As an AWS-certified DevOps and cloud security engineer, I help startups, fintech companies, and AI/ML platforms build secure, compliant, production-grade AWS infrastructure — including the AI infrastructure layer most DevOps engineers haven't touched yet: LLM inference endpoints, RAG pipelines, and GPU-backed compute.
With certifications in AWS DevOps Engineer – Professional, AWS Solutions Architect – Professional, AWS Security – Specialty and AWS CloudOps Engineer – Associate, your infrastructure is in capable, currently-certified hands.
WHAT I DO BEST
AI/ML Infrastructure on AWS
I deploy fine-tuned LLM inference endpoints across GPU instance families, build RAG knowledge bases using Amazon Bedrock and pgvector, and stand up Feature Stores for ML pipelines — all on Terraform, all production-grade. If your platform runs AI workloads, I build the infrastructure underneath the model.
Enterprise Cloud Foundation & Governance
I establish AWS cloud foundations using Control Tower and Landing Zone with automated multi-account environments and security guardrails — Security Hub, GuardDuty, AWS Config, CloudTrail, and SCPs. This significantly eases SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA audit preparation through automated compliance evidence.
Security-First Infrastructure
VPC isolation, least-privilege IAM, secrets management, and encryption everywhere. A recent project passed a SOC 2 audit with zero infrastructure findings, built in from day one.
Cloud Migrations & Containerization
I migrate applications from on-premises and legacy clouds (GCP, Azure) to AWS with zero downtime — deploying to ECS/Fargate, EKS, or traditional EC2, with a focus on cost efficiency and security.
Infrastructure as Code
Everything is Terraform-based, version-controlled, and reproducible — multi-account Control Tower setups, VPC architectures, IAM policies, all defined as code with peer review.
CI/CD & Production Reliability
Deployment pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, AWS CodePipeline) that cut deployment time from hours to minutes, with automated testing and rollback. Designed for 99.99% uptime through Multi-AZ deployments and auto-scaling.
RECENT RESULTS
- Architected GCP-to-AWS migration for an AI/ML fintech platform — 5 fine-tuned LLM inference endpoints across GPU instance families, RAG knowledge base on pgvector, full Terraform IaC
- Deployed a containerized Spring Boot app on ECS Fargate with Control Tower multi-account setup, Security Hub, GuardDuty, Config, and CloudTrail across dev/staging/prod
- Migrated a payment platform to AWS — 99.99% uptime, handled 10x traffic spikes, 40% cost reduction
- Delivered enterprise Landing Zone migration framework for 85 applications, 450 VMs, 55 databases
- Automated deployments from 2 hours to 15 minutes with improved security posture
TECH STACK
AWS AI/ML: Amazon Bedrock, Amazon SageMaker, RAG pipelines, pgvector, Feature Store, GPU instances
AWS Governance & Security: Control Tower, Organizations, Security Hub, GuardDuty, Config, CloudTrail, IAM, Secrets Manager, KMS, WAF
AWS Infrastructure: ECS/Fargate, EC2, Lambda, RDS, DynamoDB, S3, VPC, CloudFront, ALB/NLB, Auto Scaling
Containers & Orchestration: Docker, ECS/Fargate, Kubernetes/EKS, ECR
Infrastructure as Code: Terraform (5+ years), CloudFormation, AWS CDK
CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline/CodeBuild/CodeDeploy
Databases: RDS (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server), DynamoDB, MongoDB/DocumentDB
Monitoring: CloudWatch, CloudTrail, VPC Flow Logs, Security Hub, Config
Scripting: Python, Bash, Shell
WHO I WORK WITH
- AI/ML platforms needing production-grade inference and RAG infrastructure
- Startups preparing for SOC 2 certification
- Fintech companies needing secure infrastructure for financial data
- Healthcare/SaaS companies requiring HIPAA-ready environments
- Companies migrating from on-premises, GCP, or Azure to AWS
- Enterprises needing multi-account AWS governance
WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT
Most DevOps engineers deploy applications. I build enterprise security foundations — and the AI infrastructure layer most of them haven't touched yet.
You get:
✓ AI/ML infrastructure built by someone who understands both the model and the cloud underneath it
✓ Security and compliance built in from day one
✓ Automated audit evidence collection
✓ Multi-account governance preventing drift
✓ Clear documentation and knowledge transfer
Looking for secure, audit-ready AWS infrastructure — or AI/ML platform infrastructure that actually scales? Let's talk.

I don't just move things to the cloud.
I make sure they work better once they get there.
Most companies think buying cloud services is enough. It’s not. If your setup is wrong, it slows everything down, costs too much, and leaves security as an afterthought. If your cloud infrastructure feels like it’s held together with duct tape and hope, I am the person you call to fix it.
I am the "Fixer" who steps in when microservices start talking to each other in riddles or when infrastructure hits its absolute limit.
I have been in the trenches where it matters most:
Keeping high-traffic E-commerce platforms breathing during massive surges.
Wrangling the EdTech infrastructure that powers learning for thousands of concurrent students.
Untangling critical AWS networking bottlenecks that had entire teams stuck.
My approach is to treat infrastructure like an actual living thing. It’s not just about keeping the lights on; it’s about creating systems that evolve, adapt, and eventually make their own problems obsolete.
I have lost count of the times I have turned a "that's impossible" into a "honestly, how did we ever manage without this?"
I don't just follow DevOps "best" practices; I question them, improve them, and occasionally throw them out the window when the situation calls for a better way.
What I deliver:
✅ Faster releases through secure, automated CI/CD.
✅ Fewer surprises through deep observability and chaos testing.
✅ Peace of mind knowing nothing is going to break when you hit ‘deploy.’
Armed with a terminal, a stubborn refusal to be defeated, and a cup of coffee with way too much sugar, I am here to build, to fix, and to show you what "done right" looks like.
If you are ready to stop firefighting and start scaling, send me a message.
I’ll show you what “done right” looks like.
