I help companies design, fix, secure, and scale cloud infrastructure that actually works in production — not just on paper. My background includes OTT platforms, high-traffic live events, and enterprise systems where uptime, security, and cost control really matter. I focus on clean architecture, strong security practices, and practical cost optimization, and I take full ownership from design through deployment and post-production support. ------ Why Clients Hire Me (Instead of Trial-and-Error Engineers) * I’ve run production during live events (cricket, tennis, OTT launches) * I’ve re-architected broken cloud platforms into scalable, secure systems * I’ve handled multi-account AWS orgs (16+ accounts) and AKS at enterprise scale** * I speak business + architecture + security, not just commands * I deliver*end-to-end ownership — design → deploy → optimize → document ------- ☁️ AWS EXPERTISE (Production, Not Just Theory) Compute & Containers * EC2, Auto Scaling, ALB/NLB * ECS, EKS, ECR * Lambda (event-driven architectures) Networking (My Strongest Zone) * VPC (multi-AZ, multi-account) * VPN, routing, security groups, NACLs, Transit Gateway * Private networking & hybrid setups Storage & Databases * S3, RDS, ElastiCache * Athena, data access optimization Security & Governance * IAM, SSO, Organizations, Control Tower * WAF * Security Hub, GuardDuty, CloudTrail, Config * Well-Architected Framework Reviews * Compliance & least-privilege designs CI/CD & Automation * CodePipeline, CodeDeploy * Jenkins * Terraform (foundational to intermediate) Monitoring & Reliability * CloudWatch * ELK * New Relic * Incident handling during high-traffic events ------ ☁️ AZURE EXPERTISE (Enterprise & Product Platforms) Core Infrastructure * Virtual Machines * VNets (full networking design) * Load Balancer * Azure Firewall Application & Edge * App Service * Application Gateway + WAF * Azure CDN * Front Door Containers * AKS (production-grade clusters) * Secure, scalable AKS architecture for **1M+ concurrency** Security & Governance * Microsoft Defender for Cloud * Azure security compliance * Azure Well-Architected Framework reviews DevOps * Azure DevOps (repos, pipelines, releases) ----- 🧱 SERVER & OS EXPERTISE (Old-School + Cloud) Windows * IIS hosting * Application configuration Linux * Ubuntu, Amazon Linux, CentOS * Nginx & Apache configuration * Production troubleshooting & performance tuning ----- 🧩 REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE (Not Lab Projects) * **Sony Pictures (OTT & Mobile Apps)** Managed AWS infra across 16 accounts Scaled infra during live events with millions of users Cost optimization + security hardening * **Tata Elxsi – TEPlay (OTT Platform)** Re-architected poorly designed Azure infra Built AKS-based scalable architecture Supported Dubai broadcaster (MBC) Resolved infra + app-level security vulnerabilities * **Current Role – Cloud Consultant (AWS & Azure) Presales + solution design Customer onboarding & migrations Well-Architected Reviews Cost optimization & security posture improvement ----- 🛠️ What I Can Do for You Cloud Architecture (2-tier / 3-tier / Microservices) AWS & Azure Infrastructure Design & Deployment AKS / EKS Setup & Optimization Cloud Security Hardening & Compliance Reviews Cost Optimization (Real savings, not guesses) Well-Architected Framework Reports Migration (On-prem → Cloud / Cloud → Cloud) Production Troubleshooting & Scaling DevOps CI/CD Pipelines ----- My Working Style * Clear communication (no jargon dumping) * Architecture diagrams + documentation * Security-first mindset * Built for scale, cost, and reliability * I treat your infra like production from Day 1 ----- 🎯 Ideal Clients * Startups preparing to scale * OTT / media platforms, Ecommerce, Health Sectors etc, * Enterprises needing **cleanup, security, or optimization** * Teams tired of “it works for now” setups ----- 📩 Let’s Talk If your cloud feels: * Over-engineered * Under-secured * Over-priced * Or just not ready for scale

