Sample delivery sketch
# ultra-fast async API baseline
from fastapi import FastAPI
from pydantic import BaseModel
import uvloop

app = FastAPI(title="SMK Tech")
uvloop.install()

class Payload(BaseModel):
    user_id: int
    items: list[str]

@app.post("/score")
async def score(payload: Payload):
    features = await fetch_features(payload.user_id)
    return {"score": model.predict(features, payload.items)}

What we solve

Python platforms

API & data backbones

Design, benchmark, and harden FastAPI/Django stacks with modern typing, profiling, and observability baked in.

Kubernetes

Zero-downtime shipping

GitOps pipelines, progressive delivery, and autoscaling strategies tuned for your latency and cost targets.

AWS & FinOps

Cloud efficiency

Well-Architected reviews, IaC baselines (Terraform/CDK), and spend control playbooks that leadership loves.

SRE coaching

Reliability culture

Incident response drills, SLO/SLI design, and dashboards that make on-call peaceful again.

Recent wins

Fintech

Monolithic to services in 90 days

Split a legacy Django core into typed FastAPI services with async SQLAlchemy, cutting p99 latency from 480ms to 140ms.

Retail data

ETL to real-time

Rebuilt batch ETLs into event-driven pipelines on Kinesis + Lambda, delivering fresh inventory data in under 2 minutes.

SaaS

Prod hardening

Introduced chaos drills and circuit breakers; SLO burn alerts reduced noise by 60% while uptime improved to 99.97%.

How engagement works

01 / Audit
Architecture + observability review, code profiling, and SLO mapping within 72 hours.
02 / Plan
Roadmap with measurable targets: latency, error budgets, cost ceilings, team rituals.
03 / Build
Pair with your team, ship features, IaC, pipelines, and monitoring in tight loops.
04 / Transfer
Playbooks, runbooks, and training sessions so your crew owns the system confidently.
