Hire the Best Certified AWS Cloud Practitioners

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.

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.

Updated on 3rd june 2026 I build AI systems that act as a "force multiplier" for executives and their teams. Case Study: Built an enterprise AI analytics and reporting platform for a multi-company organization with 1,000+ users, integrating Salesforce, Slack, Asana, Google Drive, and Google Sheets into a unified AI ecosystem. Leveraged MCP, RAG, Qwen, LangChain, Pinecone, and Python-based knowledge ingestion pipelines to enable enterprise search, automated reporting, cross-platform data retrieval, and AI-driven decision support, significantly improving operational efficiency and reducing manual workflows. Most AI implementations fail because they are disconnected from the actual data employees use every day. I specialize in building Agentic Workflows on Azure that bridge the gap between your raw data (Slack, Email, Meetings) and actionable business intelligence. My Signature Achievement: 1. The Virtual COO (Executive Intelligence): Developed an AI "Chief of Staff" that consolidates Slack, Gmail, and meeting transcripts into a single decision-engine. Built with Azure OpenAI and n8n, it identifies bottlenecks and prioritizes tasks so nothing drops through the cracks. 2. AI Clinical Assistant (Scaled Healthcare): Built a RAG-based diagnostic support tool currently used by 300,000+ practitioners in Europe. It leverages LangChain and Pinecone to analyze patient patterns in real-time, surfacing evidence-based treatment suggestions in Portuguese while staying strictly compliant with local privacy laws. 3. Private Vision Pipeline (Secure Taxation): A client needed to extract data from handwritten tax documents but couldn't use OpenAI/Claude due to privacy. I deployed a 2B parameter Vision Language Model on private servers. The Result: 98% accuracy on handwritten text and a 14,000% increase in processing speed (from 480 docs/day manually to processing a doc every 5 seconds). What I can do for you: Azure & Private AI: Whether you need Azure AI Foundry or a fully private, locally-hosted LLM to keep your data secure, I’ve built both. Agentic Automation: I don't just "connect APIs." I build agents that think, categorize, and act—using n8n, Python, and custom hooks. Production-First Data: As a Microsoft Certified Data Engineer, I ensure your data is clean before the AI touches it. No "garbage in, garbage out." The Tech Stack: Azure (OpenAI/Fabric) • LangChain • n8n • Python • Pinecone • SQL • dbt • Vision-Language Models (VLM) Why $30/hr? I am a veteran engineer, but I am new to the Upwork ecosystem. My current rate reflects my goal to build a 5-star reputation on this platform quickly. You are getting enterprise-grade architecture at a "reputation-building" price. Let’s hop on a call to talk about your workflow. I’ll tell you exactly what’s possible, and more importantly, what’s a waste of your money. Uwais
