Elite Mentorship • Selective Admission • Limited Cohort
Autonomous Infrastructure Architect Fellowship
A six-month, high-touch mentorship designed to accelerate engineers into principal-level platform thinking, reliability architecture, and AI-augmented systems design—using the V1–V10 Platform Model.
Built for serious engineers, career transitioners, and technical leaders
This is not a content library. This is not a bootcamp. It is a disciplined, outcomes-driven mentorship designed to help you build real systems, develop architectural maturity, and become the person who can own reliability under pressure.
Who this is for
Ideal candidates
- Engineers ready to move from implementer to architect
- Cloud/DevOps/SRE professionals preparing for senior–principal roles
- Career transitioners committed to building a real technical foundation
- Founders and technical leaders who need platform-grade execution
Not a fit
- Anyone looking for shortcuts or “quick cert” outcomes
- Casual learners who won’t build weekly
- People who prefer theory over hands-on delivery
- Anyone unwilling to be coached and challenged
The V1–V10 Platform Model
We use versions to drive maturity: from local execution to autonomous, constraint-aware systems that operate reliably at scale.
What you will build
Production-grade platform assets
- A real web application delivered in parallel using Express (Node.js) and Flask (Python)
- Local testing, containerization, and Docker Compose orchestration
- Infrastructure as Code using Terraform (modular, environment-ready)
- CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and GitOps deployment with ArgoCD
Enterprise-level simulations
- A FinTech simulation to stress, throttle, and validate reliability under load
- A Healthcare simulation to model safety constraints and operational integrity
- Observability stack design (metrics, logs, traces) with actionable dashboards
- Failure injection and recovery playbooks for incident-grade readiness
Cloud execution path
You will progress from local builds to real cloud deployment, then standardize on Kubernetes across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Local → Containers
Test locally, then containerize and orchestrate with Docker Compose.
Images → Registry
Build, tag, and push container images to a cloud registry (ECR).
Kubernetes → Multi-Cloud
Deploy to EKS, then replicate patterns to AKS and GKE using Terraform + GitOps.
How the fellowship works
Duration
Six months
Commitment
8–12 hours per week
Structure
Weekly architecture reviews, labs, code critique, and implementation milestones
High-touch mentorship
- Live system design and architecture walkthroughs
- Repo reviews and feedback loops to improve quality
- Incident thinking: diagnosing, stabilizing, and documenting
- Interview readiness: principal-level narratives and whiteboarding
Deliverables you leave with
- A portfolio-grade multi-cloud platform with clear documentation
- Runbooks, diagrams, and production-style operational artifacts
- A repeatable platform blueprint you can reuse for jobs or consulting
- A credibility story grounded in real builds, not buzzwords
