Nicolas J.

✅ Top Rated Plus — DevOps and Cloud Architect specializing in Kubernetes, OpenStack, Ceph, and any cloud substrate. 100% Job Success. I build and operate production infrastructure from bare metal to the application layer. Most engineers hand off when things get complicated. I don't. ⭐ What I deliver ⭐ ✅ Kubernetes on anything: bare metal, OpenStack, VMware, or any cloud. Full lifecycle. ✅ OpenStack private cloud: real cloud capabilities on your own hardware, without the hyperscaler bill. ✅ Ceph distributed storage: block, file, and S3-compatible. Integrated with Kubernetes via Rook-Ceph or standalone. ✅ Cloud-agnostic IaC: Terraform and Ansible that work the same on AWS, GCP, OpenStack, or your own hardware. ✅ Performance tuning: I find bottlenecks from storage I/O to app latency and fix them at the right layer. ✅ Cost optimization: right-sizing compute and cutting cloud waste before it becomes a boardroom problem. ✅ Security: Vault, RBAC, network hardening. Actual threat reduction, not checkbox compliance. ⭐ Why clients keep working with me ⭐ ✅ I own the full stack. No finger pointing between teams, no gaps between layers. ✅ I document everything. You always know what was built, why, and how to operate it after I'm done. ✅ Any substrate. AWS, GCP, bare metal, or a private data center. If it runs Linux, I can build on it. 🏆 Bug Hunter #1 at a major Indonesian e-commerce platform, 2020 🏆 Speaker Community Conferences: Vault and ArgoCD secrets management (2023) and IaC with GitLab and Ansible (2021) Stack: Proxmox, ZFS, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Vault, ArgoCD, GitLab CI/CD, Docker, Helm, Terraform, Ansible, Bash, Golang Most clients come to me with one layer broken. They stay because I can see and fix all of them. 📌 nicolas.my.id
