Felix Godbout · Infrastructure Architect

Own the infrastructure you're paying for.

Most organizations rent their entire stack — and own nothing after three years. I design infrastructure that belongs to you. For teams that can't afford to get it wrong.

30 minutes. A hard cost number. No follow-up cadence.

01 — The problem

Three years in, most companies do the math. It's always the same.

01
You've spent six figures and own nothing.

SaaS sprawl compounds quietly. By the time the renewal lands, there's no asset, no equity, and no leverage left to negotiate.

02
Your vendors are steering the decisions.

With no senior technical advisor in the room, procurement defaults to whoever calls most often. You end up buying margin, not outcomes.

03
Your environment grew without a plan.

Infrastructure that scaled without architecture has gaps. Audits find them, incidents exploit them, and complex projects stall without senior ownership.

There's a better equation Keep reading — it's worth it.
02 — The math

A 30-person company on $6,000/month in SaaS owns nothing after three years.

That's $216,000 of pure operating expense — gone. The same budget, architected once, buys infrastructure you keep.

04 — Why me

If it had to work at the federal perimeter, it works here.

Fifteen years across federal policing, national cybersecurity operations, and Tier-1 financial infrastructure — then startups, consulting, and executive mandates. The problems don't stop at the government perimeter, and neither does the standard I build to.
