Rishab A.
Senior DevOps & Cloud Architect | AWS, Kubernetes & Terraform
I make cloud infrastructure work in production, not just on architecture diagrams. If your deployments are fragile, your AWS bill keeps rising, or you're planning a migration that can't afford avoidable downtime, I can take direct ownership of the infrastructure problem from diagnosis and architecture to implementation, verification, and handover. 5+ Years DevOps & Cloud | 10,000+ Domains Supported | 10+ Legacy Servers | 10+ Production Applications | 18 Upwork Contracts [ RESULTS FROM PRODUCTION WORK ] • Supported AWS migration and modernization work involving 10+ legacy servers and 10+ production applications inside an infrastructure estate serving 10,000+ domains. • Identified and obtained approval for infrastructure changes projected to save $2,000+ per month through workload analysis, right-sizing, and backup/storage optimization. • Planned migration steps, backups, DNS cutovers, and validation checks to reduce operational risk. • Diagnosed a recurring MySQL performance incident involving costly unindexed queries on a table with roughly 73,000 rows and implemented targeted indexing. [ WHY CLIENTS HIRE ME ] • One accountable engineer: I handle discovery, architecture decisions, implementation, production checks, and clear technical handover. • Production-first decisions: I think about downtime, rollback, data integrity, monitoring, and what happens after launch. • Business-focused solutions: I explain infrastructure trade-offs in terms of cost, risk, and reliability, not just tools. • Practical troubleshooting: I use logs, usage metrics, and root-cause analysis rather than endlessly restarting broken services. [ SELECTED WORK ] • WPGateway / product infrastructure: AWS modernization, legacy-server migrations, Linux and WHM/cPanel operations, DNS, SSL, backups, incident response and infrastructure cost reviews. • RapifyCloudHost: Terraform- and Jenkins-based AWS hosting automation, infrastructure provisioning, and CI/CD workflows. • AWS EKS + S3 application deployment: Worked on a shared cloud deployment with frontend assets on Amazon S3 and containerized backend services on EKS. Contributed to Docker/Kubernetes deployment workflows, Terraform automation, CI/CD coordination, production checks, and handover. • Terraform AWS VPC & microservices: Worked on a Terraform-managed AWS architecture separating the public-facing frontend from private customer and transaction services. Contributed to VPC subnet design, internet-facing and internal load balancing, and repeatable infrastructure provisioning. • SaaS and application infrastructure: cloud deployments, Docker/container environments, release workflows and backend operations. • Production incident investigation: Linux, MySQL, Redis, application connectivity and performance diagnostics. [ WHO I WORK BEST WITH ] Founders, CTOs, engineering leads, and hosting providers who are saying: "Our releases break too often." "We need to migrate without disrupting customers." "Our cloud costs are getting out of control." "The production issue keeps returning and nobody has found the root cause." [ CLOUD & DEVOPS EXPERTISE ] AWS (EC2, S3, VPC, IAM, Route 53, CloudWatch, EFS) | Azure | GCP | Linux | Kubernetes | Docker | Terraform | Ansible | Jenkins | GitHub Actions | CI/CD | Bash | cPanel/WHM | NGINX | Apache | MySQL | Redis | Monitoring | Backups | Cloud Cost Optimization | Security Hardening [ CLIENT FEEDBACK ] "Proactive and knowledgeable. I will definitely hire him again." — Feedback from a previous Upwork web-platform project [ HOW I WORK ] First I review your actual setup and understand the business impact. Then I provide a practical plan with risks and dependencies, execute controlled changes, validate the result and document what your team needs to know. Send me your infrastructure challenge and desired outcome. I'll help you find a durable solution, not another temporary patch.
