Agree constraints, priorities and responsibilities.
Evaluate architecture and trade-offs
Examine complexity, reliability, delivery and operational effort.
Create an actionable plan
Leave teams with decisions, ownership and prioritised work.
Architecture in practice · Illustrative example
A reusable platform needs more than automation.
Consider a team turning repeated infrastructure requests into a self-service catalogue. The decision involves ownership, guardrails and adoption as much as Terraform modules.
