AWS Architect | Migrations, EKS, HIPAA & PCI-DSS Compliance
🎯 AWS Solution Architect covering AI/ML infrastructure, cloud migrations, and HIPAA/PCI-DSS compliance builds. $500K+ delivered across 129 AWS engagements at 100% Job Success. Top Rated Plus on Upwork. IT-Magic is an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner. ☁️ 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤: 🔸 Production Bedrock RAG + SageMaker MLOps pipeline architected on multi-AZ AWS with GPU cluster 🔸 Ubisoft AWS Solution Architecture optimised for 50M+ daily gamers 🔸 Nova Poshta Global and Intertop, rebuilt on AWS for Black Friday-class load 🔸 PCI DSS Level 1 led end-to-end at Centrobill 🔸 HIPAA AWS configured in Drata for a US healthcare operator 🔸 QliqSOFT migrated to EKS and passed HIPAA audit, operational costs cut Most AWS work gets split across three or four freelancers who don't talk to each other - one runs infra, one writes Terraform, one handles compliance, one chases the cost. I handle the full stack directly, so the migration, the IaC, the compliance lift, and the FinOps pass land as one coordinated build instead of four disconnected handoffs. 🔧 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝: - AI/ML infrastructure on AWS — Bedrock, SageMaker, GPU inference clusters, RAG pipelines, LLMOps - Solution Architecture for AWS at scale — multi-AZ fault tolerance, auto-scaling, disaster recovery - AWS migrations from bare metal, on-premises, or older AWS architectures (also Azure builds on AKS) - EKS, ECS, and Kubernetes clusters with multi-AZ fault tolerance and auto-scaling - Terraform-managed infrastructure (IaC, no hand-clicked configs) - HIPAA and PCI DSS compliance lifts on AWS Security Hub, GuardDuty, and AWS Inspector - AWS cost optimisation - documented 42% bill cut on one engagement, ongoing 40% average on retainers - High-availability ecommerce builds for Black Friday-class traffic (Ubisoft, Invogue, intertop.ua, Yakaboo) - CI/CD pipelines on GitLab CI, Jenkins, and Docker-based deploys - Production monitoring and SRE - CloudWatch, ElastiCache, OpenSearch, system audits 📋 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬: - IT-Magic is an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner - AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional - AWS Certified DevOps Engineer Professional - AWS Certified Security Specialty - AWS Certified Advanced Networking Specialty - AWS Partner - Generative AI Essentials - Top Rated Plus on Upwork, top 3% globally - 13+ years on Linux and production cloud, based in Warsaw 🎯 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐈 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡: E-commerce, fintech, healthcare, and AI-workload companies that cannot afford a bad migration or a surprise cloud bill. Mid-stage to enterprise. Teams that already have engineering and want a senior AWS partner who can also handle the compliance and FinOps conversations - without a junior strategist in the middle. ⚙️ 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐑𝐮𝐧 𝐚𝐧 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: 1️⃣ Read - 48-hour technical audit, current setup mapped, risks flagged, written plan back to you 2️⃣ Architect - target architecture and migration order designed before any code ships 3️⃣ Build - migration, IaC, CI/CD, compliance lifts delivered as one workstream 4️⃣ Handover - architecture diagrams, Terraform repo, runbooks, observability dashboards, knowledge transfer session 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐀𝐖𝐒 𝐞𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐬: 🛠️ Migration-pending - I have done 129 of these. I will tell you what to move first, what to refactor before the move, and what to leave for later. 🛡️ Compliance-pressured - HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001 audits passed under my watch. 💰 Quietly overspending - averaging 40% bill cut on retainer accounts, with the change-log to prove it. 🤖 AI-workload-heavy - I have built GPU-cluster and Bedrock/SageMaker setups for production AI services.
