AI Kubernetes DevOps Engineer: AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Claude
In the AI era, almost anyone can build software now. People who never wrote code are shipping products on Product Hunt. They hope it sells. Some actually do. But without an engineering background, most of them hit a wall. As the product grows, it must stay online, handle many users, and keep data safe. That wall has a name: DevOps and Security. It dictates if a growing product survives or breaks. And none of AI can do it for you. That wall is where I've spent my career. For five years I ran the systems of a top Vietnamese insurance company. There, "the system is down" is never allowed. Every change is monitored. Every risk is written down. Security is the whole job, not an afterthought. For over ten years, I've kept important systems reliable everywhere. On your own servers, using Kubernetes and OpenStack. And on all three major clouds: AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. I'm certified in every of them, plus the Golden Kubestronaut. That means every Kubernetes certification that exists. With the teams I help, the results are clear. Updates go out 75% faster. 70% fewer of them fail. New features launch 80% more often. Problems get fixed 70% faster. Recently, I added something new to the belt. I earned all four of Anthropic's Claude certifications, every program they offer. Now I bring the same discipline to AI. For you, that is two strengths in one person. I understand AI, and I know how to run it safely for real customers. Most people have only one of those. You get both. So here are three ways I can help you: 1. You vibe-coded an app, and now it hits the DevOps and security wall. I get you past it. 2. You have a cloud or DevOps project that needs a proven expert. That is my daily work. 3. You want a Claude-powered AI agent system, built safe and reliable by a DevOps pro. Few people can do that. One client said it better than I can: 🗣️ "Thao has been wonderful to work with. Fast, accurate, extremely knowledgable. I asked for design choices and he gave me many options to choose from with trade-offs." Need your systems made rock-solid? Or a Claude AI agent you can trust?
