I help startups and growing teams cut cloud costs and ship to production safely with AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD. Results include a 40% reduction in a client's AWS bill and up to 90% less deployment time and manual deployment errors. 🎯 THIS IS A GOOD FIT IF: - Deployments are manual, slow, or a risk to production every time you ship - Your cloud bill keeps growing faster than your traffic - Your infrastructure was set up by hand and nobody can safely change it - You're running or moving to Kubernetes and need it stable - You're unsure how secure your cloud is: broad IAM permissions, open network access, secrets in code - You find out about outages from your users instead of your alerts ✅ WHAT YOU GET: - Faster, safer releases: GitHub Actions and Jenkins pipelines with zero-downtime deployments across multiple environments - Cloud architecture that scales: designed on AWS (EC2, Lambda, ECS, EKS) and GCP, from compute-heavy workloads to microservices - Lower cloud costs: infrastructure audits and streamlined workloads - Infrastructure as Code: your whole setup in Terraform, versioned and repeatable - Production Kubernetes: Amazon EKS, GKE, or self-managed clusters with Docker - A hardened cloud: least-privilege IAM, network segmentation, and secrets management - Early warning: monitoring and alerting with CloudWatch, Prometheus, and Grafana, plus proper backups - Architecture that scales: compute-heavy workloads on GCP VMs, microservices on AWS Lambda and ECS 👋 ABOUT ME: Senior DevOps Engineer and Engineering Lead with 8+ years of experience, working with fast-growing startups and global enterprises. A background building Python and Node.js services means I can debug issues across both the application and the infrastructure. No black boxes. I document what I build, train your team to run it, and design systems that don't depend on me. 🛠️ TECHNICAL EXPERTISE: - DevOps & IaC: Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, self-managed), GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CI/CD pipelines, Deployment Automation - Cloud Platforms: AWS (EC2, ECS, EKS, Lambda, S3, CloudWatch, Kinesis, IAM), GCP (GKE, Cloud Run, VMs, Load Balancers, Cloud SQL) - Cloud Security: IAM, VPC, Security Groups, WAF, Secrets Management, Image & Dependency Scanning - Linux & Web Servers: Linux System Administration, NGINX - Scripting & Backend: Python, Node.js, Postgres, MongoDB, Microservices - AI Integration: OpenAI, Claude AI, Cursor AI, AI Agents, LLM Prototyping Need someone to create/audit AWS or GCP infrastructure, remove deployment friction, migrate existing servers, and keep your system secure and scalable? Send me your requirements. I’ll review the project and provide a clear technical approach, estimated timeline, and execution plan.
