Most cloud environments don't fail because of bad intentions they fail because reliability, security, and delivery were never engineered together from the start. Over 13 years I have designed and operated cloud platforms for organizations where downtime, misconfigurations, and compliance gaps carry real consequences Bank of America, Fiserv, and the Federal Reserve Board. That experience shaped how I think about every engagement: architecture first, automation always, reliability non-negotiable. Here is where I add measurable value: Cloud Migration & Architecture: Designing resilient, cost-optimized multi-cloud environments across AWS and Azure, built for scale and aligned with business objectives from day one. CI/CD & DevOps Automation: Implementing Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes, and pipeline automation that standardizes delivery, eliminates manual bottlenecks, and reduces deployment risk significantly. SRE & Observability: Building monitoring, alerting, and incident response frameworks using Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, and ELK that give engineering teams real visibility, not just dashboards. Security & Compliance: Hardening infrastructure against real threats while maintaining PCI-DSS, SOX, and ISO 27001 alignment across regulated and high-growth environments. Whether you are a scaling startup needing a solid foundation or an enterprise team modernizing legacy infrastructure, I bring senior architecture thinking with hands-on execution no handoffs, no gaps. Certifications: AWS Solutions Architect | RHCE | CCNA | CompTIA A+, N+, S+ Open to a quick call to review your current setup and identify exactly where I can add value.

I troubleshoot, stabilize, and fix systems when they break in production. Over the past 11 years, I’ve worked across frontend, backend, cloud infrastructure, and deployment systems. I’m usually brought in when something isn’t working the way it should: deployments failing, infrastructure becoming hard to maintain, cloud costs increasing, or systems struggling under real production traffic. Recently, I’ve also helped teams improve the stability of AI/LLM workflows using tools like Claude, OpenAI Codex, and related APIs with a focus on making these systems reliable in production, not just demos. I typically help with: * AWS / GCP / Azure issues: EC2, ECS, EKS, GKE, networking, IAM * CI/CD pipeline problems: GitHub Actions, Flux, Argo * Kubernetes clusters that are unstable, overcomplicated, or expensive * Production troubleshooting: APIs, deployments, infrastructure, performance * AI/LLM integrations that need to work reliably in real environments Recent work includes: * Configuring and stabilizing Kubernetes clusters across EKS, GKE, and AKS with Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki * Setting up cloud infrastructure with Terraform and Pulumi * Fixing broken CI/CD pipelines and improving release reliability * Created Claude skills that integrated with Linkedin to fetch jobs My approach is simple: understand the system, find the real root cause, and fix the problem without making things more complicated than they need to be. If you need someone who can step in, troubleshoot quickly, and get things working reliably, feel free to reach out.
