Cloudflare® Partner
Official Cloudflare® Partner for agencies and teams
Managing Cloudflare® for clients: WAF, Workers, DDoS, DNS, performance.
Backend, cloud, and database consulting
Operator-level work for teams done guessing.
Lead backend and cloud at mygardyn.com. Building Serija. Fixing slow or fragile MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis systems — architecture and implementation, not one without the other.
Why hire me
Not a strategist who stops at recommendations.
Years owning backend, cloud, and architecture inside a live product — while consulting and building side projects. That changes the advice and the implementation.
Consultant
Clear diagnosis before expensive changes
Audit fast, tradeoffs clear, focus on what moves the system.
Implementer
Comfortable owning the hard parts directly
Real production systems: migrations, cloud architecture, caching, observability.

How engagements work
Diagnose. Prioritize. Implement.
- 01
Find what's actually costing you — speed, money, or reliability. Your real architecture, your real queries, your real cloud bill.
- 02
Cut to what moves the needle. Most systems have three problems causing 80% of the pain.
- 03
Ship the fixes or hand off a plan your team can execute without guessing.
Common triggers
Rising cloud spend, slow dashboards, overloaded databases, weak observability, risky release processes.
