About Ora Creek

Ora Creek was founded by Jes Gorsuch, a data engineer and solutions architect with experience building and scaling technology programs at enterprise software companies.

Background

Before founding Ora Creek, Jes held leadership roles in cloud deployment, solution architecture, and technical program management. This included:

• Enterprise Architecture: Establishing solution architecture teams using ArchiMate and ITSM methodologies for Azure-based SaaS deployments.
• Delivery Optimization: Implementing release trains and automated delivery processes that increased release frequency by 260% and enabled same-day deployments across cloud platforms.
• Security & Compliance: Developing standardized security patch models that achieved NIST compliance for vulnerability patching across enterprise environments.
• Process Automation: Building deployment scheduling automation that reduced planning time from two days to 30 minutes—an 85% improvement in efficiency.

Approach

Ora Creek's philosophy centers on a few key principles:

• Start with the problem, not the technology. AI and automation are means to an end. We focus on understanding what you're trying to achieve before recommending solutions.
• Build for compliance from day one. In regulated industries, security and compliance can't be retrofitted. We design with audit requirements and risk management in mind from the start.
• Favor simplicity over complexity. The best solutions are often the simplest ones that meet your requirements. We avoid over-engineering and prioritize maintainability.
• Leverage existing tools where practical. We're not interested in building custom solutions when proven platforms can do the job. We build only what's truly distinctive to your needs.
