Hire the Best Cloud Engineers
in India

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. Claude Partner Badge - Claude Code Certified 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.

108 projects delivered. 100% Job Success Score. $700K+ in DevOps and cloud engineering work shipped. I'm a Senior DevOps Engineer and AWS Cloud Consultant with 5+ years building and running production infrastructure on AWS, Kubernetes, and Terraform for startups and scaling SaaS products. My focus is simple: systems that stay up, deploy fast, and don't burn money. Certified: AWS Solutions Architect Associate, HashiCorp Terraform Associate. What I deliver: • AWS Cloud Infrastructure: Secure, scalable environments across EC2, S3, VPC, and IAM, built on proven architecture patterns, not guesswork. • Kubernetes and Containers: Production-grade EKS deployments with Docker-based workflows and container orchestration. • Infrastructure as Code: Terraform and CloudFormation setups so your infrastructure is version-controlled, repeatable, and never a mystery. • CI/CD Automation: Fast, reliable pipelines on GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Jenkins for continuous integration and continuous deployment. • Cost Optimization: Reduced AWS costs by 40% for clients through rightsizing, Savings Plans, and architecture changes, with zero performance impact. • Monitoring and Reliability: Full observability and site reliability engineering with Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, and CloudWatch, so problems get caught before your users notice.

As a DevOps engineer and cloud infrastructure specialist, you get clear communication, real ownership, and automated systems that scale without constant firefighting. Because I also have a software development background, I understand what your application actually needs from its infrastructure, not just what the diagram says. If you need a DevOps engineer, AWS consultant, or Kubernetes specialist to own your cloud infrastructure, reduce risk, and scale cleanly, send me a message and tell me about your setup.

Clients typically come to me when their infrastructure starts limiting growth instead of supporting it. I approach DevOps differently focused on automation, reliability, and long-term scalability. With 5 years of experience in DevOps, cloud engineering, and system administration, I help businesses build scalable, reliable, and cost-efficient systems on AWS and Azure.

Sometimes you need a DevOps Engineer to fix pipelines. Sometimes you need someone to build your entire infrastructure from scratch. I start by understanding your system, identify gaps, and then design and implement solutions that actually work in production. From infrastructure setup CI/CD monitoring scaling security, I handle the complete DevOps lifecycle on AWS and Azure.

I’m an AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional with multiple AWS specialty certifications and hands-on experience designing scalable, secure cloud architectures. I help businesses migrate applications to AWS, improve infrastructure reliability, and implement DevOps best practices. My AWS Certifications: • AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional • AWS Certified Security – Specialty • AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty • AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate • AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner I can help with: • Cloud migration to AWS • High-availability architecture design • DevOps automation and CI/CD pipelines • Infrastructure security and networking • Application deployment and monitoring I also teach AWS concepts on my YouTube channel(Learn Tech), helping engineers understand real-world AWS architecture and best practices.
