DevOps & Cloud | AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, Oracle | SOC 2 | AI | DBA
With over multiple years of experience I help businesses build secure, compliant and reliable cloud/on-prem infrastructure, automate deployments, solve complex issues, handle databases and replace manual work with practical AI automation. If your team is dealing with unstable deployments, disconnected systems, repetitive processes, cloud complexity, or database issues, I can help turn them into secure, automated, production-ready systems that are easier to manage and scale or if you're going for SOC 2 or ISO27001 or HIPAA compliance I can help you get there. I’m a DevOps Engineer working across all cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, GCP, and Oracle Cloud, with expertise in Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, Linux, databases, n8n, and AI automation, email setup ( DKIM, DMARC, SPF ) and compliance frameworks including SOC 2 and ISO 27001. My strength is being able to work across the full environment — infrastructure, networking, deployments, databases, APIs, automation, and production troubleshooting — rather than focusing on only one layer. I’m Kubernetes CKA certified and 6x Cloud certified. ### DevOps & Cloud • Design and manage infrastructure on AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI • Build Kubernetes and Docker environments • Create CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and Azure DevOps • Automate infrastructure using Terraform and Ansible • Deploy applications with Kubernetes, Helm, Docker, serverless, and cloud-native services • Implement GitOps workflows using ArgoCD • Configure networking, IAM, storage, load balancers, DNS, and cloud security • Set up monitoring, logging, alerts, and production support • Troubleshoot Linux, Kubernetes, Docker, networking, CI/CD, and cloud environments ### AI & Automation • Build custom n8n workflows for business process automation • Create AI agents for support, sales, reporting, lead qualification, and internal operations • Integrate OpenAI, ChatGPT, Claude, APIs, CRMs, databases, email, Slack, and business tools • Deploy self-hosted n8n on Docker, Kubernetes, VPS, AWS, Azure, GCP, or OCI • Build webhook-based and event-driven integrations • Create Zapier and Make automations • Connect AI workflows with production APIs, databases, and cloud infrastructure ### Databases & Oracle • Oracle Database installation, administration, troubleshooting, and migration • Oracle RAC, Data Guard, ASM, Grid Infrastructure, and RMAN • Database upgrades, patching, cloning, backup, and recovery • PostgreSQL and MySQL administration • Database connectivity, performance, storage, users, schemas, and migration support ### Technologies **Cloud:** AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, DigitalOcean, Cloudflare **DevOps:** Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Ansible, Helm, ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, Linux, CI/CD, GitOps **AI & Automation:** n8n, OpenAI API, ChatGPT, AI Agents, Claude, Anthropic API, LangChain, Zapier, Make **Databases:** Oracle Database, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Supabase, Firebase **APIs & Integrations:** REST APIs, GraphQL, OAuth 2.0, webhooks, JSON, XML, SaaS integrations, custom APIs **Business Tools:** HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel, Pipedrive, Zoho, Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Slack, Gmail, Mailchimp, SendGrid ### Why clients work with me • I work across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI rather than being tied to one cloud • I can handle both infrastructure and database-level problems • I can build automation workflows and deploy them reliably in production • I’m comfortable troubleshooting complex Linux, Kubernetes, cloud, and Oracle environments • I focus on practical, maintainable solutions instead of unnecessary complexity • I document my work clearly and communicate technical issues in simple terms If you need help with cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, CI/CD, Terraform, Oracle, n8n, AI agents, API integrations, or production troubleshooting, I can help you build a reliable solution and get it running properly.
