I take over Cloud (AWS, GCP) infrastructure that's scaling faster than your team can manage - and make it stable, observable, and cost-efficient. Recent work: Navya Network (Healthcare AI) - 4 months ongoing. Zero-downtime ECS Fargate migration, Databricks cost optimization, multi-region architecture. 99.9% availability with sub-second agent orchestration. Ockam (AI startup) - Led SOC2 compliance from scratch while rebuilding their platform architecture. Invesco (Fortune 500) - Migrated 500+ applications to AWS. Genentech - Built enterprise container platform that cut developer onboarding from weeks to days. What I deliver: Production Kubernetes and ECS at scale. Terraform infrastructure you can actually maintain. CI/CD pipelines that don't break. Observability that tells you what's wrong before customers do. How I work: Async-first, timezone-flexible. I document everything and build for handoff - you get infrastructure your team can run without me. Available for 2-4 week projects or longer engagements. Previously scaled a platform engineering practice from 12 to 150 engineers at Slalom Build. Now running Accelra Technologies and taking select consulting work.

🚀 Potential FREE AWS Credits (based on eligibility) on every Engagements + AWS Account Audit. I take slow, expensive, breaking AWS setups and turn them into fast, secure, cost-optimized infrastructure that just runs. So your team ships features instead of fighting fires at 2 AM. Expert-Vetted (Top 1% on Upwork) | Top Rated Plus | 100% Job Success | 5x AWS Certified | 16+ years in Cloud and DevOps If your cloud costs too much, breaks too often, or slows your releases down, that is exactly what I fix. WHAT I DO ☁️ Cloud Migrations. Heroku, DigitalOcean, on-prem, or legacy servers moved to AWS (ECS, EKS, Fargate, RDS). Clean cutovers, no surprise downtime. 💰 AWS Cost Optimization and FinOps. I find the waste in your bill and kill it. One recent client went from $400 a month to $50. 🚀 CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code. Automated, repeatable deployments with Terraform, Ansible, Docker, and Kubernetes. No more manual, fingers crossed releases. 🛡️ Reliability and Security. High availability architecture, monitoring, backups, and DR, built security first and SOC 2 / ISO 27001 aligned. You sleep at night and you pass your audits. 🔧 Ongoing CloudOps (Managed Retainer). I do not hand off and disappear. I keep your environment monitored, optimized, and secure every month, so problems get caught before they cost you. WHY CLIENTS KEEP ME AROUND - Most of my best relationships started as one project and turned into long-term partnerships. I treat your infrastructure like it is mission-critical, because it is. One client put it simply: "Jobin is my DevOps guy from now on." - I have led cloud and DevOps teams for 16+ years across the US, Europe, and the GCC, and picked up recognition like Cloudflare's Partner Systems Engineer of the Year along the way. I am not a generalist who also touches AWS. AWS DevOps is what I do, all day. WHO I WORK BEST WITH Startups and SaaS teams who need a senior cloud engineer but are not ready for a full time hire. And established businesses that want their AWS done right, secure, lean, and reliable, without the enterprise consulting price tag. LET'S TALK Tell me what is going on with your AWS. The costs, the outages, the migration you keep putting off. I will tell you exactly how I would fix it. Message me or book a consultation and let's get started.

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.
