Your infrastructure breaks at 2 AM. Your deploys take 45 minutes. Your AWS bill climbed 40% and nobody can explain why. I fix all three - and I've done it 100+ times on this platform. Former SRE Lead at Yellow AI (100M+ users, AWS + on-prem). Now I run Skybyte, a DevOps and cloud consulting practice focused on startups and mid-market teams that need senior infrastructure work without the senior hire. What 61+ Upwork jobs and a 100% Job Success Score actually look like: Cloud cost optimization - cut AWS/Azure/GCP spend by 40-60% through right-sizing, Reserved Instances, spot fleets, and architecture cleanup. Not guesswork; I run the cost audit, build the dashboard, and hand you the savings. Kubernetes migration and management - moved production workloads to EKS, AKS, and self-managed clusters on Hetzner. Helm charts, ArgoCD GitOps, zero-downtime cutovers. I've handled clusters running 200+ pods and clusters running 6. CI/CD pipeline engineering - GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps Pipelines, Bitbucket Pipelines. Took teams from 45-minute manual deploys to sub-5-minute automated releases with rollback built in. Infrastructure as Code with Terraform - full AWS, Azure, and GCP environments defined in Terraform modules. State management, drift detection, and PR-based infrastructure reviews that your team can maintain without me. DevSecOps and compliance - SOC 2 infrastructure from scratch, cloud security audits, Cloudflare WAF and DDoS protection, network security architecture, and DPDP-aligned data handling. I've built the controls and written the documentation auditors actually accept. Monitoring, observability, and SRE - Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Datadog, PagerDuty. Full observability stacks that catch failures before your users file tickets. I set up SLOs, runbooks, and on-call workflows. Beyond core DevOps - SSO/SAML integration, n8n workflow automation, MLOps pipelines, Docker deployments on bare metal and VPS, GCP Cloud Run serverless, and technical documentation your team won't ignore. I work best with funded startups burning money on cloud, engineering teams stuck in deployment hell, and companies scaling past the point where one developer can manage the infrastructure part-time. Stack: AWS (EKS, EC2, Lambda, RDS, S3) · Azure (AKS, DevOps, AD) · GCP (GKE, Cloud Run) · Kubernetes · Helm · Terraform · Docker · GitHub Actions · GitLab CI · ArgoCD · Prometheus · Grafana · OpenTelemetry · Datadog · Cloudflare · n8n Not a "set it up and disappear" contractor. I document everything, train your team, and build systems designed to run without me and scale.
