Pankaj K.

Cloud Infrastructure Architect and DevOps consultant with 17+ years of experience designing secure, scalable, and highly available systems on AWS, Azure, and GCP. Across 272 completed Upwork jobs and 31,000+ hours, I've worked with startups through enterprises on: - Cloud architecture design and review (AWS, Azure, GCP) - Kubernetes deployment and troubleshooting (EKS, AKS, GKE) - Infrastructure as Code with Terraform - CI/CD pipeline design (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps) - Cloud security hardening and compliance (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001) - Production incident response and disaster recovery - Multi-cloud cost optimization I hold the Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect and HashiCorp Terraform Associate certifications, plus AWS and Red Hat credentials. I take ownership of infrastructure end-to-end - not just implementing what's asked, but flagging risk, cost, and reliability issues before they become incidents. Long-term engagements are where I do my best work, though I'm happy to start smaller to prove fit. Let's talk about what you're building and where your infrastructure needs to go.
