About Jaime
I'm Jaime. I run Hecaton because I kept meeting teams who shipped MVPs brilliantly and then drowned in their own infra. Hecaton is the studio I would have hired, five roles ago.
How I got here
I started in technical support, the unglamorous work of keeping an office running. That's where I learnt the habits that still show up in everything I build: document the system, automate the boring, own the outage.
I moved into DevOps at Findasense, then platform engineering at Eva Global and Amenitiz, a mix of mid-market SaaS, hospitality tech, and a global BPO. Terraform, multi-account AWS, SOC-2 compliance, observability rollouts, and cost cuts that actually stuck. Different stacks, same work: bring order to chaos.
I launched Hecaton because fractional work seems more necessary than ever. Part-time and principal-led.
Track record
Outcomes from a decade of platform work across employed roles — anonymised by employer shape, named by my role at the time.
- 52% AWS bill cut as Senior SRE at hospitality-tech Series B
- 95% fewer outages in 3 months as Senior DevOps at mid-market SaaS
- SOC 2 compliance as Senior Platform Engineer at several separate engagements
- Observability rolled out across 80+ AWS accounts as Senior Platform Engineer at EVS based scale-up
- 40% CI/CD spend cut as Senior Platform Engineer at same EVS based scale-up
How I work
- Document the system on the way in. Every engagement leaves behind runbooks a new hire can read on day one.
- Infrastructure-as-code, always. If it's only in a cloud console it doesn't exist.
- FinOps baked in. Cost conversations happen while decisions are reversible.
- Strong opinions, loosely held. I'll argue my case, then commit to your team's decision.
- No hand-holding. I manage my own work, you don't need to chase me for status.
