I want to help you achieve sustainable growth with high availability in mind.

What I offer is a hands-on approach to your infrastructure and ensure that you are set up for future growth in your tech stack. I want to help your early stage startup grow to meet demand while you concentrate on shipping your product.

Hi, I'm Ian Paredes, and I've been an SRE/sysadmin/software engineer for about 15+ years. I'm based in NYC and grew up in Seattle, with short stints here and there in London and Berlin.

I've worked in a ton of different environments - large scale corporations such as Amazon and Disney, to small startups such as Jambool, as well as medium-sized biotech companies and edtech companies such as Seattle Biomed and GoGuardian. I have a lot of experience in architecting developer-friendly solutions that not only makes delivering software faster and easier, but also is built appropriately for your environment with your needs in mind.

Check out the tech stacks and companies I've worked with on my LinkedIn.

Services

I can identify how your process works today, collaborate with you to iterate on that process, and ensure that the solution can scale for future growth. Sometimes that solution can be a stop-gap until you get more funding or more customers onboarded - but however that looks like, I can help you build a plan and infrastructure that supports longer term goals. Usually this involves off the shelf components, but this could also be a custom solution that we come up with.

Services
