About ZAE Solutions

Built for outcomes. Obsessed with reliability.

We help teams modernize, automate, and ship with confidence—across cloud, CI/CD, networking, security, and the web.

Leadership

Founder-led delivery

Our founder first proved ZAE’s playbook by rescuing a stalled cloud migration—rebuilding pipelines, hardening networks, and getting teams shipping again in weeks. He grew up in ops before “DevOps” was a headline, riding the wave from racked servers to cloud-native stacks, container platforms, and zero-trust networks. Founder & Principal Engineer with over 15 years of hands-on experience across DevOps, cloud infrastructure, networking, and security, he now applies that outcome-first approach for AWS, Azure, and GCP teams.

  • • Hands-on cloud development and deployment automation for the last 10 years across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
  • • Specializes in IaC, CI/CD, reliability engineering, and cloud governance.
  • • Led EKS/OpenShift platform builds with service meshes, progressive delivery, and airtight supply-chain controls.
  • • Runs incident-ready SRE practices: SLOs, runbooks, chaos drills, and layered observability.
  • • Coaches teams on DevSecOps guardrails—threat modeling, shift-left testing, and repeatable compliance baselines.
  • • Trusted by product and security leaders alike to bridge roadmap velocity with risk reduction.
  • • Works directly with every client squad as sponsor and principal architect.

What ZAE Solutions provides

We help teams modernize safely and ship faster—combining cloud architecture, platform engineering, and security by design. Whether you need a landing zone, a hardened Kubernetes platform, or a CI/CD overhaul, we deliver with repeatable playbooks and hands-on leadership.

  • • Cloud landing zones with guardrails, observability, and cost controls baked in.
  • • Platform engineering on EKS/OpenShift: golden paths, self-service, and zero-trust defaults.
  • • CI/CD and release automation: blue/green, canary, policy-as-code, and SBOM-driven supply chain controls.
  • • DevSecOps enablement: threat modeling, shift-left scanning, and incident-ready runbooks.
  • • Migration and modernization programs that reduce downtime and accelerate ROI.

Technical highlights

Breadth across cloud, automation, and security.

Every service we deliver is backed by the hands-on programs our founder architected and ran.

CI/CD & Container Platforms

Azure DevOps, GitHub, GitLab, and AWS CodePipeline/CodeBuild automation with Docker, EKS, AKS, ECS, and OpenShift to cut deployments by 70%, integrating secrets/Key Vault, quality gates, and blue-green strategies.

Cloud Migrations & IaC

Terraform, ARM, CloudFormation, Packer, and EC2 Image Builder used to migrate multi-tier systems, enforce Control Tower guardrails, and standardize networks, logging, and Datadog/Splunk monitoring.

Security & Compliance

IAM/SCP policy design, AWS/Akamai WAF, SonarQube scanning, container registry governance, and vulnerability remediation across Linux, Windows, and Kubernetes estates—including hardened EKS/OpenShift clusters built with a DevSecOps runway.

Enterprise Operations

3.5 PB data migrations with CloudEndure, automation via Bash/Python/PowerShell, 1300+ endpoint refreshes, SCCM and VOIP modernization, and hybrid networking (Fortinet, UniFi, VPN, VLAN).

How We Work

  1. Discover

    Goals, constraints, risks, and success metrics with stakeholders.

  2. Design

    Target architecture, phased plan, and early wins to prove value.

  3. Build

    IaC, pipelines, secure baselines, tests, and documentation.

  4. Operate

    Observability, runbooks, enablement, and clean hand-off—or we manage it.