Is your AWS bill going up faster than your business? Is your infrastructure not secure, scalable, or resilient enough to support your growth? Is a HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or SOC 2 audit coming up, and you are not sure your AWS account is compliant enough? Unsure about taking the first step into the cloud? If yes, you are at the right place. WHO I AM I am Vikas. I have 8 years on AWS and 26 years in IT. AWS Solutions Architect Professional and Terraform Associate certified. I work with SaaS companies in healthcare, fintech, and general B2B. I design, build and manage their AWS infrastructure. AWS architecture and DevOps are my core skills and I specialize in HIPAA, SOC2 and PCI-DSS work for the clients. I work AI-augmented — using modern tools (Claude, Kiro) to move faster on implementation while keeping every architectural decision under my own judgment. WHAT I HAVE BUILT AND RUN ★ Full AWS setup for an Australian IT services company — 5-year retained client. Built on Terraform. EC2, RDS, SQS, SNS, Lambda, API Gateway, WAF. Now extending into Amazon Connect. ★ Another continuing 1.5-year engagement with a Singapore client — built an active-active 3-tier SaaS on AWS. Multi-region setup with cost-aware design. Currently in retainership. ★ HIPAA discovery audit and remediation (technical) of an AWS account for a US based IT consulting and services firm specializing in healthcare. ★ HIPAA-compliant AWS for a Canadian healthcare SaaS — built end-to-end on Terraform. Networking, IAM, KMS encryption, Multi-AZ Aurora, VPC endpoints, encrypted S3, CloudTrail with KMS. Also guided them through the AWS Business Associate Addendum (BAA). The client wrote: "Valuable recommendations regarding HIPAA compliance and system security. We are already planning to work with him on the next stage of our project." ★ PCI-DSS AWS remediation for a financial services AWS Organization — fixed infrastructure gaps across multiple accounts. Scrut compliance score for AWS moved from 42% to 81% in three weeks. Provided necessary evidences for compliance. ★ Java application containerization for an enterprise client — moved their applications to ECS. Architecture design plus Terraform deployment. WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU → Build new AWS environments from scratch (VPC, ECS, EC2, RDS, S3, IAM, monitoring) → DevOps and CI/CD (GitHub Actions, CodePipeline, Docker, Terraform, CloudFormation) → HIPAA, SOC2 and PCI-DSS infrastructure work — I build the AWS side. I am not a QSA and I do not write policies. That is a separate job → Compliance remediation using Scrut, Vanta, or Drata → Cost reduction (right-sizing, savings plans, storage tiers, better architecture decisions) → Long-term retained work — I can be your senior architect for months and years, not just one project HOW I WORK → Clear communication from day one. Written scope. Weekly updates. Quick replies. → Clean handover documentation at the end of every project. → I take only a few projects at a time. You work with me directly, not with juniors. → I tell you what is risky before we start, not after. WHEN I AM A GOOD FIT ✓ Startups or growing SaaS that need a senior AWS architect or DevOps engineer ✓ Teams that want a long-term architect, not a one-time contractor ✓ Healthcare, fintech, or payment SaaS with HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or SOC 2 needs ✓ Teams fixing an AWS setup that has to pass an audit ✓ Founders who want an honest opinion, not a sales pitch WHEN I AM NOT A GOOD FIT ✗ Full PCI-DSS audit work — that is a QSA's job ✗ HIPAA policy writing or compliance officer work ✗ Lowest-price hourly work CREDENTIALS → AWS Solutions Architect — Professional → HashiCorp Terraform Associate → Top Rated on Upwork, 100% Job Success Score → Published author on AWS in Plain English and AWS Tip TECH STACK AWS (EC2, ECS, Fargate, Lambda, RDS, Aurora, S3, VPC, IAM, KMS, CloudTrail, CloudFormation, Organizations, SSM, Secrets Manager, API Gateway, WAF, CloudFront, Amazon Connect, SQS, SNS), Terraform, CloudFormation, Docker, GitHub Actions, CodePipeline, Linux, Python, Bash, Scrut, Vanta, Drata. LET'S TALK If you need a senior AWS architect for design, build, day-to-day operation, or compliance work — send me a short message. Tell me where you are, what your stack looks like, and what is the main problem. I will reply within 24 hours with an honest answer on whether I am the right person for the work.

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.
