If your AWS bill keeps climbing, production breaks under load, or a compliance deadline is getting close - the problem is rarely just AWS. It’s the architecture.
I step into fragile systems and fix both: cloud infrastructure, and the application design running on it.
Because even perfect AWS setup cannot save software that wasn’t designed to scale, isolate failures, or handle real production traffic.
Most teams I work with are stuck in one of these situations:
- AWS costs rising every month with no clear reason
- Systems that pass tests but fail under real traffic
- Compliance pressure from regulators or auditors
- Constant firefighting instead of controlled releases
Hiring more engineers or adding more monitoring increases complexity. I simplify the architecture - both infrastructure and code-level design - so the problems stop repeating.
Recent outcomes:
- Avoided a $5M federal penalty by delivering a critical federal platform before deadline, focusing only on what was required for compliant launch
- Cut hosting costs from $96K to $14K per year by eliminating architectural waste across infrastructure and services
- Designed and delivered a FedNow-ready, Federal Reserve-compliant real-time payments system scaling to 60,000 transactions per second using horizontally scaled services built specifically for cloud behavior
What changes after I’m done:
- Infrastructure and software designed to scale together
- Predictable AWS costs
- Systems that stay stable under load
- Clear documentation and runbooks
- A team that can operate it independently
I build boring, predictable systems on purpose. Boring systems survive audits, scale events, and 3am incidents.
If you’re dealing with cost pressure, reliability issues, or compliance risk, send me your biggest concern. I’ll tell you exactly what I would fix first and whether it’s worth doing.
If it’s not a fit, I’ll say so.

I build and run Production Infrastructure on AWS, GCP, Azure and on-prem. Most of my work the last few years has been Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, AKS, and bare metal RKE2 with Rancher) and getting that infrastructure through compliance audits: HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI DSS, NIST 800-53.
10+ years in DevOps. Top Rated Plus, 100% Job Success.

Built an on-prem RKE2 cluster from scratch for a company preparing for SOC 2 and HIPAA. Rancher for management, Cilium with WireGuard for encrypted pod traffic, GPU nodes for their ML workloads, Longhorn for storage, Velero for backups, ArgoCD for deployments. Also enforced SSO through Entra ID on every cluster and SSH access point because their auditors required it.
Took a healthcare data platform through HIPAA hardening on AWS. ECS Fargate, Aurora PostgreSQL, private subnets, TLS everywhere, proper secrets handling. Phase one was making it work, phase two was making it pass an audit. Different skill sets, I do both.
Modernized AWS infrastructure for a holding group running four brands. Moved everything to ECS Fargate and Aurora Multi-AZ, set up blue-green deployments, CloudFront in front. Midway through we found a security breach in their GitHub org and I handled the full remediation across every repo.
Fixed a production Aurora MySQL performance problem that had their app timing out during peak hours. Root cause was tmp table spill to disk. Tuned it, added a reader, no downtime.
I also do a lot of unglamorous work that keeps things running: CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD), Terraform for everything, monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana, cost cleanup, VPN and networking issues, database migrations.
Industries I know well: Healthcare (HIPAA is second nature at this point), Fintech and Payments (PCI DSS), and B2B SaaS.

I am a Senior DevOps / Cloud Infrastructure Engineer specializing in AWS architecture, production reliability, compliance readiness (SOC 2 / ISO 27001), and scalable multi-environment infrastructure.
I help startups and growing SaaS companies stabilize, secure, and scale their AWS environments — often stepping in to audit, fix, and modernize existing infrastructure.
To date, I have:
• Designed and restructured multi-account AWS environments (dev/staging/prod isolation)
• Built and maintained ECS Fargate production clusters
• Migrated legacy servers to containerized workloads
• Implemented Terraform-based Infrastructure as Code across multiple organizations
• Led SOC 2 readiness initiatives including security hardening and risk remediation
• Recovered unstable production systems under live traffic
AWS Architecture (Advanced)
• Multi-account architecture (Organizations, SCPs, IAM boundaries)
• ECS Fargate, EC2, ALB/NLB, Auto Scaling
• RDS (Aurora Serverless v2), MySQL/Postgres optimization
• S3, CloudFront, WAF, Route53
• VPC design, subnet isolation, NACL hardening
• Secure parameter management (SSM, Secrets Manager, KMS)
• CloudWatch monitoring, alerting, log aggregation
DevOps & Automation
• Terraform (modular, environment-aware design)
• GitHub Actions & CI/CD architecture
• OIDC-based GitHub → AWS authentication
• Ephemeral preview environments per PR
• Blue/Green & zero-downtime deployments
• Docker production optimization
• Cost optimization & AWS spend audits
Security & Compliance
• SOC 2 Type I / II preparation
• IAM least-privilege design & MFA enforcement
• Encryption at rest & in transit (KMS, TLS policies)
• Secrets rotation & audit logging
• Risk assessments & remediation roadmaps
• Security architecture documentation
Databases & Data Operations
• Production MySQL / Postgres migrations
• CouchDB clustered deployments (n=3, q=8)
• Shard recovery & disaster recovery planning
• Backup validation & restore testing
• Schema migrations (Alembic, Laravel, etc.)
I do not apply superficial fixes.
I audit environments thoroughly, document risk exposure, and implement long-term infrastructure improvements designed for scalability, security, and operational clarity.
If you need a senior-level DevOps engineer who understands production systems, compliance pressure, and business continuity, I would be glad to assist.
