As a Cloud & DevOps Engineer, I help companies build reliable cloud infrastructure, DevOps platforms, infrastructure automation, and highly available systems using AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, and modern security and monitoring practices. Today, I also help teams adopt AI-assisted development tools, including Claude Code and automation agents, in a practical, secure, and production-ready way.
Modern DevOps is no longer only about infrastructure, pipelines, and servers. Teams are now building faster than ever with AI coding assistants, autonomous workflows, and vibe-coding tools. But fast AI-generated prototypes often need expert cloud, DevOps, security, and architecture work before they can become stable production systems.
This is where my 20 years of hands-on IT experience, recognition by Upwork as an Expert-Vetted professional, and being featured in Upwork's Success Stories become real advantages.
I am also the author of The Cloud DevOps Engineer's Guide, where I showcase the proven methodologies I apply to help organizations design, automate, secure, and scale resilient, cloud-native infrastructures.
My core expertise includes:
✔️ Cloud infrastructure on AWS, Azure, GCP, and DigitalOcean.
✔️ Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, and production container deployments.
✔️ Terraform, Ansible, Infrastructure as Code, and environment automation.
✔️ CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and other tools.
✔️ Claude Code, OpenClaw, and AI-assisted development workflow adoption.
✔️ AI-generated and vibe-coded application review, stabilization, deployment, and scaling.
✔️ Large codebase navigation, refactoring support, and development automation.
✔️ AI-assisted test generation, documentation workflows, and code review support.
✔️ Security reviews for code, cloud infrastructure, secrets, permissions, and deployments.
✔️ Custom AI agents for engineering, DevOps, monitoring, and code review workflows.
✔️ 24/7 monitoring, observability, alerting, logging, and incident-response automation.
✔️ DevSecOps, secure pipelines, automated checks, and production hardening.
✔️ Cost optimization, scalability, reliability, and high availability.
✔️ Linux, Bash, Python, networking, databases, distributed systems, and cloud-native architecture.
My experience across AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker, CI/CD, monitoring, and security allows me to work not only as a DevOps Engineer but also as an AI-Augmented Platform Engineer, helping teams modernize how they build, deploy, review, secure, and operate software.
Whether you need to modernize your infrastructure, adopt Claude Code, explore OpenClaw-based automation, build custom agents, review an AI-generated codebase, stabilize a vibe-coded application, or deploy, secure, and scale your prototype in the cloud, I can help you move from idea to production with a secure, stable, and scalable setup.

Are your deployments slow, breaking at the worst moments, or costing more than they should? Is your team spending hours on manual releases instead of shipping features? If your CI/CD pipelines are fragile, your Azure infrastructure is growing out of control, or your DevOps processes exist only on paper, you are dealing with a problem that will not fix itself.
I am a DevOps Engineer and Azure Architect with 10+ years of experience helping product teams and growing companies build cloud infrastructure that actually works. Whether it is a startup scaling fast or an enterprise team drowning in legacy pipelines, I come in, assess the real state of things, and build systems that are stable, automated, and cost-efficient.
My primary expertise is Microsoft Azure and Azure DevOps, end to end. That means everything from designing multi-stage Azure DevOps pipelines and managing releases without downtime, to setting up Azure DevOps RBAC, securing environments, and integrating Azure DevOps with Kubernetes clusters running on AKS. I have built Azure DevOps workflows for teams of 5 and teams of 150, and the approach scales both ways. Every Azure DevOps implementation I deliver is built around real business goals, not just tooling checkboxes.
Beyond Azure DevOps, I work across the full infrastructure stack. I design Cloud Architecture using Terraform for Infrastructure as Code, manage containerized workloads with Kubernetes and Docker, and implement Deployment Automation that removes human error from the release process. For data-heavy projects, I build pipelines with Azure Data Factory to handle ETL, orchestration, and integration between services.
For teams building decentralized or blockchain-integrated solutions, I have worked with Azure Blockchain Service as part of broader Microsoft Azure infrastructure setups, combining it with the same security and governance standards applied across all environments.
As an Azure Architect, I cover Cloud Computing governance, cost optimization, and FinOps practices, so your Azure bill reflects actual usage, not waste. I apply the same structured thinking to Network Security, Linux and Windows Server environments, and multi-cloud setups when needed.
When projects require Amazon Web Services, I bring the same DevOps standards to AWS, including AWS DevOps pipelines, CI/CD automation, and infrastructure managed through Terraform. I also work with Google Cloud Platform for teams running workloads across multiple providers.
AI Automation is a growing part of what I do. As more teams start integrating AI into their products and workflows, I help them connect those AI components to production infrastructure properly, with reliable pipelines, automated testing, and deployment flows that treat AI workloads the same way as any other service.
I also collaborate closely with full stack developer teams to improve release processes, deployment reliability, and infrastructure scalability, making sure the gap between development and operations is as small as possible.
What clients usually need help with:
✔ Stabilizing Azure DevOps pipelines and deployment workflows
✔ Building scalable Kubernetes infrastructure
✔ Migrating legacy infrastructure to Microsoft Azure
✔ Reducing cloud costs and improving DevOps efficiency
✔ Designing secure Cloud Architecture for growing products
✔ Automating deployments with Terraform and CI/CD
✔ Improving monitoring, security, and infrastructure reliability
✔ Implementing AI Automation into existing delivery workflows
The full technology range I work with includes: Azure DevOps, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD, Git, SQL, Python, Linux, Windows Server, Azure Data Factory, Azure Blockchain Service, Cloud Architecture, Deployment Automation, Network Security, and more.
Certifications:
✅ 8x Microsoft Azure Certified
✅ Kubernetes Certified
✅ Terraform Certified
If your infrastructure needs structure, your pipelines need reliability, or your cloud costs are climbing without clear control, send me a message here on Upwork. Describe the situation and I will come back with a clear breakdown and concrete next steps.
