Make your infrastructure boring. Then put AI to work on it.

Boring means it deploys on Friday, survives a reboot, and doesn't depend on one person's memory. We take over, fix and run cloud and Kubernetes platforms on AWS, Google Cloud and Azure, then build AI on top that your security team will sign off on.

Founder's track record across previous infrastructure roles.

Why companies call us

Usually it's one of these.

01
Your ops person left and took the knowledge with them.

Servers nobody dares reboot, pipelines nobody understands, a cron job that might be important.

02
Deploys are manual, slow, and a little scary.

You want CI/CD and infrastructure as code, but nobody has time to set it up properly.

03
A cloud migration is due and downtime is not an option.

To AWS, Google Cloud or Azure, to Kubernetes, or off a platform you have outgrown.

04
The board wants AI. Nobody knows where to start.

Or the pilot worked in a demo and quietly died before it reached real users.

AI engineering

Plenty of AI demos work. Far fewer make it to production.

Connecting a chatbot to an API takes an afternoon. Running it for real customers raises harder questions about where the data lives, who is allowed to see it, what it costs each month and what happens when it gets something wrong. We come from infrastructure, so we start with those.

Private LLMs & RAG

Ask questions of your own contracts, manuals and tickets. Open-weight models on your cloud or on-prem, or OpenAI and Anthropic with the right data controls in place.

Agents & automation

Agents that triage tickets, fill in forms, draft replies and pull context from your systems. A person approves anything that matters.

GPU & MLOps infrastructure

Model serving, GPU scheduling on Kubernetes, pipelines and cost controls. We've run GPU workloads for NLP in production.

AI readiness audit

A two-week, fixed-price review of which use cases would pay off, what your data allows and what each option costs to run. It also tells you what not to build.

And if AI isn't the right answer to your problem, we'll say so on the first call. A good script is sometimes cheaper than a model.

Ways to work with us

Four ways to work with us

Every engagement has a fixed scope and a price agreed before we start. Most clients begin with an audit, and keep the report whatever they decide next.

DevOps & Cloud Build

CI/CD, infrastructure as code and Kubernetes, set up properly once.

  • Terraform and Ansible for everything
  • Pipelines in GitHub, GitLab or Azure DevOps
  • Migrations to AWS, GCP or Azure
  • Handover docs your team can follow
Fixed price, quoted after the audit

AI Pilot

One use case, from idea to real users in 4–6 weeks.

  • Use case and success metric agreed upfront
  • Data pipeline and retrieval
  • Deployed on your cloud, with access controls
  • Cost and quality monitoring
Fixed price, quoted after scoping

Platform Operations

Your platform team, without hiring a full-time SRE.

  • Patching, upgrades, certificates
  • Kubernetes upgrades and GitOps
  • Response times agreed in writing
  • Monthly report: changes, risks, costs
Monthly, cancel anytime
What we run for you →
You own everything

Code, Terraform, pipelines and docs live in your repos and your accounts. Never ours.

No lock-in

Monthly contracts. If you leave, we hand over cleanly and help the next team.

Read-only first

We look before we touch. Every change after that goes through review.

Price agreed upfront

Fixed scope and fixed fee. Any change to the scope is agreed in writing before extra work starts.

How we're different

We don't trust the documentation. We verify it.

Every fact in our reports carries a status: what we proved ourselves, what we only saw, what someone told us, and what nobody knows yet. You see exactly where the risk sits.

We built our own tool for this, InfraOps. Its AI assistant always tells you how it knows what it's telling you, so nobody mistakes a guess for a fact about your production.

Who you'll work with

Ciprian Potor

Founder & principal engineer

I've spent more than eleven years keeping production systems alive, and more than eight writing software. I studied computer science, and I still read the application code before I blame the infrastructure.

Along the way I ran bare-metal operations across 25,000+ servers at a large US hosting provider, handled thousands of migrations at a managed cloud company and built GPU infrastructure for NLP and machine-learning workloads. These days I work on enterprise Kubernetes platforms, hybrid cloud and SSO systems used in healthcare.

Because I come from both sides, I look at a production problem as a whole: the application code, the operating system, the network and the platform underneath. Most outages live in the gaps between those layers.

Lately, much of my time goes into AI engineering: deploying LLMs on GPUs, and building agent workflows that take repetitive work off people's desks. I'm also building InfraOps, our own platform for evidence-based infrastructure takeovers.

Understand the systems beneath the abstractions. Write code that solves real problems. Automate what makes sense. Build infrastructure that stays reliable when things go wrong.

Center Process is founder-led. You talk to the engineer doing the work, not an account manager. When a project needs more hands, I bring in senior specialists I've worked with before, and you'll know exactly who they are.

Before you book a call

Do you work with AWS, Azure and Google Cloud?

Yes, all three, plus bare metal. We'll recommend whichever one fits your team and budget.

Can we use AI without our data going to OpenAI, Anthropic or anyone else?

Yes. Open-weight models such as Llama, Qwen or Mistral can run entirely on your own servers or private cloud, so nothing leaves your network. If you'd rather use a managed model, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock and Google Vertex AI process requests inside your own cloud account and region, under enterprise terms where your data isn't used for training. We compare quality, cost and compliance for each option before you choose.

Which time zones do you cover?

We're in Romania (EET). Full overlap with Europe, and morning overlap with the US East Coast.

What if it turns out we don't need you?

Then you have a clear report and a plan your own team can execute. That's a good outcome too.

Tell us what you're running, or what you want AI to do.

20 minutes with an engineer, not a salesperson. No slides, no obligation.
