⭐ 100% Job Success | 🌟 Rising Talent | 🚀 DevOps Engineer — AWS · GCP · Azure · Kubernetes · Docker · Terraform · CI/CD I deploy, fix, and automate infrastructure — fast, clean, and documented. If your app is stuck in deployment hell, your server keeps crashing, or your team is deploying manually at midnight, I can fix that. I work with startups and small teams who need production infrastructure that just works — without hiring a full-time DevOps engineer. Problems I solve: • Your app runs locally but breaks in production → I containerize it with Docker and deploy it properly • Deployments are manual and scary → I build CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) with rollback • Your AWS bill keeps growing → I right-size, autoscale, and cut waste • You need Kubernetes but nobody on the team knows it → I set up EKS/GKE with Helm and hand over clear docs • Server down, SSL expired, Nginx misconfigured → I troubleshoot and get you back online My stack: AWS · Docker · Kubernetes (EKS) · Terraform · GitHub Actions · Nginx · Linux/Ubuntu · Prometheus & Grafana · PostgreSQL How I work: Clear scope before I start. Updates as I go. Documentation when I finish, so your team isn't dependent on me forever. Send me a message describing what's broken or what you need deployed — I'll reply with a concrete plan.

Strong CI/CD DevOps engineering using GitHub/BitBucket Pipelines, CircleCI, ARGOCD. Industries: - FinTech - Media - Ecomm - and more! Here are some of the case studies of the clients I have helped with: 1. MONETRACK - Deploying a client stack in minutes on AWS instead of weeks Industry: Finance Problem: An unreliable process that caused constant frustration and delays. Process: Each deployment would take days to weeks to be set up, requiring between 5-6 people. Results: They now deploy a client stack in minutes instead of weeks using AWS EKS and a customised CI/CD process. In addition, I have: · Improved deployment time from weeks to minutes. · 80% reduction in costs per deployment. · Secure alignment with their client's compliance requirements. 2. Tourism Media - Great flexibility, deploying applications faster and secure on AWS Industry: Media Problem: With no CI/CD integration across all deploys, the job to integrate each stack was inconsistent and pruned to errors. Process: Deployment was not consistent across the board; they were also not resource-friendly Result: They can now push out a consistent deployment process across the company while being quickly adopted by their teams. In addition, I also have: · Improved deployment time by 60% · 70% costs reduction in EC2 instances · Greater scalability and reliability than their Legacy infrastructure. 3. Value-Ad - Scale 10X more on AWS with great stability and without the extra cost. Industry: Finance Problem: An infrastructure that could not scale securely and effectively was harming their client base. Solution: Deploy a new AWS EKS (Kubernetes) environment that is scalable, highly available, secure (PCI-DSS compliant) and cost optimised using AWS Well Architect Framework best practices. Result: They can now handle 10X more requests with excellent stability and without extra cost than their legacy infrastructure. In addition, I have added: · Greater scalability and reliability · Deployments are simplified and done in minutes instead of hours · 32% cheaper than its previous infrastructure Now a bit of myself: I'm a passionate professional with 25 years of experience in enabling business strategies through the practical application of technology architecture principles, practices, and tools.

I build production AI systems and keep them running. Not demos - live systems that real users and real businesses depend on, built to a reliability standard that comes from 12+ years in platform and site-reliability engineering, including regulated fintech at 4M+ transactions a day, 99.95%+ uptime, and PCI DSS with zero audit findings. What I do: - RAG systems, customer-facing and internal. I have shipped RAG both ways: managed (Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases, grounded answers with citations) and fully self-hosted (pgvector on Postgres with HNSW indexing, local embeddings), and I know when each is the right call. - LLM agents and multi-agent systems with LangChain, LangGraph and Dify, plus the governance that makes them safe to deploy: human-in-the-loop approval gates, writer/critic/approver separation, least-privilege blast radius, auditable decisions. - Voice and conversational AI: a 24/7 production voice agent handling live quoting and end-to-end booking, built on LiveKit then migrated to managed Retell AI on a documented cost-and-risk business case. - Self-hosted LLM infrastructure: Ollama, LiteLLM and Open WebUI serving local models on GPUs, with a multi-tenant gateway, virtual-key access control, semantic caching and per-tenant cost tracking (AI FinOps). For clients who cannot send data to a third-party API, I build the whole stack on hardware they control. - The reliability underneath: AWS (EKS, ECS, Lambda, Bedrock), Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, and observability with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus and Grafana. The through-line: I do not just wire up an API and hand you a prototype. I build the AI, then make it observable, secure, cost-controlled and safe to run, so it survives contact with production. If you want something that works in a demo and again at 3am, that is what I do. Based in Sydney, working with clients across Australia, the US and Canada.
