You need your AWS environment to be reliable, secure, cost-efficient, and easy to operate not a source of stress every time you deploy, scale, migrate, or troubleshoot. That is where I can help. I work with startups, SaaS companies, and small businesses that need to build, migrate, secure, automate, or optimize AWS environments using services such as EC2, ECS, Fargate, RDS, CloudFront, WAF, Route 53, Terraform, CI/CD, Docker, CloudWatch, and Secrets Manager. If your application is still running on a VPS, manual server, unstable deployment process, exposed infrastructure, or an AWS setup that became expensive and hard to maintain, I can help you turn it into a cleaner, safer, and more production-ready cloud environment. You can work with me when you need to: ✅ Deploy your application on AWS I can help you deploy Docker, backend, frontend, API, or SaaS workloads using EC2, ECS Fargate, ECR, ALB, Route 53, ACM, CloudFront, RDS, and CloudWatch. ✅ Migrate your infrastructure to AWS If you are moving from DigitalOcean, Hetzner, VPS, Coolify, cPanel, another AWS region, or a manual server setup, I can help you plan and execute the migration while reducing downtime and protecting your data. ✅ Automate your deployments I can help you replace manual deployments with CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, Docker, ECR, ECS, rollback strategies, and secure IAM access. ✅ Build infrastructure with Terraform You get repeatable, documented, and scalable infrastructure using Terraform or CloudFormation, instead of manual AWS console changes that are hard to track and maintain. ✅ Secure your AWS account and application I can review and improve IAM, security groups, WAF, KMS, Secrets Manager, GuardDuty, Inspector, Security Hub, TLS, CloudTrail, and general AWS security practices. ✅ Reduce your AWS costs If your AWS bill is growing and you are not sure why, I can analyze your environment using Cost Explorer, Trusted Advisor, Compute Optimizer, rightsizing, unused resource cleanup, and practical FinOps recommendations. ✅ Improve monitoring and reliability I can set up CloudWatch logs, alarms, dashboards, metrics, SNS/Lambda alerts, Slack notifications, and operational visibility so you know what is happening before your users complain. Why clients work with me: • 5x AWS Certified, including AWS Solutions Architect Professional • Hands-on experience with production systems in the financial sector • Strong background in AWS architecture, DevOps, security, automation, and observability • Clear communication, organized documentation, and practical execution • Focus on secure, reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient cloud environments • 5-star Upwork feedback for AWS delivery and communication Recent work includes building an AWS-based prerendering solution using Node.js and Puppeteer to improve crawler visibility and SEO for a JavaScript SPA. If you want your AWS environment to be cleaner, safer, easier to deploy, easier to monitor, and better prepared for growth, send me a message and I will help you define the best path forward.

I take slow, expensive, breaking AWS setups and turn them into fast, secure, cost-optimized infrastructure that just runs. So your team ships features instead of fighting fires at 2 AM. Expert-Vetted (Top 1% on Upwork) | Top Rated Plus | 100% Job Success | 5x AWS Certified | 16+ years in Cloud and DevOps If your cloud costs too much, breaks too often, or slows your releases down, that is exactly what I fix. WHAT I DO ☁️ Cloud Migrations. Heroku, DigitalOcean, on-prem, or legacy servers moved to AWS (ECS, EKS, Fargate, RDS). Clean cutovers, no surprise downtime. 💰 AWS Cost Optimization and FinOps. I find the waste in your bill and kill it. One recent client went from $400 a month to $50. 🚀 CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code. Automated, repeatable deployments with Terraform, Ansible, Docker, and Kubernetes. No more manual, fingers crossed releases. 🛡️ Reliability and Security. High availability architecture, monitoring, backups, and DR, built security first and SOC 2 / ISO 27001 aligned. You sleep at night and you pass your audits. 🔧 Ongoing CloudOps (Managed Retainer). I do not hand off and disappear. I keep your environment monitored, optimized, and secure every month, so problems get caught before they cost you. WHY CLIENTS KEEP ME AROUND - Most of my best relationships started as one project and turned into long-term partnerships. I treat your infrastructure like it is mission-critical, because it is. One client put it simply: "Jobin is my DevOps guy from now on." - I have led cloud and DevOps teams for 16+ years across the US, Europe, and the GCC, and picked up recognition like Cloudflare's Partner Systems Engineer of the Year along the way. I am not a generalist who also touches AWS. AWS DevOps is what I do, all day. WHO I WORK BEST WITH Startups and SaaS teams who need a senior cloud engineer but are not ready for a full time hire. And established businesses that want their AWS done right, secure, lean, and reliable, without the enterprise consulting price tag. LET'S TALK Tell me what is going on with your AWS. The costs, the outages, the migration you keep putting off. I will tell you exactly how I would fix it. Message me or book a consultation and let's get started.
