The engineer you call when software, infrastructure, and networking all need to work together. 🚀 Senior DevOps Engineer | Backend Developer | Cloud & Platform Engineer Most technical problems don't exist in a single layer. An application is slow, but the root cause is the database. A deployment fails because of infrastructure. An API works locally but breaks in production because of networking. AI features underperform because the data pipeline was designed incorrectly. My background spans software development, cloud infrastructure, Linux systems, networking, automation, and AI integrations, allowing me to build and troubleshoot systems end-to-end. Over the last 5+ years, I have worked across AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, CI/CD automation, backend APIs, distributed systems, AI-powered applications, and production environments supporting real business operations. 🎯 What I Can Help With ✅ Backend Development (Node.js, Python, Go, .NET) ✅ Cloud Infrastructure (AWS, GCP) ✅ Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) ✅ Kubernetes & Docker Platforms ✅ CI/CD Automation (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins) ✅ Linux Administration & Troubleshooting ✅ Database Design & Optimization ✅ AI & LLM Integrations (OpenAI, RAG, AI Agents) ✅ Monitoring, Observability & Reliability Engineering ✅ Performance Optimization & Cloud Cost Reduction 🔧 Clients Typically Bring Me In For • Building platforms that require both development and infrastructure expertise • Solving production issues that span applications, databases, networking, and cloud services • Modernizing deployment workflows and DevOps practices • Designing scalable cloud-native architectures • Integrating AI capabilities into existing products • Reducing operational complexity and cloud costs 💻 Core Technologies ☁️ Cloud AWS • GCP • Azure ⚙️ Infrastructure Terraform • Docker • Kubernetes • ECS • EKS • Linux 🖥 Backend Node.js • Python • Go • .NET • FastAPI 🌐 Frontend Next.js • React • TypeScript 🗄 Databases PostgreSQL • MySQL • MongoDB • Redis 🚀 DevOps GitHub Actions • GitLab CI • Jenkins • Monitoring • Observability 🤖 AI OpenAI • LLM Integrations • RAG Systems • AI Agents 💡 I work best with startups, SaaS companies, and engineering teams that need a single engineer capable of owning systems end-to-end—from architecture and development to deployment and operations. 🟢 If your project involves software, infrastructure, automation, or AI, let's talk.

Production infrastructure breaks in predictable ways: expensive cloud bills, unreliable Kubernetes clusters, Kafka pipelines nobody can debug, migrations that stall because nobody owns the full picture. That's where I come in. I'm a DevOps and Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with hands-on experience building and operating production-grade platforms in regulated environments. I work across the full stack, from EKS cluster design and observability to Go backends and FinOps-aware architecture. I'm a Docker Captain and an AWS Community Builder. What I've shipped: - CDC pipeline on Amazon MSK with SASL/SCRAM + MSK Connect, resolving layered DNS, IAM, and connector issues in a live banking environment - Full LGTM observability stack on EKS (Grafana Tempo, Loki, Mimir, OTel Collector) with S3-backed storage and IRSA, deployed via Helm - Cloud migration evaluation (AWS → Alibaba Cloud) coordinated across FinOps, DevOps, and Wintel teams, including vendor management and scoring framework - Go CLI + Docker-based web GUI for production AD/LDAP management, handling paged results, Windows FILETIME decoding, and UAC flag parsing - EKS backup infrastructure with Velero + IRSA, Fargate-compatible - Privileged access management system (SSH/SSM provisioning, one-time key delivery) built in Go + React I write Go for anything that needs to be fast, reliable, and maintainable, use Docker everywhere, and care about the operational cost of what I build. If you need infrastructure that holds up under production load, or someone who can own a complex cloud project end to end, let's talk.
