⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Juan Pablo is one of the best freelancers I've ever worked with. I've recruited nearly 80 people on Upwork and, clearly, he's in the top 3 of experts I'd highly recommend." — Sep 2024 🏆 100% Job Success · 🥇 Expert-Vetted · 📈 $900K+ delivered · 20+ years in Cloud & AI I'm the founder of Cloudacio — an AWS Select Partner agency with Top Rated Plus status and 6 consecutive years of 5-star delivery on Upwork. I work directly with CTOs and founders at Series A–C SaaS companies who need cloud expertise without hiring a full in-house platform team. What I help with: 📊 FinOps & Cloud Cost Optimization — Pay-as-you-save model. I've helped clients cut AWS spend by up to 73%. You only pay for results. 🛡️ SOC 2 & Cloud Compliance — From gap assessment to audit-ready using compliant-by-design infrastructure blueprints on AWS, GCP, and Azure. 🚀 SaaS Scaling & Well-Architected Reviews — Multi-region architecture, Kubernetes, Terraform IaC, and 24×7 AI-native cloud ops. 🤖 AI & Data Engineering — RAG pipelines, LLM integrations, MLOps on AWS SageMaker, and data platforms using Spark, dbt, and Redshift. How I work: I bring both strategic and hands-on depth — I architect solutions and I know exactly how they're built. When a project needs a team, I bring in Cloudacio. When it needs a trusted advisor, I show up. 📬 Send me a message. I respond within 4 hours during business hours.
