less stress, more success!

What I Do

I help technology leaders bridge architecture and execution—making complex systems stable, scalable, and smart.

Cloud Architecture & Continuity

Resilient foundations that stay up when it matters most. From hybrid cloud patterns to recovery and compliance.

  • Multi-cloud landing zones, governance, observability
  • High-availability design & business continuity
  • Hands-on recovery & modernization expertise

DevOps & Platform Enablement

Pipelines, platforms, and playbooks that keep teams shipping—fast, and safely.

  • CI/CD automation & GitOps adoption
  • Kubernetes, EKS & container orchestration
  • Platform frameworks that scale with control

Applied AI/ML & Automation

Translating AI strategy into something real, measurable, and deployable.

  • Practical AI integrations in enterprise workflows
  • MLOps, lifecycle management & guardrails
  • Automation that amplifies human judgment

How We Work Together

I collaborate with organizations and individuals looking to bridge strategy and execution—through conversations, not contracts.

Speaking

Keynotes, panels, and AMAs that make complex technology practical.

  • Executive keynotes, internal tech forums, conferences
  • Cloud, DevOps, AI strategy—less hype, more signal
  • Actionable takeaways for real environments

Coaching

Guidance for technology and business leaders—1:1 or small groups.

  • Translate technical direction into business impact
  • Architecture reviews, clarity, accountability
  • Shaped by operational experience

Mentoring

For professionals navigating architecture, operations, or career shifts in tech.

  • Personalized feedback on decisions and paths
  • Systems thinking & influence frameworks
  • Designed to empower, not prescribe

Proof in Practice

I’ve spent years helping teams make technology work in production—where outages, constraints, and real deadlines live.

Stabilizing a National Energy Platform

  • Challenge: Legacy middleware, variable load
  • Approach: Guardrails, observability, HA patterns
  • Outcome: Zero Sev-1s for 9 months; MTTR ↓ ~40%

Reducing Release Friction

  • Challenge: Manual weekend releases
  • Approach: CI/CD, IaC policies, rollback playbooks
  • Outcome: Business-hours releases; fewer failed changes

Operational Continuity in Hybrid Cloud

  • Challenge: Fragmented visibility & alerts
  • Approach: Unified monitoring, SLOs, DR exercises
  • Outcome: MTTR ↓ ~55%; better incident signal

Talks That Connect Tech, Leadership, and Real Outcomes

From cloud transformation to platform resilience, I share practical lessons drawn from real architectures and real constraints.

The Real Cost of Cloud Simplicity

Design platforms that stay simple as they scale.

DevOps Isn’t Dead, It’s Misunderstood

Make DevOps work at enterprise scale—culture, not a team.

Operational Continuity: Architecture That Survives Monday

Build systems (and teams) that don’t break when production does.

AI/ML Strategy for Architects: From Pilot to Platform

Move from PoC to platform without breaking guardrails.

The Platform Engineer’s Playbook

Enable speed with golden paths—not golden cages.

Talking Tech to Non-Tech Leaders

Translate without dumbing down. Influence with clarity.

About Eli

Portrait of Eliezer Chavez

I’m Eliezer “Eli” Chavez — a hands-on architect who’s spent more than a decade building, rescuing, and modernizing enterprise platforms across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments.

I focus on turning technical complexity into operational clarity, working with teams to stabilize, simplify, and scale the foundations that keep businesses running.

  • Design for recovery, not perfection. Systems fail—what matters is how quickly they heal.
  • Make strategy executable. A good architecture tells the organization what not to build.
  • Automate responsibly. Automation should multiply judgment, not replace it.
  • Keep humans in the loop. The best platforms are built around the people who run them.
