If your infrastructure is holding your team back — slow deployments, security gaps, compliance pressure, or runaway costs — I fix it end to end. I'm a Senior DevOps & SRE Engineer with 7+ years of hands-on experience building and operating production cloud infrastructure for SaaS, fintech, and healthtech companies. I don't just advise. I implement — Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, security hardening, cost optimization — and I own the outcome. ───────────────────────────────────── 🏆 WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE ME ───────────────────────────────────── - Top Rated Plus — Top 1% on Upwork - 100% Job Success Score | $100K+ earned - 45+ completed contracts across SaaS, fintech, healthtech - Led SOC 2 compliance programmes end-to-end at two Toronto companies - Trusted by founders, CTOs, and engineering teams across North America ───────────────────────────────────── 🚀 WHAT I DO ───────────────────────────────────── Cloud Infrastructure & AWS Architecture Production-grade AWS environments built right the first time — VPCs, EKS, ECS, RDS, Lambda, API Gateway, CloudFront. High availability, fault tolerance, and security baked in from day one. I've designed and operated systems handling millions of requests for funded startups and scale-ups. Kubernetes & Container Platforms EKS cluster design, Helm, ArgoCD, GitOps workflows, RBAC, network policies, pod security, Falco for runtime security, and full observability. Real production Kubernetes — not tutorial-level work. CI/CD & DevOps Automation GitHub Actions, Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline — automated build, test, and deploy pipelines that reduce deployment risk and free your team to ship faster. Zero-downtime blue/green and canary deployments included. Infrastructure as Code Modular, reusable Terraform across multi-account AWS environments. CloudFormation, Pulumi, Ansible. Fully reproducible, auditable infrastructure that your team can actually maintain. Security & Compliance (SOC 2 / HIPAA) I've led SOC 2 Type 1 and HIPAA technical implementation at regulated companies — not just as a GRC consultant writing policies, but as the engineer who implemented the controls: IAM hardening, GuardDuty, Security Hub, CloudTrail, KMS encryption, Vanta/Drata setup, and evidence pipelines. If compliance is blocking your next enterprise deal, I've done this before. Cost Optimization Reduced AWS spend by 30–60% across multiple client environments through Reserved Instance strategy, right-sizing, Savings Plans, and architectural improvements. I find the waste and fix it — with proof. SRE & Production Reliability Monitoring, alerting, incident response, SLOs, and error budgets. Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, ELK. I've worked in production SRE roles and know what "on-call ready" infrastructure actually looks like. ───────────────────────────────────── 📊 RESULTS THAT MATTER ───────────────────────────────────── - Reduced cloud costs 30–60% across multiple AWS environments - Led end-to-end SOC 2 compliance at two separate companies from gap assessment through audit - Built HIPAA-compliant AWS infrastructure for a US healthtech startup - Designed and operated EKS platforms supporting production SaaS workloads - Migrated legacy infrastructure to fully automated, IaC-managed environments - Built CI/CD pipelines that cut deployment time and eliminated manual steps ───────────────────────────────────── 🧰 CORE STACK ───────────────────────────────────── Cloud: AWS (primary) · GCP Containers: Kubernetes (EKS/GKE) · Docker · Helm · ArgoCD IaC: Terraform · CloudFormation · Pulumi · Ansible CI/CD: GitHub Actions · Jenkins · AWS CodePipeline Security: GuardDuty · Security Hub · CloudTrail · KMS · IAM · WAF Compliance: Vanta · Drata · SOC 2 · HIPAA Observability: Prometheus · Grafana · CloudWatch · ELK · Datadog Languages: Python · Bash · Boto3 ───────────────────────────────────── ✅ YOU'RE THE RIGHT FIT IF YOU... ───────────────────────────────────── - Are a startup or scale-up on Cloud that needs infrastructure built properly, not just quickly - Have a compliance deadline (SOC 2, HIPAA) and need someone who can Implement the technical controls, not just write policies - Are spending too much on AWS and need someone to find and fix the waste - Need a production Kubernetes environment set up, secured, and monitored - Want an experienced engineer who takes ownership and communicates clearly I'm available for both fixed-scope projects and ongoing hourly engagements.
