Hey, I'm Serge — a DevOps engineer and Linux sysadmin with 16 years of hands-on experience. Top Rated Plus on Upwork, $70K+ earned, 100% Job Success Score across 24 contracts. My day-to-day involves leading DevOps work for US and Israeli companies — finance, government, tech. Through my employer, the rate is around $100–120/hr — that includes company overhead, account managers, and the usual agency markup. Here on Upwork you hire me directly. No middlemen, no account managers. That's why the rate is lower — not because the work is different. What I focus on most: **Kubernetes and container infrastructure** I've set up and migrated dozens of projects to Kubernetes — EKS, GKE, AKS, and on-prem. I handle the full stack: Helm-based deployments, Grafana + Loki for monitoring and logging, Terraform for infra as code. If your app is still running on Docker Compose and you're hitting limits, this is exactly what I do. **CI/CD pipelines** Setting up proper pipelines from scratch — GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Helm. Dev/stage/prod environments with proper Git flow so your developers aren't blocking each other. **Cloud infrastructure — AWS, GCP, Azure** Terraform for everything that can be described as code. Multi-environment setups, VPC, networking, RDS, S3, load balancers, security groups. Migrations between accounts, between clouds, and from on-prem to cloud. **AI infrastructure** More recently I've been setting up GPU-based AI infrastructure — Ollama, vLLM, LiteLLM proxy. If you're deploying local LLMs or building AI-powered apps and need the infra side sorted, that's something I can help with too. **A few practical things:** - Up to 8 hours/day — I work focused, not just "clocked in" - You work directly with me throughout the project - I write documentation so your team can actually use what I build If you have a project in mind and want to talk through the scope first, I'm happy to do a short call. Just send a message. Serge ---

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.

Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-305) and DevOps Engineer Expert (AZ-400). Top Rated Plus, 100% Job Success, 423 hours delivered, 5.0 on every rated contract. I architect the platform and I build it — same person, start to finish. Twelve years in regulated environments — financial services, healthcare and technology — where an outage or a failed audit costs more than the project that prevents it. ——————————————— WHY CLIENTS TRUST ME WITH PRODUCTION ▪ 287 hours on a single engagement, embedded in the client's team as their Azure DevOps and networking engineer. Nobody keeps a contractor that long unless the work holds up. ▪ Every rated contract on this profile closed at 5.0. One client: "extremely knowledgeable, efficient and professional". ▪ Two Microsoft Expert-level certifications, verifiable online, plus HashiCorp Terraform Associate and Red Hat Linux. ▪ ISO 27001, SOC 2 and GDPR programmes led to certification with zero non-conformities. ——————————————— WHAT I ARCHITECT AND BUILD ▪ Release pipelines teams ship through daily I architect the release path so shipping stops being an event, then build it. Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins or Harness — whichever you already run — with Argo CD for GitOps where Kubernetes is the target. Environments in Terraform, secrets pulled from Key Vault or HashiCorp Vault at run time, scanning gated before merge. Typically 80% fewer release errors, 45% faster delivery. ▪ FinOps: a cost model the business can explain I design the governance layer that makes spend visible and owned: rightsizing, tagging that survives contact with reality, reserved capacity and committed use analysis, automated policy that keeps the savings after handover. Typically 25-35% off spend, no performance trade-off. ▪ Production Kubernetes that holds under load AKS or GKE designed and built with autoscaling, network policy and sane resource limits, behind observability that means something. Prometheus, Grafana, Azure Monitor, real SLOs, alerts engineered to be signal not noise, and runbooks a junior engineer can follow. ▪ An identity and compliance layer that passes audit Identity and access architected from the ground up: Entra ID, Conditional Access, Zero Trust, MFA, privileged access, CIS-hardened baselines, and documentation built to withstand scrutiny. ▪ Migrations that do not cost you a weekend AWS to Azure, on-premises to cloud, and Microsoft Azure tenant-to-tenant. Dependency mapping first, wave plan second, rehearsed cutover third, rollback written before anyone touches production. ▪ Multi-cloud from hands-on experience, not theory I have designed and run production workloads on Azure, AWS and Google Cloud myself. So placement gets argued on cost and capability instead of preference, identity is federated across Entra ID, AWS IAM and Cloud IAM, Terraform modules target more than one provider, and multi-region failover is designed rather than hoped for. I will also tell you when one cloud is the right answer. ——————————————— THE PLATFORM UNDER ALL OF IT Azure and Google Cloud landing zones, hub-and-spoke networking, Shared VPC and Cloud IAM, hybrid and multi-tenant design, governance built in from day one. 30+ reusable Terraform modules in production across client environments, cutting provisioning 60%. Also Azure OpenAI workloads with private networking and cost controls, and Microsoft 365 and Intune estates. ——————————————— HOW ENGAGEMENTS RUN 1. A 30-minute call where I ask the questions and you do most of the talking. 2. A written plan: what changes, in what order, what it costs, what could go wrong. 3. Delivery in reviewable increments, with updates you can read in thirty seconds. 4. Diagrams, documentation, runbooks and a proper handover session. You keep everything. Terraform in your repository, runbooks in your wiki, no proprietary glue and no dependency on me afterwards. If your team can't run it without me, I haven't finished. ——————————————— GOOD FIT IF you run production on Azure, AWS or Google Cloud, you have a compliance or audit deadline coming, you are migrating between clouds, or your cloud spend has outgrown your control. PROBABLY NOT IF you need a quick script, a one-off fix with no context, or the cheapest hourly rate on the platform. STACK Azure · AWS · Google Cloud · Terraform · Bicep · Kubernetes (AKS, GKE, OpenShift) · Docker · Helm · Argo CD · Azure DevOps · GitHub Actions · GitLab CI · Jenkins · Harness · Prometheus · Grafana · Loki · Entra ID · Key Vault · HashiCorp Vault · Linux ——————————————— 📩 Tell me what's slow, fragile, expensive or unmonitored in your stack. I'll reply with how I'd approach it, what it would take, and what I'd do first.

