Consulting
Enterprise automation engineered for long-term operations.
Senior-level engagement, hands-on delivery, and standards your teams can maintain after the engagement ends. Four practices that usually arrive together.
Enterprise Automation
Typical problems
- —Playbooks that only their author can safely run
- —No testing, so every change is a production experiment
- —Copy-pasted content duplicated across teams
- —Automation nobody can audit or hand over
Approach
Start from the estate you already have: inventory what exists, find what can be reused, and rebuild the rest as roles and collections with tests and documentation as a condition of done. Standards are written down and enforced in CI, not left as convention.
Deliverables
- ✓ Ansible playbooks, roles and collections
- ✓ Workflow automation
- ✓ Written automation standards
- ✓ Molecule and lint pipelines
- ✓ Documentation and handover
Technologies
- Ansible
- Molecule
- ansible-lint
- Execution Environments
- Galaxy / private collections
Example engagement
A team with several hundred unversioned playbooks moves to a tested collection structure, with CI gates and a documented contribution model.
Platform Engineering
Typical problems
- —AWX installed years ago and now unupgradeable
- —Execution Environments built by hand, drifting per team
- —No RBAC model, so everyone is an admin
- —Platform changes made in the UI and lost
Approach
Rebuild the platform on the operator, declare it in Git, and make upgrades a routine rehearsed operation. Execution Environments get a build pipeline and a private registry. Access follows a real RBAC model mapped to your identity provider.
Deliverables
- ✓ AWX and AAP architecture
- ✓ Automation Controller design
- ✓ Kubernetes / OpenShift deployment via AWX Operator
- ✓ Execution Environment build pipeline
- ✓ Private registry
- ✓ RBAC model
- ✓ Upgrade and migration runbooks
- ✓ GitOps and IaC
Technologies
- AWX Operator
- Red Hat AAP
- OpenShift
- Kubernetes
- Kustomize
- GitOps
- Docker
Example engagement
A legacy AWX install is replaced with an operator-based deployment defined in Kustomize, with configuration-as-code and a tested upgrade path.
AI-Enabled Operations
Typical problems
- —LLM pilots with unrestricted access to production systems
- —No record of what a model was told or allowed to do
- —Incident data sent to third parties without anonymization
- —Assistants that recommend actions nobody can verify
Approach
AI gets scoped tools, not credentials. Every integration goes through an orchestration layer that anonymizes incident data, records what was retrieved and returned, and requires human approval for any change. Read-only by default; write paths are explicit and audited.
Deliverables
- ✓ MCP tool integrations
- ✓ RAG over approved internal sources
- ✓ FastAPI orchestration services
- ✓ Copilot workflows
- ✓ ServiceNow tool integrations
- ✓ Incident-data anonymization
- ✓ Governance and audit records
Technologies
- MCP
- RAG
- FastAPI
- Python
- Microsoft Copilot
- ServiceNow
- LLM orchestration
Example engagement
An L1/L2 support workflow gets context enrichment from approved sources, with anonymized incident data and human approval before any automation runs.
DevSecOps & Enterprise Integrations
Typical problems
- —Credentials hard-coded in playbooks and pipelines
- —Automation that bypasses change management
- —No CMDB record of what automation touched
- —Compliance evidence assembled by hand before an audit
Approach
Wire automation into the systems your organization already trusts: secrets from Vault or CyberArk, identity from AD or Azure AD, change records in ServiceNow, logs in Splunk. Security gates run in CI so a non-compliant change cannot reach production.
Deliverables
- ✓ Vault and CyberArk integration
- ✓ LDAP / Active Directory and Azure AD
- ✓ ServiceNow and CMDB integration
- ✓ Microsoft Graph
- ✓ Splunk logging
- ✓ CI/CD pipelines
- ✓ Security and compliance gates
Technologies
- HashiCorp Vault
- CyberArk
- LDAP / AD
- Azure AD
- Microsoft Graph
- ServiceNow
- Splunk
- GitLab CI/CD
- Jenkins
- GitHub Actions
Example engagement
Identity lifecycle automation runs against Azure AD and Microsoft Graph, pulls secrets from Vault, and writes an auditable record to ServiceNow for every action.
How engagements run.
Direct senior-level work. No account layer, no junior hand-off.
- ✓ Discovery call to establish scope and constraints
- ✓ A written scope with deliverables and acceptance criteria
- ✓ Hands-on delivery, in your repositories and your pipelines
- ✓ Knowledge transfer and documentation as part of done
- ✓ Remote-first across Europe and Latin America, CET/CEST
Rates and engagement models are discussed per engagement.

Bring the constraint — the upgrade you cannot risk, the audit you cannot evidence, the automation only one person can run.
