I help startups, SaaS companies, and enterprises design, build, secure, and optimize production-ready AWS cloud infrastructure that can scale with their business. With 10+ years of DevOps and DevSecOps experience, I work across AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, cloud automation, security, observability, and AI-assisted engineering. My focus is simple: reliable infrastructure, faster deployments, stronger security, predictable costs, and systems that are built to scale. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝘂 - Production-ready AWS cloud infrastructure designed for scalability, availability, and security. - Terraform-based Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for repeatable and automated infrastructure deployment. - Kubernetes platforms using Amazon EKS, Docker, Helm, and GitOps-based deployment practices. - Automated CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and AWS DevOps services. - Secure cloud environments with IAM, VPC, WAF, security controls, secrets management, and DevSecOps practices. - Cloud migration, modernization, disaster recovery, high availability, monitoring, and performance optimization. - Reliable SRE and production operations with automation, observability, incident response, and ongoing infrastructure improvements. 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 - AWS: EC2, ECS, EKS, S3, RDS, Lambda, VPC, IAM, Route 53, CloudFront, WAF, ALB/NLB, Auto Scaling, CloudWatch - Infrastructure: Terraform, Helm, Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, Linux, Bash, Python - CI/CD & GitOps: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, ArgoCD, Git, YAML - Monitoring & Observability: CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, logging, alerting, tracing Security & DevSecOps: IAM, Secrets Manager, Vault, SAST/DAST, vulnerability scanning, security gates, least-privilege architecture - AI-Assisted Engineering: OpenAI GPT models, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Amazon Q Developer - Backend & Web Infrastructure: Python, Node.js, Nginx, REST APIs, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis - Cloud Architecture: AWS Well-Architected practices, high availability, autoscaling, disaster recovery, cloud migration, FinOps/cost optimization 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 - Built and managed secure, scalable AWS environments for production applications and SaaS platforms. - Automated infrastructure provisioning with Terraform, reducing manual configuration and improving consistency. - Implemented CI/CD pipelines that make application releases faster, repeatable, and safer. - Containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes/EKS for improved scalability and deployment flexibility. - Improved production reliability through monitoring, alerting, automation, and SRE practices. - Helped optimize cloud infrastructure for better performance, availability, and cost efficiency. - Hardened cloud environments using IAM, networking, secrets management, security controls, and DevSecOps automation. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 I first understand your existing infrastructure, application requirements, business priorities, and operational challenges before recommending changes. Then I build or improve the environment using automation, Infrastructure as Code, security best practices, testing, and clear documentation. I focus on solutions that are practical to maintain after handover—not infrastructure that only works while the engineer who built it is present.
