You need your AWS environment to be reliable, secure, cost-efficient, and easy to operate not a source of stress every time you deploy, scale, migrate, or troubleshoot.
That is where I can help.
I work with startups, SaaS companies, and small businesses that need to build, migrate, secure, automate, or optimize AWS environments using services such as EC2, ECS, Fargate, RDS, CloudFront, WAF, Route 53, Terraform, CI/CD, Docker, CloudWatch, and Secrets Manager.
If your application is still running on a VPS, manual server, unstable deployment process, exposed infrastructure, or an AWS setup that became expensive and hard to maintain, I can help you turn it into a cleaner, safer, and more production-ready cloud environment.
You can work with me when you need to:
✅ Deploy your application on AWS
I can help you deploy Docker, backend, frontend, API, or SaaS workloads using EC2, ECS Fargate, ECR, ALB, Route 53, ACM, CloudFront, RDS, and CloudWatch.
✅ Migrate your infrastructure to AWS
If you are moving from DigitalOcean, Hetzner, VPS, Coolify, cPanel, another AWS region, or a manual server setup, I can help you plan and execute the migration while reducing downtime and protecting your data.
✅ Automate your deployments
I can help you replace manual deployments with CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, Docker, ECR, ECS, rollback strategies, and secure IAM access.
✅ Build infrastructure with Terraform
You get repeatable, documented, and scalable infrastructure using Terraform or CloudFormation, instead of manual AWS console changes that are hard to track and maintain.
✅ Secure your AWS account and application
I can review and improve IAM, security groups, WAF, KMS, Secrets Manager, GuardDuty, Inspector, Security Hub, TLS, CloudTrail, and general AWS security practices.
✅ Reduce your AWS costs
If your AWS bill is growing and you are not sure why, I can analyze your environment using Cost Explorer, Trusted Advisor, Compute Optimizer, rightsizing, unused resource cleanup, and practical FinOps recommendations.
✅ Improve monitoring and reliability
I can set up CloudWatch logs, alarms, dashboards, metrics, SNS/Lambda alerts, Slack notifications, and operational visibility so you know what is happening before your users complain.
Why clients work with me:
• 5x AWS Certified, including AWS Solutions Architect Professional
• Hands-on experience with production systems in the financial sector
• Strong background in AWS architecture, DevOps, security, automation, and observability
• Clear communication, organized documentation, and practical execution
• Focus on secure, reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient cloud environments
• 5-star Upwork feedback for AWS delivery and communication
Recent work includes building an AWS-based prerendering solution using Node.js and Puppeteer to improve crawler visibility and SEO for a JavaScript SPA.
If you want your AWS environment to be cleaner, safer, easier to deploy, easier to monitor, and better prepared for growth, send me a message and I will help you define the best path forward.

I help startups and companies fix, scale, and optimize their cloud environments.
I’m a Cloud & DevOps engineer with 4+ years of experience, working mainly with Google Cloud and also supporting AWS environments. My work focuses on migrations, cost reduction, reliability improvements, and deployment automation.
Many teams reach me when their application starts growing and the infrastructure becomes expensive, unstable, or hard to manage. I review the architecture, reorganize services, and implement automation so the platform becomes predictable and easier to maintain.
I have experience supporting production workloads, building CI/CD pipelines, managing Kubernetes clusters, and creating data automation workflows, always focusing on operational stability.
What I can help you with:
• Cloud architecture review and improvements
• Migration from Heroku, on-premise, or between cloud providers
• Cost optimization and resource cleanup
• CI/CD setup and deployment automation
• Kubernetes and Docker environments
• Terraform infrastructure as code
• Monitoring and reliability improvements
• Python automation and data workflows

Senior AWS Solutions Architect | DevOps/SRE | Kubernetes & Cost Optimization
I help startups and scaleups ship faster, cheaper, and safer on AWS. Recent results: reduced production incidents by 62%, cut monthly cloud spend by $38k through rightsizing and gp2→gp3 migrations, and brought deploy time down from 45 min to 6 min with a GitHub Actions + ArgoCD pipeline.
My edge: I blend Solutions Architecture, DevOps, and SRE. That means I design clean, scalable systems, automate everything end-to-end, and harden reliability with the right observability and on-call hygiene.
Highlights:
Designed multi-account AWS setups (EKS, VPC, ALB/NLB, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Route 53) with IaC (Terraform & CDK).
Built progressive delivery with Argo Rollouts (blue/green & canary) and automated rollbacks.
Implemented cost-savings playbooks (ECS/EKS rightsizing, Graviton, storage class tuning) with measurable ROI.
Production-grade observability: Prometheus/Grafana, CloudWatch, alerting SLOs, incident response runbooks.
Languages & tooling: Go, Python, Bash, Docker, Helm, Karpenter, KEDA, Istio, APISIX, GitHub Actions.
If you need someone to diagnose a flaky pipeline, tame AWS costs, design a resilient architecture, or migrate safely to Kubernetes, I’m ready to jump in and deliver results in days—not weeks.

I build AI-powered systems that automate complex business processes — replacing expensive manual work with software that runs 24/7. As Co-Founder & CTO of Liftlio (US-incorporated, Crunchbase-listed), I built an AI platform from scratch that automates what marketing agencies charge $2K–$15K/month for.
Real production results:
→ +340% organic traffic with AI-generated SEO content (avg score: 89/100)
→ 24.8% conversion rate — 7.7x higher than paid ads
→ AI outreach engine: prospects processed autonomously
→ 8-platform automation with isolated Docker containers per client
The infrastructure I designed and built solo:
→ Auto-scalable VPS with 180+ Docker containers in production
→ On-demand GPU compute (RunPod): I spin up GPUs only when needed for heavy AI — video/image generation, model training & fine-tuning, batch inference — billed per second, with zero idle cost
→ Multi-project browser orchestration: per-client isolated containers with Chromium, AI agent (Claude), residential proxy, VNC access, and anti-detection (behavioral mouse/typing/scroll patterns)
→ SEO Agent: autonomous container (Claude Code CLI + Puppeteer) that analyzes Google Trends, creates 2500+ word articles, monitors ranking decay daily
→ Video Qualifier: Python/FastAPI service using Claude Sonnet for semantic video analysis — replaced enterprise tool at 10x less resource usage
→ Custom analytics server (PostHog alternative) with real-time 3D globe, conversion attribution, LLM citation tracking
→ Full SaaS backend on Supabase: 400+ PostgreSQL functions, Edge Functions, RLS, branching workflow (dev/main/local), Square billing
→ Google Cloud APIs: 1.81M YouTube queries/day quota
Before Liftlio: senior backend engineer at a fintech processing 100M+ transactions.
What I deliver for clients:
→ AI/ML systems that work in PRODUCTION — not demos
→ On-demand GPU power (RunPod) for heavy AI — generate video/images and train models at pennies per job, with no monthly cloud bills
→ Docker infrastructure and container orchestration
→ Complex database architecture (400+ SQL functions)
→ Full-stack SaaS (React 19, TypeScript, Node, Python)
→ Browser automation at scale with anti-detection
→ Healthcare automation with HIPAA compliance
Fast communication, production-ready delivery.
