I am a Senior Cloud Engineer specializing in AWS, Azure DevOps, Kubernetes, Terraform, automation, and scalable cloud infrastructure. I help companies design, deploy, and maintain secure, reliable, production-grade cloud systems across AWS and Microsoft Azure. My work includes building cloud infrastructure from the ground up, automating deployments, containerizing applications, managing Kubernetes environments, improving observability, and reducing operational risk through clean Infrastructure as Code. I have hands-on experience across AWS and Microsoft Azure, including EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, ECS, EKS, IAM, VPC, CloudWatch, Route 53, Azure DevOps, AKS, Azure App Service, Azure Functions, Azure VMs, Azure SQL, Storage Accounts, Key Vault, Azure Monitor, and cloud networking. What I can help with: • AWS and Azure cloud infrastructure setup • Cloud migration and modernization • DevOps pipeline design and implementation • Kubernetes cluster setup and management • Docker containerization • Terraform infrastructure as code • CI/CD with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and Azure DevOps • Linux server setup and hardening • Nginx, load balancing, SSL, and reverse proxy configuration • Cloud monitoring, logging, and alerting • Cost optimization and performance tuning • Production deployment troubleshooting • Security, IAM, access control, and cloud best practices • Scalable architecture for web apps, APIs, SaaS platforms, and backend systems I focus on practical engineering, not overcomplicated infrastructure. My goal is to give you a clean, secure, automated cloud environment that your team can understand, maintain, and scale. If your system needs to be deployed, stabilized, migrated, automated, or production-hardened, I can step in quickly and take ownership.

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.
