Projects
A defined piece of work — building a platform, reviewing an architecture, planning a migration. We agree on the scope, do the work, and wrap up cleanly.

Infrastructure that just works.
Hands-on cloud consulting from an engineer who works alongside your team — not above it.

Philosophy
Build things that make sense. Not the most clever solution — the most maintainable one. No layers of project managers. No surprise invoices. Just good work.
Two ways to work together
Advisory Retainers
For systems we've built together, I'm happy to stick around. A direct line to the engineer who knows your infrastructure — for tricky questions, unexpected breakages, or big decisions.
On-call escalation for critical incidents can be arranged too — just ask.
Our approach
- Maintainability first
- Everything we recommend comes from real experience running production systems. We build things you can understand and maintain long after we're done.
- Honest about trade-offs
- We're upfront about what we think, transparent about trade-offs, and we don't nickel and dime. If something takes less time than expected, you'll hear about it.
- Selective by design
- We're a small operation, which means we choose what we take on carefully. We're not a managed service provider or a 24/7 support desk — we're consultants who do deep, focused work.
- Support what we know
- Advisory retainers are available for systems we've built together. We want to support what we know well, so we can actually be useful when it matters.
About
Marq is a small, privately held consulting firm. We work directly with your team — no account managers, no layers of abstraction. When you hire us, you get senior engineers who care about doing the work right.
Kubernetes is our home turf. We hold the Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) certification and have hands-on experience with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliant systems.
We believe in building things that are simple enough to understand, reliable enough to trust, and maintainable long after we're done. We're not here to pad hours or upsell — we're here to help.
