Production AI Systems for AWS Platform Teams. Designed right. Deployed fast.

I help platform and DevOps teams ship production AI systems on AWS — with clear architecture, cost-aware design, and systems your team can actually run and own.

The decisions your team is navigating right now

We're adding AI capabilities to our platform this quarter. We're strong on cloud infrastructure but new to production AI. What's the fastest path?
Bedrock, OpenAI, or self-hosted — what are the real tradeoffs at our scale and budget?
Our AI infra costs are growing faster than expected. What's the right architecture to bring them down?
We need production-grade RAG — not a tutorial prototype. What does that actually look like on AWS?
How do we implement guardrails and prompt safety before this is customer-facing?
We want to build an internal AI platform so product teams can ship AI features independently.
Our current CI/CD wasn't designed for AI workloads. What does a modern AI deployment pipeline look like?

These are infrastructure decisions that benefit from someone who's already solved them at scale. That's what I do.


From diagnosis to production — a clear path

Best fit: AWS-first engineering teams with existing infrastructure and engineering maturity that want to move fast on AI without creating chaos or runaway costs. Not early-stage prototypes or one-off experiments.

01 — DIAGNOSE

AI Opportunity Audit

Before we build, we map. A deep-dive technical review of your AWS environment to identify where AI fits, what architecture makes sense, and where cost and operational risk show up. Most teams are overspending on inference, retrieval, or compute — they just don't know where yet. The audit makes that visible.

Starts with
Architecture review + cost analysis
Best for
Teams adding AI for the first time, or teams with rising AI costs
Timeline
1–2 weeks
Outcome
A roadmap your team can execute with confidence
Deliverables
Technical gap analysis for AI readiness
Target architecture and decision documentation
Cost audit with immediate optimization opportunities
Prioritized sprint roadmap for implementation
Bedrock vs OpenAI vs Self-hosted RAG Architecture FinOps for AI Model Selection Compute Right-Sizing
02 — BUILD

Modernization Sprint

This is where the roadmap turns into production systems your team can extend immediately. I embed with your team for short, high-intensity sprints to build the AI infrastructure designed in the audit. Training happens through the build — your team learns by shipping.

Starts with
Audit roadmap or clearly scoped initiative
Best for
Platform teams at 100–500 person AWS-first companies
Timeline
2–4 week focused sprints
Outcome
Deployed system + capable team
Deliverables
Production-ready AI workflows (RAG, agents, inference)
Integrated with your existing CI/CD and security guardrails
Cost-aware architecture — no surprise bills
Infrastructure as code + deployment pipelines
Clean documentation and operational handoff
Embedded enablement — your team is trained through the build
Bedrock Integration RAG Pipelines AI Platform Engineering CI/CD Modernization Guardrails AI Agents Deployment Workflows
03 — ADVISE

Custom Advisory

For teams that need ongoing guidance or more complex rollouts. Fractional architecture leadership, platform strategy, or long-term modernization — scoped to your constraints.

Examples
Fractional AI architect — ongoing code review, design guidance, architecture decisions
Internal AI platform strategy for multi-team organizations
Enterprise AI migration planning and execution oversight
Tailored engagement scoped to your specific constraints and timeline
ALSO AVAILABLE

Standalone Team Enablement

If your team needs upskilling without a full implementation engagement, I offer hands-on training tailored to your stack. Not slides and theory — real architecture patterns, real services, real deployments.

Custom bootcamps (half-day / full-day)
Internal hackathons
Team workshops & labs
Custom courses
Lunch & learns
Enablement sessions
RAG Architecture Patterns Bedrock & AWS AI Services AI Cost Management Guardrails & Security AI for DevOps / AIOps Platform Engineering

How we work together

Every engagement starts with a conversation. Most clients follow the Audit → Sprint path, but we'll figure out what makes sense for you.

01

Free Discovery Call

30 minutes. We discuss your stack, your goals, and figure out whether an Audit, Sprint, or Advisory engagement is the right starting point. No pitch.

02

The Audit

A paid deep-dive into your AWS environment. You get a written architecture roadmap, a cost audit, and a prioritized execution plan. This is where most engagements begin.

03

Sprint Build

Short, focused implementation cycles — weeks, not months. I embed with your team and we ship the highest-value parts of the roadmap together.

04

You Own It

Documentation, handoff, and a team that understands every decision behind the system. You can maintain and extend it without me.


Who I Am

I'm Saurav, the engineer behind CloudYeti. I spent 6 years at Amazon — first as a Senior Technical Account Manager managing $100M+ enterprise cloud accounts, then as a Software Development Engineer building LLM platforms, RAG pipelines, and agentic AI workflows.

I hold 12 AWS certifications including Solutions Architect Professional, AI Practitioner, and DevOps Professional. My YouTube channel has over 1.3M views from cloud and DevOps engineers learning to build production AI systems.

I started CloudYeti because I kept seeing the same pattern: platform teams with deep infrastructure expertise that were ready to add AI capabilities but needed someone who'd already built these systems at scale to accelerate the path. That's what I do.
