Hi, I'm Scott Robertson

— Cloud Solutions Architect

I design cloud platforms that stay calm when traffic doesn't. For the last decade I've helped teams move from tangled data-centre setups to clean, secure, cost-aware architectures on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud — and I still sketch every one of them in a notebook first.

  • landing zones & multi-account strategy
  • migrations that don't wake anyone at 3am
  • Kubernetes, serverless & infrastructure as code
  • FinOps — making the cloud bill make sense

the short version

About me

I'm a Cloud Solutions Architect with 12+ years in infrastructure and software delivery. I started out racking servers, moved into DevOps when "the cloud" was still a buzzword, and now spend my days translating business goals into architectures that are secure, observable and boring in the best possible way.

My sweet spot is the space between engineering teams and leadership: running discovery workshops, drawing the target state, writing the decision records, and then rolling up my sleeves to build the first Terraform modules and pipelines alongside the team.

I believe good architecture is explainable on one page — if I can't sketch it in this notebook, it's probably too complicated.

              Project sketches

              A few recent builds, drawn the way they started — on paper.

              1

              Retail platform lift-and-modernise

              Moved a monolithic e-commerce platform (180 VMs) from a co-located data centre to AWS, splitting checkout and catalogue into containerised services on EKS with Aurora and ElastiCache.

              → 38% lower run cost, Black Friday peak handled at 6× normal load.

              Bank-grade Azure landing zone

              Designed a hub-and-spoke landing zone for a regulated financial services client: management-group hierarchy, Azure Policy guardrails, private endpoints, and automated subscription vending through pipelines.

              → new environments in under 30 minutes instead of 3 weeks, audit-ready from day one.

              Event-driven IoT telemetry pipeline

              Built a serverless streaming pipeline on Google Cloud for an energy-metering company, ingesting data from 250k smart meters into BigQuery for near-real-time dashboards and anomaly alerts.

              → latency cut from hours to ~8 seconds, ops team of two runs it.

              Multi-region DR & FinOps program

              Led a disaster-recovery redesign for a SaaS logistics provider, with active-passive regions, automated failover runbooks and quarterly game days — paired with tagging, rightsizing and savings-plan strategy.

              → €420k saved per year while doubling resilience.
