I help enterprises understand the real state of their infrastructure — not the assumptions around it.
My consulting services focus on identifying drift, exposing hidden configuration layers and uncovering the operational truth behind complex systems.

Below are my core offerings. Each service is designed to deliver clarity, actionable insight and predictable outcomes.

Infrastructure Drift & Configuration Health Audit Link to heading

Modern IT landscapes evolve faster than teams can document or control.
Defaults propagate silently, configuration layers influence each other, and runtime behavior diverges from what architectures and repositories suggest.

This audit provides:

  • A clear picture of your actual configuration state
  • Drift detection across environments and systems
  • Identification of conflicting defaults and hidden layers
  • A prioritized list of risks and inconsistencies
  • Actionable recommendations to restore predictability

If your platforms behave differently than expected, this audit reveals why.

CMDB Reality Check Link to heading

Most CMDBs reflect intentions — not reality.
Over time, the gap between documentation and the real environment grows until operational decisions rely on outdated or incorrect information.

This engagement analyzes:

  • What’s in the CMDB vs. what actually exists
  • Missing, outdated or contradictory entries
  • Sources of drift between truth and documentation
  • Data lineage and ingestion inconsistencies
  • A practical strategy for restoring accuracy

If your CMDB is no longer trusted, this check shows how far it has drifted — and how to fix it.

Infrastructure Discovery & Insight Pilot Link to heading

A lightweight introduction focusing on real-world behavior, configuration structure and cross-system dependencies.
This pilot collects configuration data, normalizes it and highlights patterns, inconsistencies and hidden relationships that are otherwise hard to detect.

The pilot includes:

  • Targeted system discovery
  • Structural normalization of configuration data
  • Drift, dependency and inconsistency mapping
  • Runtime and configuration insight
  • A summary of key findings and opportunities

If you need clarity before you can act, the Insight Pilot provides a factual foundation.

  • Infrastructure Drift & Configuration Health Audit   0001-01-01

    Infrastructure Drift & Configuration Health Audit Link to heading Modern infrastructure rarely behaves the way teams expect. Configuration layers interact, defaults propagate silently, and environments drift apart over time — often without anyone noticing. This audit exposes the real configuration state of your systems by analyzing what is actually applied, active and influencing behavior at runtime. What I Analyze Link to heading 1. Drift Across Environments Link to heading Differences between Dev, Test, Stage and Prod Unexpected changes or silent mutations Runtime deviations from repository definitions 2.

  • Infrastructure Discovery & Insight Pilot   0001-01-01

    Infrastructure Discovery & Insight Pilot Link to heading Before you can improve, automate or secure an environment, you need to understand what is actually there — not just what is documented or assumed. This pilot provides a focused, low-friction way to uncover real configuration structures, dependencies, drift patterns and runtime behavior across selected systems. What This Pilot Does Link to heading 1. Targeted System Discovery Link to heading Collection of relevant configuration and state Filtering of noise vs.

  • CMDB Reality Check   0001-01-01

    CMDB Reality Check Link to heading Most CMDBs describe how the environment was intended to look. Reality moves faster — systems appear, evolve and drift long before documentation catches up. This engagement uncovers the truth behind your configuration data and provides a clear comparison between the CMDB and the technical reality of your infrastructure. What I Analyze Link to heading 1. CMDB vs. Real System Inventory Link to heading Missing or outdated entries Incorrect attributes and ownership Divergence caused by lifecycle inconsistencies 2.
