About Me


Your team is growing fast, but your reliability practices haven't scaled with it. Maybe you're dealing with repeated outages and firefighting. Maybe you hired SREs or DevOps engineers, but incidents still happen and delivery is still slow. Maybe you know something's broken, but can't pinpoint what.

I'm Amin Astaneh, founder of Certo Modo. After 15 years building resilient systems from rocket ship startups to Big Tech, I've learned that reliability problems are rarely technical. They're organizational. When your feedback loops are broken (unclear production visibility, slow incident response, no learning from failures), no amount of tooling or headcount fixes it.

That's why I created RAPID, a structured diagnostic that identifies exactly where your system is misaligned and which improvements create the biggest impact. Watch this video to see how it works:

RAPID Assessment

Get your roadmap to operational maturity- FAST.



RAPID (Rapid Assessment of Production In-Depth) gives you a clear, evidence-based roadmap showing which reliability improvements will deliver the fastest ROI for your organization.

Through targeted interviews and questionnaires with engineering leaders and stakeholders, you receive a comprehensive, prioritized roadmap in one week, showing what's broken, why it matters, and what it takes to fix it.

Perfect for product/engineering leaders who need clarity before committing to large-scale changes.
