Chris Edwards has 20 years in technology, Amazon Ads infrastructure experience, and Fortune 100 cloud training background. That matters whether ECG is reviewing cloud spend, designing architecture, preparing evidence, testing security posture, or building practical AI workflows.
Customers usually come to ECG with a concrete technology problem: cloud spend that needs explanation, architecture that needs senior engineering, evidence that needs to be ready, security posture that needs testing, or automation that needs to be useful instead of theatrical.
The Amazon chapter shaped the standard. Chris worked on ad infrastructure that had to survive NFL Sundays, NBA playoffs, and Prime Day. Cost optimization was not theoretical there; rightsizing and demand-based scaling produced real savings under real operational pressure.
Before that, Chris trained Fortune 100 security and engineering teams on cloud architecture and security. That background is why ECG can move from cost review into full solutions architecture, evidence readiness, security testing, or AI integration work when the customer needs it.
ECG does not start with a generic transformation story. The work starts with the problem in front of the customer, then moves into the right architecture, implementation, evidence, security, or AI path.
CostCut helps when AWS spend is the pain. Solutions architecture handles structural cloud work. ShieldPoint supports evidence readiness. Sentinel handles authorized security testing across web, API, infrastructure, cloud, AI systems, and advanced prompt injection assessment. AI integration helps when manual workflows are slowing the business down.
Started in South Florida, built a career across the Southeast in systems architecture, network security, and cloud infrastructure. Learned the hard way what breaks at scale - and how to build things that don't.
Trained enterprise security and engineering teams at Fortune 100 companies on AWS architecture and cloud security. Delivered the kind of deep technical education that changes how teams think about infrastructure.
Spent three years building and scaling the ad infrastructure behind NFL Sundays, NBA playoffs, and Prime Day. Saved millions annually through rightsizing and demand-based auto scaling. These aren't talking points - they're systems I built.
Got laid off when Amazon eliminated remote positions. Instead of finding another job, I started ECG. Not because I had to - because I'd seen too many businesses getting generic consulting from people who'd never actually built what they were recommending.
The principles behind every engagement
I don't do cookie-cutter. Every client gets a solution built around their actual environment, their actual constraints, and their actual goals. No templates. No copy-paste architecture.
The organizations that need the most help are often the ones who can't afford big-firm fees. I bring 20 years of enterprise-grade experience to clients who wouldn't otherwise have access to it.
Based in Swansboro, NC - 10 miles from Camp Lejeune and Cherry Point. I understand the defense contractor landscape in Eastern NC in a way that a consultant flying in from Charlotte doesn't. And I work just as effectively with clients nationwide.
If a project isn't the right fit, I'll say so. If the approach you're considering is going to cost you more than it saves, I'll tell you before you spend the money. That's the kind of consultant I wanted when I was on the other side of the table.
If AWS spend is part of the problem, start with CostCut. If the problem is architecture, security, compliance, or AI, bring that directly.
