AWS Kubernetes DevOps Architect | Cut Cloud Costs, Harden Security
I cut AWS bills and stabilize Kubernetes infrastructure for teams whose deployments are fragile, unmonitored, or quietly bleeding cloud spend. On my last infrastructure-modernization engagement, I reduced hosting costs by 85.7% while moving the client onto a highly-available, auto-scaling architecture. I'm a Senior DevOps & DevSecOps Engineer with 9+ years of experience, including a senior DevSecOps role at Deloitte and my current role architecting infrastructure at Nano Aspect AI. I design zero-trust, production-grade cloud systems built for real traffic, audits, and scale, not weekend side-projects. What I've delivered for clients: - Cut AWS infrastructure costs by up to 85.7% on a single migration while maintaining SLAs. - Reduced deployment duration by 40% by rebuilding CI/CD pipelines end to end. - Hit 95% vulnerability-detection coverage by integrating SAST/DAST/SCA/SBOM tooling directly into the pipeline. - Cut CI/CD-related security vulnerabilities by 30% across two separate engagements. Where I fix things: - Broken or slow CI/CD: GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, ArgoCD. - Production Kubernetes: EKS, AKS, GKE - design, migration, and live debugging. - Infrastructure as Code: clean, DRY Terraform and Terragrunt, no manual click-ops. - Security and compliance hardening: zero-trust access, HashiCorp Vault secrets management, and readiness work for ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA. Toolbox: AWS (primary), Azure, GCP, OCI. Kubernetes, Docker, Helm. Terraform, Terragrunt, Ansible. GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, ArgoCD. SonarQube, Snyk, PrismaCloud, HashiCorp Vault. Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog. Who I'm for: teams with a live, revenue-generating system where downtime, security gaps, or AWS spend are the actual bottleneck, and a technical decision-maker who can scope a real engagement. Who I'm not for: brand-new prototypes with no traffic yet, or a full-time headcount replacement - I work best as a scoped specialist, not embedded staff. How I work: daily async updates, a written runbook at handoff, and clear scope before any code changes. Based in Dubai (UAE), flexible hours to cover US/EU/APAC overlap. Message me with your current setup and the specific pain point, cost, downtime, or a security gap, and I'll reply with a scoped approach, not a generic pitch.
