If your Cloud bill keeps climbing and your release velocity doesn't, that's usually an infrastructure problem, not a team problem. I’m a Senior Cloud Platform Architect and DevOps Engineer with 10+ years building and running production infrastructure across AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle Cloud, and OpenStack, including Huawei Cloud, T Cloud Public and Red Hat OpenStack/OpenShift. A few concrete examples from my work: • Led core platform operations for T Cloud Public (formerly OTC) across multiple EU regions, improving availability, elasticity, and automation for large multi‑tenant environments • Built and operated DevOps and SRE platforms for AI products on AWS and Azure (EKS, ECS, ECR, RDS, S3, DynamoDB), including CI/CD, observability, and incident response • Delivered carrier-grade telco/NFV‑oriented Cloud solutions on OpenStack and OpenShift under strict reliability and performance requirements • Cut cross-cloud infrastructure costs by 35%, reduced deployment times from weeks to hours through end-to-end automation, and lowered production incident recovery (MTTR) by 60% With Top Rated Plus status and a 100% Job Success score, I've completed numerous projects, including Cloud Migrations, AI deployments, Integrated systems, Automation strategies, and Infrastructure optimization initiatives for enterprise clients. For Data-heavy projects, I build pipelines with Databricks and Azure Data Factory to handle ETL, orchestration, and service integration. AI and automation are becoming an increasingly important part of the work I do with clients. I help teams move beyond “AI in a notebook” by wiring the AI models and agents into real, production-grade infrastructure with proper CI/CD, testing, monitoring, and deployment flows, so AI workloads are treated like first-class production services, not just prototypes or POCs experiments. What I actually do for clients: • Design and migrate multi-cloud or hybrid infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, OpenStack) • Build CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code with Terraform, Ansible, GitHub Actions, GitLab, and Jenkins • Stand up and run production Kubernetes, i.e. Helm, ArgoCD, and Istio, on cloud or bare metal • Build data pipelines with Databricks, Azure Data Factory, and Kafka for ETL and service integration • Move AI/ML workloads out of notebooks and into real production systems, with proper CI/CD, monitoring, and deployment, not a script everyone's afraid to touch I'm AWS, Azure, and Oracle Cloud certified, and I'm just as comfortable lower in the stack, KVM, QEMU, Ceph, SR-IOV, NFV, Proxmox, VMware, which matters if your setup includes private cloud or anything telco-adjacent. I work directly with founders and engineering leads. I'll tell you straight if something's a quick fix or a real project before I quote it, and I document what I build so your team isn't stuck depending on me to keep the lights on. If your infrastructure's a mess, your pipelines keep breaking, or your cloud spend doesn't make sense anymore, message me with what you're working with. I'll give you a real read on what's wrong and what it'd take to fix it.
