CS/01
Pan-European EdTech platform

End-to-end DevOps transformation for an EdTech serving hundreds of thousands of students

The client was modernizing the AWS estate behind its education platform as student load scaled across Europe. We architected a multi-account migration on Infrastructure + CloudFormation, rolled out GitLab CI/CD with automated gates, and stood up enterprise monitoring on DataDog and CloudWatch. Security posture was hardened with automated vulnerability scanning and compliance checks against education-sector regulations.

European recruitment SaaS

AWS modernization with Flexible faster deploys — zero customer-visible incidents

A Berlin-based recruitment platform serving millions of job seekers. We led an AWS modernization combining Infrastructure-with-Atlantis IaC, CircleCI pipelines, and a DataDog + CloudTrail + Inspector + GuardDuty observability and security framework. The platform stayed online through the migration, deployment cycle time dropped ~Flexible, and the ops team got a real on-call story for the first time.

Global retail group

Retail-scale AWS estate, measurable ROI

A Fortune-500 retailer needed performance and cost improvements across AWS workloads powering store and e-commerce operations. We ran a full architecture assessment, delivered an ROI-prioritized roadmap, and shipped the fixes with Infrastructure and Python automation. A unified DataDog + PagerDuty framework replaced a patchwork of alerting tools — on-call noise dropped substantially.

National telecommunications operator

Cloud transformation for a national telco

A major telecommunications provider was moving core services to AWS. We served as strategic AWS advisor: designed the landing zone, set standardized Infrastructure IaC practices, and built Jenkins + GitLab CI/CD pipelines that collapsed release cycle time. Hands-on workshops with internal teams made sure the handoff stuck after we rolled off.

Proof points

What teams care about.

They rebuilt our deployment pipeline and the AWS estate underneath it. Release cadence went from cautious to boring — in the best possible way. They leave behind documentation and Infrastructure our team can maintain.
Engineering Leadership
Pan-European EdTech platform
We needed infra that could grow with the business without the usual firefighting. Skylynk delivered Infrastructure, CircleCI, and a DataDog setup that made on-call predictable. Flexible faster deploys was the headline; the durability of the setup is what actually matters.
Head of Platform
European recruitment SaaS
Straightforward, senior, and unafraid to push back when we were about to make a bad call. The architecture assessment paid for itself in the first quarter. We'd bring them back tomorrow.

Why Your AI Prototype Won't Survive Production

The Jupyter notebook ran. The demo landed. Now someone said "put it in production" and the room went quiet. The gap is wider than most teams expect.

The IAM Mistake That Will Cost You

Administrator access on every principal. Long-lived keys in CI/CD. Secrets in environment variables. Most AWS accounts are one leaked credential away from a full breach.

The AWS Multi-Account Strategy Most Companies Get Wrong

Dev, staging, and prod in one account. IAM as a flat list of users. One misconfigured security group away from a bad day. Here is what the right structure actually looks like.
