I help founders and businesses turn MVPs, AI-assisted applications, and SaaS products into secure, scalable, production-ready systems.
I have experience across full-stack development, cloud architecture, DevOps, infrastructure, API integration, and production operations. My focus is not just writing code but making applications reliable enough for real users: clean deployment, secure configuration, database setup, monitoring, backups, CI/CD and long-term maintainability.
I can help with:
- SaaS and AI application production deployment
- AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and DigitalOcean infrastructure
- Kubernetes, Docker, and containerized deployments
- GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, and automated release workflows
- Supabase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and database administration
- API integrations, OAuth, webhooks, and token handling
- Cloudflare, DNS, SSL, domains, and edge protection
- Backups, logging, monitoring, and production hardening
- Architecture review, refactoring, scalability, and cost optimisation
My approach is practical and production-focused: understand the current system, identify the real risks, simplify where needed and build a cloud setup that is secure, maintainable and cost-effective.
I am a good fit if you have a working MVP or SaaS application and need an experienced cloud/full-stack engineer to make it production-ready and scalable.

After five years working as a DevOps Engineer, and now freshly armed with a Master's in Cybersecurity, I can finally say my paranoia has some qualifications to back it up.
I have become fluent in YAML, emotionally dependent on caffeine, and professionally obsessed with automating myself out of a job. I specialize in herding containers with Kubernetes, battling entropy with Terraform, and convincing clouds (AWS, GCP, Azure, and the rest of the squad) to do my bidding.
I write a lot of Python scripts, mostly so Python knows I still care. I keep Linux machines running smooth, and I scan containers like I am that person at the airport who takes their job way too seriously.
Some days I am staring at more dashboards than a Formula 1 pit crew. Other days I am explaining SSL handshakes to people who definitely did not ask for that explanation. And yeah, I once wasted three hours of my life because of a missing semicolon. We don't talk about that.
I am here to solve real world problems, shift security left, and keep the servers up long enough to enjoy my coffee while it's still hot.

I'm a Senior Big Data and AI Engineer who builds production data platforms at petabyte scale and agentic AI systems that operate autonomously in production. Over the past nine years, I've worked across AWS, GCP, and Azure, delivering 50% faster pipelines, 40% cost reductions, and measurable automation of analytics workflows through LangGraph, Google ADK, and Databricks.
On Upwork that translates into 21 completed contracts with near-perfect 5-star ratings and repeat enterprise clients — from quick, high-stakes database fixes to 100+ hour platform engagements. I take full ownership: architecture, cloud infrastructure, and delivery.
WHAT CLIENTS HIRE ME FOR
• Databases & DBA (deep specialty) — PostgreSQL, Citus, TimescaleDB, ClickHouse, and Trino: cluster design, replication and high availability, performance tuning, and migrations with zero data loss (RDS-to-Citus, 500GB+ PostgreSQL, ClickHouse shard/replication design). This is where my reviews are densest:
- "His knowledge of ClickHouse Cluster is truly exceptional. He designed it exactly as needed."
- "A game-changer — his analysis identified cost-saving opportunities and improved our solution architecture." (AWS database review)
- "Super helpful even though it was new technology that's hard to find talent for." (pgvector on RDS Postgres)
- "Did a fantastic job improving the database speed and migration." (500GB PostgreSQL migration)
• Big-Data Platforms & Pipelines — Apache Spark, Trino, Apache Iceberg/Delta Lake, and Airflow + dbt on Kubernetes. I design petabyte-scale batch and streaming pipelines with the governance, lineage, observability, and SLOs production demands — typically 50% faster processing, 40% lower cost, and 99.9% uptime.
• Production GenAI & Autonomous Agents — agentic systems on Google-ADK, LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, and MCP, plus RAG pipelines on Milvus, pgvector, and Pinecone. I ship them with real tracing and observability (LangFuse, Opik, MLflow) and guardrails — systems that run reliably, not demos.
RECENT WORK
• ClickHomes AI — a live real-estate analytics and lead-generation platform I architected end to end: a dual database (ClickHouse OLAP + PostgreSQL OLTP), a RESO-compliant ETL pipeline ingesting 9,500+ MLS listings with schema validation and lineage, a LangGraph ReAct AI search agent with streaming responses, multi-factor lead scoring, and Celery-powered email drip campaigns — deployed on Docker/Nginx and live in production.
• TARA @ UXCam — an autonomous multi-agent analytics platform (Google-ADK + MCP) across 500+ mobile apps that cut analytics delivery time by 60% and manual effort by 75%, with RAG over 1M+ videos a month and full agent observability, governing 10TB+ of data per day on Databricks + Unity Catalog.
HOW I WORK
I design the architecture, stand up the cloud infrastructure, and deliver production-ready code — then make it observable, reliable, and cost-efficient. I communicate clearly and proactively across time zones, and I'm direct about trade-offs and timelines.
TECH STACK
Databases: PostgreSQL, Citus, TimescaleDB, ClickHouse, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis. Data: Apache Spark, Trino, Apache Iceberg, Delta Lake, Airflow, dbt, Kafka, Kinesis. AI/GenAI: Google-ADK, LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, MCP, RAG, Milvus, pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate, MLflow, LangFuse, Opik. Cloud & DevOps: AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, CI/CD, Prometheus, Grafana. Languages: Python, SQL, FastAPI, Next.js. Education: B.Tech in Computer Science.
If you're building or scaling a data platform, fixing a database bottleneck, or putting an AI agent into production, send me a short brief — I'll reply with a concrete plan, a timeline, and the trade-offs that matter.
