I've cut AWS bills by 60%, maintained 99.9% uptime across 50-node EKS clusters, and shipped SOC2-compliant infrastructure for FinTech and SaaS companies - across 6+ years of hands-on cloud engineering. Whether you're a startup drowning in cloud costs, a SaaS company outgrowing your Kubernetes setup, or an enterprise navigating a SOC2 or GDPR audit - I've solved that exact problem, with numbers to back it. ▸ Kubernetes & EKS Architecture I design production-grade EKS clusters built to scale multi-AZ, auto-scaling with Karpenter, Spot Instance optimized, and GitOps-driven deployment pipelines. I've supported engineering teams of 10–50 engineers with infrastructure that doesn't create 2am incidents. ▸ FinOps & Cloud Cost Engineering I don't just trim costs I restructure how cloud spend works. Slashed cluster compute costs 60% via Karpenter + EC2 Spot strategy. Reduced CI/CD infrastructure costs 35% by migrating Jenkins pipelines to GitHub Actions. ▸ DevSecOps & Compliance Built GDPR and SOC2 Type II compliant infrastructure from scratch Zero-Trust IAM, AWS WAF, automated secrets rotation, CloudTrail audit logging, and compliance documentation. Experienced with HIPAA and PCI-DSS-ready architectures for FinTech clients. ▸ Observability & Reliability Full monitoring stacks with Prometheus, Thanos, Loki, and Grafana SLO dashboards, alerting runbooks, and incident response playbooks. I build for 99.9%+ uptime, not hope for it. Certified: AWS DevOps Engineer – Professional | AWS Solutions Architect – Associate | HashiCorp Terraform Associate (003) I work best with teams that want infrastructure they can trust clean IaC, documented runbooks, and systems built to last. Available for long-term platform engineering partnerships, DevOps retainers, and project-based engagements. Message me and we'll spend 15 minutes figuring out whether I'm the right fit for your infrastructure.
