☁️ CloudForge: Cloud Infrastructure & CI/CD Architecture Consulting

Independent consulting practice specializing in surgical cost optimization and CI/CD greenfield design for enterprise platforms—without rip-and-replace modernization.

🎯 THE CLOUDFORGE APPROACH

Most consultants pitch expensive modernization. We audit what's broken, build CI/CD where none exists, and optimize surgically. Result: 60-99% cost reduction, 3-min deployments, zero business disruption.

Philosophy: Legacy infrastructure brings money. Don't kill it.
