DevOps Engineer | AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD | VPS, Cloudflare & AI Deploy

Top Rated DevOps Engineer | 100% Job Success | 101 jobs | 12+ years. I automate, secure, and scale your infrastructure so your team ships faster, deployments stop breaking, and your cloud bill goes down. Slow or manual deployments? Servers going down at night? Slow or hacked WordPress site? Cloud costs growing every month? These are the problems I fix every day. WHAT I DO ✅ CI/CD Pipelines: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, ArgoCD. Every push is tested, built, and deployed automatically, with zero-downtime releases and one-click rollbacks. ✅ Kubernetes & Docker: containerize your apps, build and manage EKS or self-hosted clusters, Helm charts, autoscaling, and GitOps workflows. ✅ Infrastructure as Code: Terraform and Ansible. Your entire environment is version-controlled, reproducible, and easy to change. ✅ AWS Cloud Architecture: VPC, EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, RDS, S3, CloudFront, IAM. Secure, highly available, and well-architected. ✅ Servers & Hosting: VPS and dedicated server setup and management (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS/AlmaLinux), Nginx, Apache, LAMP/LEMP, cPanel, Plesk, email servers, and high-performance hosting for websites and apps. ✅ Cloudflare, Domains & DNS: domain setup and transfers, DNS records (A, CNAME, MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC), Cloudflare CDN, WAF, DDoS protection, SSL, caching, and page speed optimization. ✅ WordPress & Elementor: fast, secure WordPress hosting, Elementor site building and fixes, speed optimization (Core Web Vitals, caching, Redis, CDN), malware removal and hardening, WooCommerce setup, staging environments, automated backups, and migrations with zero downtime. ✅ Monitoring & Alerting: Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, CloudWatch. Find issues before your users do. ✅ Security & Reliability: server hardening, firewalls, least-privilege IAM, secrets management, automated backups, and disaster recovery. ✅ Cost Optimization: rightsizing, Spot, Savings Plans, and cleanup. I regularly cut cloud bills by 30–50%. ✅ Migrations: move websites, apps, and databases between shared hosting, VPS, dedicated servers, on-prem, and AWS with minimal downtime. ✅ AI/LLM Deployment: take RAG apps, AI agents, and self-hosted LLMs (Llama, Mistral) from notebook to production, with GPUs, autoscaling, monitoring, and secure APIs.
