25 years writing production code. Enterprise architect. Now building exclusively on Cloudflare's edge platform.

Consulting through George Rios Consulting LLC — the Cloudflare-only consulting practice.

George Rios

The builder behind the practice

I've spent 25+ years writing production code — starting before C# was cool, back when ASP.NET Web Forms was cutting edge and deploying meant burning a CD. Over that time I've built custom software for enterprises across finance, healthcare, logistics, and SaaS. The kind of systems where downtime costs real money and a bad architecture decision compounds for a decade.

I led cloud migrations for companies moving billions in transactions. I served as Tech Lead and Interim CTO at Catch Health, a health insurance marketplace serving 400K+ members, where I architected AI-powered compliance monitoring, built integration layers across corporate systems, and led the technical team through rapid growth.

Before that, I spent years deep in insurance technology — MGAs, TGAs, brokers — environments where fragmentation doesn't just slow you down, it creates compliance risk and costs real money in manual commission reconciliation, delayed carrier launches, and agent churn. I built platforms, rescued failing projects, and learned what actually matters when shipping enterprise software.

The Pivot

Why Cloudflare, and only Cloudflare

After two decades of building on every major cloud — AWS, Azure, GCP — I noticed a pattern. Most consulting firms spread themselves thin across all three. They know a little about everything and a lot about nothing. Their architects spend half their time reading release notes for services they used once two years ago.

I decided to go the opposite direction. Deep expertise in one platform beats shallow knowledge of many. Cloudflare's developer platform was it — Workers, D1, R2, Durable Objects, Queues, KV, Vectorize. A complete runtime that deploys globally, scales to zero, and runs TypeScript end to end. No Kubernetes. No VPCs. No cold starts.

That conviction is the foundation of my consulting practice at George Rios Consulting LLC — a practice built entirely around Cloudflare's edge platform. Not "we also do Cloudflare." Cloudflare is all we do. Every architecture, every build sprint, every line of code runs on the same stack I use for my own products.

Built on Cloudflare

What I'm building now

Real products running at the edge. Not demos — software with users.

My approach

Four principles that guide every engagement and every product I build.

Deep beats broad

Specialist in one platform, not generalist across many. I know Cloudflare's edge platform at the level where I can tell you what will break before you build it.

Ship deployed code, not slide decks

Every engagement produces running software. Architecture reviews come with working prototypes. Strategy decks come with deployed proofs of concept.

TypeScript all the way down

One language, edge to database. No context-switching between Python Lambda functions and Go microservices and Terraform configs. TypeScript everywhere.

Transfer, don't hoard

Your team should own the knowledge. Every sprint includes knowledge transfer. I could write all your code, but it's better if your team can maintain and extend it.
