Paul Clilverd · Solutions Architect
I bring over 25 years of enterprise IT experience to designing and implementing solutions. This portfolio documents my hands-on AWS projects, the decisions behind them and the evidence used to evaluate their results.

Each case study connects requirements to decisions, implementation and verification. Project status reflects the work completed.
In progress · Synchronous baseline tested
Investigating how a synchronous order-processing application behaves under load, then evaluating an event-driven design against the recorded baseline.
Evidence collected: working Node.js/Express API and baseline performance results in CSV and JSON.
Read the case study →Planned
A serverless application project exploring authentication, API design, data storage and operational visibility.
Previous lab work · Case study planned
Exploring hybrid connectivity, routing and DNS through Transit Gateway, site-to-site VPN and Route 53 Resolver labs.
How I work
Establish the business problem, measurable requirements, constraints and baseline behaviour.
Compare alternatives and record why a design fits, including its costs, risks and trade-offs.
Implement, observe and test the solution. Report measured results, limitations and lessons learned.
About Paul
My background includes extensive solutions architecture work at Cisco, spanning enterprise applications, networking, resilience and complex migrations.
I enjoy architecture and implementation equally. My current projects deepen my practical experience in AWS application architecture, event-driven systems, microservices and Infrastructure as Code.
Based in the UK, with an interest in AWS architecture and consulting opportunities.
