Hire the Best DevOps Engineers
in Canada

Over the last 8 years, I have been working as a System Engineer/DevOps for the different companies with on-premise/cloud hostings. My primary focus is the design, development, deployment, and setup of the environments from scratch, troubleshooting/support/improvement of the existing production systems based on Linux/Windows with the focus on automation, high availability, and security. I have experience in automation/monitoring/backup of different distributed environments with LAMP/LEMP stacks and other applications, different clustering, scalability, and high-availability techniques. Operating systems: Debian/Ubuntu, Redhat(Fedora, RHEL, CentOS), AmazonLinux, CloudLinux Level of skill with Unix/Linux: RHCE, MCSE, CCNA Databases: Oracle,Mssql,Mysql,MariaDB,MongoDB,Redis DB Clustering & Replication Programming/scripting languages: Bash, C, C++ Clouds: Amazon AWS (EC2, S3, RDS)/Azure/Digital Ocean/Linode/Cloud Flare/ Hostgator Automation: Ansible, Docker, Kubernetes Continuous integration/deployment: Jenkins, Gitlab, Github, Sonarqube Language: English, Spanish Availability: up to 40hrs/week Any work including the following: Initial setup of the server which includes configuring software/hardware raid, disk partitioning(LVM as well) Installing OS, Control panel, hardening/optimizing the server including firewall, rebuilding Apache / PHP, set up private name servers, migrating accounts to the server, ensuring all sites are working and make adjustments to a server if necessary, make further optimizations to best fit the current environment.

I help engineering teams stabilize cloud infrastructure, automate deployments, and keep production systems reliable using AWS, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD automation. Most clients bring me in to fix unstable deployments, unclear infrastructure ownership, slow release cycles, poor monitoring, or cloud environments that have grown difficult to manage. After the initial setup or audit, many retain me long term to support CI/CD pipelines, backend reliability, production operations, and ongoing infrastructure improvements. With over 7 years of hands-on DevOps experience, I work directly on AWS infrastructure, Terraform provisioning, ECS/EKS container deployments, GitHub Actions and Jenkins pipelines, Linux systems, monitoring, automation, and production troubleshooting. My focus is building infrastructure that is secure, observable, cost-aware, and easy for development teams to deploy into — whether supporting a SaaS platform, internal business system, e-commerce application, or data-intensive workload. If you are dealing with failed deployments, unreliable releases, poor visibility, AWS cost concerns, or production stability issues, I can review your current setup and provide practical, measurable improvements. Available for a 30-minute DevOps consultation. I can walk through your current environment, identify risks, and suggest clear next steps. ✅ Core Expertise • Cloud: AWS ECS/Fargate, EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, IAM, CloudWatch, CloudFront • Containers: Docker, Kubernetes, EKS, Helm, autoscaling, self-healing workloads • CI/CD: GitHub Actions, Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline, automated build and release pipelines • Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, modular multi-environment infrastructure, CloudFormation • Systems: Linux administration, shell scripting, Ansible automation • Security & Secrets: AWS SSM, Vault, least-privilege IAM, secure environment management • Observability: CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, alerts, dashboards, log analysis • Networking: VPC design, load balancers, NAT gateways, DNS, SSL, VPN, peering • Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB Atlas, backups, connectivity, security rules ✅ Proven Delivery • Built and supported AWS infrastructure for production applications handling high transaction volume • Reduced release cycles from hours to minutes through automated CI/CD pipelines • Deployed and scaled containerized services for high-traffic production workloads • Implemented rollback, blue/green, and zero-downtime deployment strategies • Improved monitoring, alerting, and production visibility using CloudWatch, Grafana, and log-based diagnostics • Reduced cloud costs through right-sizing, cleanup, and infrastructure optimization • Applied security hardening based on least-privilege access, network isolation, and production best practices ✅ How I Work I take ownership of the infrastructure from architecture to deployment and ongoing reliability.
