I architect cloud platforms and AI agents that hold up in production.

I'm Ryan Banzuela Ayala. For 16+ years I've designed and built systems for retail, healthcare, analytics and education, covering the architecture, the code and the infrastructure on AWS and Azure.

One IaC platform for AWS and Azure

Our Terraform and Terragrunt platform builds production-style environments on both clouds from one codebase. It starts with a governed foundation, adds reusable modules, and ships ready-made solutions that you can stand up for a session and tear down afterwards, each with its cost known up front.

L1 · Foundation

Governed accounts

Separate dev, staging and prod environments with single sign-on and budget alerts from day one.

Organization · OUs · Identity CenterManagement groups · Entra · Budgets
L2 · Modules

30 reusable modules

Networking, compute, containers, Kubernetes, databases, serverless, static sites and CI identity.

16 AWS modules14 Azure modules
L3 · Solutions

3 patterns × 2 clouds

Each solution has its own network and state, so it can be applied and destroyed without touching the others.

ec2-small · ecs-fargate · eksvm-small · container-apps · aks
L4 · Operations

A console on top

A Next.js console that draws, plans, applies, monitors and costs every solution. Terragrunt stays the source of truth.

01 · Security

Private by default

No SSH ports open to the internet, no public IPs on workloads, and secrets in Secrets Manager or Key Vault. Pods and apps reach them through workload identity instead of access keys.

02 · Cost

Priced before it's built

Every solution documents its monthly and hourly cost. Arm64 compute, Spot nodes, fck-nat, Aurora auto-pause and the AKS Free tier keep labs cheap.

03 · Portability

Same pattern, either cloud

Each AWS solution has an Azure twin with a documented service-by-service mapping, so trade-offs can be compared on facts.

03 · Capabilities

What I bring to a team

I own a system from the first sequence diagram to the release pipeline, and I stay with it after go-live.

A · AI agents

GenAI & agents

Assistants and agents grounded in company data, with tool calling, speech-to-text and document intelligence.

Claude · Bedrock · Azure OpenAI · Semantic Kernel · MCP · Microsoft Agent Framework · llama.cpp · Ollama
B · Cloud

Cloud infrastructure

Landing zones, networking, containers and serverless on both clouds, all written as code.

AWS: VPC · ECS · EKS · Lambda · Step Functions · RDS · DynamoDB
Azure: ACA · AKS · Functions · Cosmos DB · DevOps
C · Architecture

System design

Microservices, modular monoliths, event-driven and onion architectures, and the gateways that tie them together.

YARP · Ocelot · RabbitMQ · Redis · SQS/SNS · OData · GraphQL
D · Engineering

Full-stack delivery

Backend, web and mobile apps built with SOLID principles, tests and CI/CD.
