Over 13 years of experience building, scaling, and optimising cloud platforms, applications, and DevOps systems for startups, mid-size companies, and enterprise environments.
I specialise in AWS architecture, Kubernetes/EKS/ECS, CI/CD automation, full-stack engineering, and mobile app development, enabling clients to work with a single senior engineer rather than hiring multiple freelancers.
Most clients work with me long-term because I am fast, reliable, and very strong in communication, and I’m known for taking ownership until the problem is fully solved.
What I Do Best
• Cloud Architecture (AWS/Azure) – secure, scalable, multi-account & multi-region setups
• DevOps & Automation – Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, Terraform, CDK
• Backend Engineering – Node.js, TypeScript, Python, PHP, REST, GraphQL
• Frontend Development – React, Next.js, HTML/CSS/JS
• Mobile Apps – React Native (production-ready apps)
• Troubleshooting & Production Fixes – outages, cost spikes, scaling issues
• Security & Compliance – IAM, WAF, SSO, VPN, SOC2-ready setups
• Cost Optimisation – reduced cloud costs by up to 40% for past clients
• Migration & Modernization – monolith → microservices, legacy → cloud
Upwork Clients Say
• “Great communicator and really good at what he does.”
• “Helped explain the Kubernetes world while solving the issues.”
• “Completed my server setup quickly and flawlessly.”
• “Solved our AWS failure when business was halted.”
• “Always proactive, reliable, and goes beyond expectations.”
Why Clients Hire Me
• I solve problems fast, including urgent production issues
• I explain things clearly (non-technical founders love this)
• I work independently with minimal hand-holding
• I’m comfortable with both short tasks and long-term projects
• I can manage the entire stack (Cloud → Backend → Frontend → Mobile)
If you need a senior engineer who delivers high-quality results without complexity, I’m ready to help.
