About Sync Your Cloud

Who We Are

Sync Your Cloud is a solutions architecture practice focused on payments companies building on AWS. We work with fintech and payments teams that need clear, documented architecture decisions — not generic cloud advice.

Our Background

Our practice is founded by an AWS Certified Solutions Architect with 6 years of experience at NatWest across banking, retail, and technology operations. That experience gave us a close understanding of how financial services infrastructure is built, scrutinised, and audited at scale — and what engineering and compliance teams in regulated industries actually need from an architecture engagement.

What We Deliver

Architecture Decision Records (ADRs):

Every significant decision documented with context, options considered, and rationale. Ready for engineering review, acquirer due diligence, or audit scrutiny.

Cardholder Data Flow Diagrams:

C4 and Mermaid diagrams that map trust boundaries, encryption points, and PCI scope. Structured for QSA review from day one.

Payment Pattern Matching:

Validated AWS architecture patterns for payment workloads, matched to your non-functional requirements and compliance constraints.

Risk and Trade-off Documentation:

Every recommendation includes known failure modes, risks, and mitigation options. No hidden assumptions.

Why Work With Us

Financial Services Background:

6 years at NatWest means we understand the regulatory environment, audit expectations, and operational realities of financial services — not just the technology.

20+ Years in Client Delivery:

Alongside our architecture practice, we bring over 20 years of experience in web design and client management as a freelance consultancy. We know how to run engagements that deliver, not just advise.

Payments Focus:

We work specifically with payments and fintech teams. PCI-DSS, cardholder data flows, acquirer documentation, and transaction scaling are our core focus areas.

Documentation-First Delivery:

Every engagement produces tangible, reviewable artefacts. Not verbal recommendations that get forgotten after the call.

Transparent Trade-offs:

We document what we recommend, why we recommend it, and what the risks of each choice are. You make informed decisions, not blind ones.
