Private workshops & technical briefings for engineering teams.
Focused sessions that help DevOps, SRE, platform, and engineering teams build shared language, challenge assumptions, and make better infrastructure decisions around cloud, Terraform, CI/CD, reliability, platform engineering, and AI-driven operational risk.
Two workshops built around the most common pain.
The future-looking session for AI-era operational risk, and the "we have pain today" session for teams whose Terraform has outgrown its operating model.
AI-Era Infrastructure Risk Workshop
AI-assisted engineering is changing how code, infrastructure, and operational decisions get made. This session helps teams identify where AI tools, CI/CD, permissions, secrets, and automation increase leverage and blast radius.
- AI agents as operational actors
- CI/CD as a control plane
- Permission boundaries & trust
- Human review that actually matters
- Guardrails, policy, and blast radius
- Failure modes teams are likely to miss
- Practical next steps for the team
Terraform & Platform Architecture Workshop
For teams whose infrastructure code has grown beyond simple examples. We work through the architectural decisions and operating-model patterns that make Terraform sustainable at scale.
- State boundaries and module design
- Terragrunt / OpenTofu / Terraform structure
- Environment promotion paths
- Ownership models and review workflows
- Drift handling and CI/CD integration
- Platform team support boundaries
- What should be standardized vs. flexible
Other workshops we run for teams.
Most are also available as 90-minute briefings or half-day deep dives — pick the format that fits the room.
Your Developer Toolchain Is Production Now
CI/CD, GitHub Actions, AI agents, package registries, secrets, runners, and SaaS as operational control planes.
Plan this session →Platform Engineering Without the Theater
Paved roads, adoption, ownership, support boundaries, and platform maturity without building a portal nobody uses.
Plan this session →Incident Readiness & Operational Judgment
Better debugging, postmortems, escalation paths, and production reasoning under realistic ambiguity.
Plan this session →Cloud Governance & Blast Radius
IAM, accounts, CI/CD, secrets, SaaS, and automation risk — what to govern before it surprises you.
Plan this session →DevOps Training Is Broken: We Teach Commands, Then Expect Judgment
Why training overvalues recall and undervalues reasoning, and what teams can do about it.
Plan this session →Custom Topic for Your Team
Scoped specifically to your stack, your incidents, and your operating model. Designed in a short intake call before the session.
Plan this session →Pick a length that fits your team's day.
90-Minute Briefing
Tight, high-density introduction to the topic. Great for engineering all-hands.
Half-Day Workshop
Mix of teaching, working examples, and team discussion. The most common format.
Multi-Session Series
Spread across weeks for deeper coverage and time to apply between sessions.
Leadership + Engineering
Pair a leadership briefing with a follow-up team session for shared language top to bottom.
Get the team in the same room.
Tell me a bit about your stack, the topic that fits, and the format you want. I'll come back with a proposal and timing.
