Infrastructure advice from someone who has built it.
I help companies design, build and run cloud and on-premises infrastructure that's resilient, compliant, and sized to what they actually use.
Knowledge is like a baobab tree. No one person can embrace it alone.
What I can help with
From the first design to running it every day, so that one person understands the whole platform.
-
Cloud and platform engineering
Single-cloud, multi-cloud, hybrid or private. I design the platform, write it as code, and hand over something your team can run.
-
DevOps and automation
Pipelines that test, release and roll back on their own, with every deployment traceable to a change.
-
Observability
Metrics, logs and alerts that tell you what broke and why, before your customers do.
-
Security and compliance
Controls built in from day one, designed around the standards your auditors check, such as PCI DSS, SOC 2 and HIPAA.
-
Custom software
Backends, internal tools, and mobile and web apps, built on the same practices as the platform beneath them.
-
Operations and support
Monitoring, incident response and day-to-day IT support, so that problems are fixed before they stop your business.
How I work
The same five stages every time, so you always know what comes next.
Listen
I learn your business, map what you run today, and agree on what success looks like.
Design
I propose an architecture, with its costs and risks written down, before anything is built.
Build
I build it as code, in small reviewed steps, and test it as I go.
Run
I plan the switch to avoid downtime, then monitor and support what I built.
Teach
I document everything and train your team, so that the knowledge stays with you.
About me
Mohamed Keita
I've spent more than ten years automating infrastructure for financial companies, where downtime and audit findings cost the most.
Nkeita Services is my own consultancy. I work directly with your team, and I write down what I build, so that you're never locked in to me.
