Swapnil G.

I serve as a fractional CTO and technical architect for startups and scaling companies — bringing 20+ years of hands-on leadership across DevOps, DevSecOps, Cloud Architecture, and AI/ML. I don't just build infrastructure — I define technical strategy, make build-vs-buy decisions, lead engineering teams, and ensure your architecture scales with your business. My 100% Job Success score and Expert-Vetted status on Upwork reflect consistent delivery at the leadership level. Fractional CTO & Technical Leadership — I help founders and non-technical stakeholders translate business goals into engineering roadmaps. I evaluate tech stacks, establish engineering culture and processes, hire and mentor dev teams, and own the technical vision from prototype through scale. DevOps & DevSecOps Strategy — I architect secure, automated delivery pipelines and cloud infrastructure (Terraform, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, ArgoCD). I've led SOC 2 compliance initiatives, implemented policy-as-code, and built security into the SDLC — not bolted it on after. AI/ML Solutions — From RAG-based chatbots to Azure ML prediction models, I architect and oversee ML initiatives end-to-end — data pipeline design, model development (Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch), cloud deployment, and production monitoring. Cloud Architecture — Deep expertise across AWS, Azure, and GCP for migrations, cost optimization, multi-cloud strategy, and infrastructure design at scale. I communicate clearly, move fast, and take ownership. Whether you need a technical co-pilot for a few hours a week or someone to lead a full infrastructure overhaul — let's talk.