Your AWS bill is climbing, deploys are unpredictable, and your EKS cluster is one bad night from an outage. I've spent 3,000+ hours fixing exactly that — 100% Job Success, Top Rated Plus, $100K+ earned, all in AWS and Kubernetes infrastructure. RECENT RESULTS — Cut a SaaS client's AWS spend from $70,000/mo to $45,000/mo (35.71%) in 3 months — Rebuilt a failing EKS cluster: 9 months since at 99.9%+, zero paging incidents — Replaced 18 manual deploy steps with a 8-minute automated pipeline — Delivered a HIPAA-ready AWS environment for a healthcare SaaS in [N] weeks — Built multi-account AWS infrastructure for a FinTech payment platform That last line is the one I'd judge me on. Nobody retains an infrastructure engineer for 1,800+ hours unless the infrastructure works. YOU PROBABLY NEED ME IF — Your AWS was built fast and now has to be production-grade — Your EKS or GKE cluster is unstable, expensive, or nobody wants to touch it — Terraform exists, but environments still drift and every change feels risky — Deploys need a human babysitter — Your cloud bill is growing faster than your revenue — You have no real alerting, dashboards, or incident visibility — IAM, secrets, and network access need a cleanup before an audit — You're moving off VMs or manual servers and can't afford downtime — You need someone who will own infrastructure end to end, not just advise WHAT I DO AWS Infrastructure EC2, VPC, IAM, RDS, EKS, ECS, ECR, Lambda, S3, CloudFront, Route53, WAF, CloudWatch, SQS, SNS, API Gateway, Auto Scaling, load balancers, and cost controls. AWS is my primary platform. I also work in GCP (GKE, Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub, Cloud Build) and Azure (AKS, Azure DevOps). Kubernetes Production EKS and GKE: Helm, ArgoCD, ingress controllers, autoscaling, network policies, pod disruption budgets, resource right-sizing, and cluster troubleshooting at 2am. Terraform and Infrastructure as Code Reusable, documented modules. Remote state, multi-environment layouts, drift reduction, and refactoring inherited Terraform that nobody on the team understands anymore. Also CloudFormation and AWS CDK. CI/CD and Deployment Automation GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, AWS CodePipeline. GitOps workflows, blue-green and staged rollouts, and rollbacks that actually work when you need them. Observability and SRE Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, OpenTelemetry, Datadog, ELK, CloudWatch, PagerDuty. I build alerts your team will act on, not alerts your team will mute. Cloud Cost Optimization and FinOps Right-sizing, orphaned resource cleanup, RDS and S3 lifecycle tuning, NAT gateway and data transfer review, Savings Plans and Reserved Instance analysis, Kubernetes resource efficiency, and a monthly cost report you can actually read. Security and Production Readiness IAM least-privilege, Vault and External Secrets, security groups, WAF, backup and DR planning, public exposure review, and SOC 2-ready cloud baselines. Migration and Modernization VMs and manual servers to AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD — without taking your product down while we do it. HOW I WORK I don't build demo infrastructure that only works during handoff. I build systems your team can read, operate, and change after I'm gone: clean documentation, real automation, least-privilege access, monitoring that means something, and infrastructure that stays boring. I work in your timezone overlap, respond within 4 hours, and tell you when something is a bad idea before you pay me to build it. CREDENTIALS AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals BS Engineering, Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute (GIKI) TELL ME WHAT'S BROKEN Send me a message describing what's failing right now — the bill, the cluster, the pipeline, the 3am page, whatever it is. I'll tell you honestly what I'd check first and whether I'm the right person for it (I wil be). If I'm not, I'll say so.
