✅ ABOUT ME
As an Certificate AWS DevOps Engineer, Senior DevOps, AWS Architect and Cloud Engineer, I bring 6+ years of hands-on experience across AWS, azure and kubernetes environments, moving fluidly between aws devops and azure devops work depending on what the client's stack demands.
39% lower AWS spend, from $2,000 to $800/month, delivered while working as an AWS DevOps Engineer, Senior DevOps, AWS Architect and Cloud Engineer for a Fintech SaaS client, where aws devops and devops practices ran side by side across a hybrid AWS and azure stack, backed by tight security & compliance controls and FinOps discipline from day one.
99.9% uptime and 60% faster releases came from building CI/CD and ci/cd pipelines with github actions, plus ci/cd azure workflows, in my role as an AWS DevOps Engineer, Senior DevOps, AWS Architect and Cloud Engineer for teams standardizing on Azure DevOps.
25+ kubernetes clusters managed with Docker and docker devops workflows cutting deployment time by 45%, work I take on as an AWS DevOps Engineer, Senior DevOps, AWS Architect and Cloud Engineer across both aws and azure devops environments.
12+ production environments hardened for security & compliance, with IAM policies and FinOps cost controls reducing audit findings by 30% on every AWS DevOps Engineer, Senior DevOps, AWS Architect and Cloud Engineer engagement I run.
18,000+ daily requests routed through ECS/Fargate, with Terraform/CDK and other IaC tools cutting environment provisioning from days to minutes, a core part of how I work as an AWS DevOps Engineer, Senior DevOps, AWS Architect and Cloud Engineer.
6+ mlops pipelines deployed alongside data engineer teams and a senior full stack developer, cutting model deployment time by 40% using python automation as an AWS DevOps Engineer, Senior DevOps, AWS Architect and Cloud Engineer.

Your server's down at 3am. Your cloud bill doubled. Deploys are a Friday nightmare. I fix exactly this — fast, with a rollback plan for every change.
Results from 49 completed projects (100% Job Success):
- 99.9% uptime — real monitoring with Prometheus, Grafana, and structured alerting
- 30-60% faster page loads — Nginx/Apache tuning, CDN, TLS hardening, HTTP/2
- 20-35% lower cloud costs — right-sizing, autoscaling, lifecycle policies, FinOps
- Deploys in minutes — Docker, Kubernetes, GitOps (ArgoCD/Flux), GitHub Actions, GitLab CI
What I do:
- Infrastructure & Containers: Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform, Ansible
- Cloud: AWS, GCP, Azure
- CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD, blue-green/canary deploys
- Monitoring: Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ELK/OpenSearch
- Security: Vault, SBOM/SLSA, Zero Trust, WireGuard/OpenVPN
- Scripting: Bash, Python, Go, PowerShell
How I start:
1. Quick audit (30-60 min) — what's running, what's breaking, what costs money for no reason
2. Prioritized action plan — what to fix now, what can wait, rollback strategy for every change
3. Early wins in 48 hours — faster response, fewer alerts, lower bill, working backups
I don't do "two weeks of discovery." I dig in, find the worst problems, fix them fast.
Tell me what's hurting — I'll be straight about whether I can help and what it takes.

I help fix broken Linux servers, Docker setups, and web infrastructure issues.
Most of my work is troubleshooting — identifying problems quickly and resolving them with minimal downtime.
I also set up servers from scratch and handle full configuration — from initial deployment to production-ready environments.
I have hands-on experience with:
Docker (custom setups, networking, debugging)
Nginx (configuration, routing, performance issues)
DNS (domain setup, propagation, misconfiguration fixes)
Email systems (SMTP, IMAP, POP3, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, spam issues)
Linux servers (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, RHEL)
I can help if:
Your server is down or unstable
Docker containers are not working or require custom setup
Nginx returns errors (502, 504, etc.)
Emails are not delivered or go to spam
SPF/DKIM/DMARC are misconfigured
You need a server configured from scratch
I focus on reliable solutions, minimal downtime, and clear communication.

My core focus is AWS, DevOps, CI/CD, and infrastructure automation, with an emphasis on reliability, scalability, security, and cost optimization.
🔧 What I can help you with:
AWS Cloud Infrastructure (EC2, ECS, EKS, RDS, S3, IAM, VPC, CloudWatch)
Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) – modular, reusable, production-grade setups
CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins)
Docker & Kubernetes – containerized deployments and orchestration
Serverless architectures (AWS Lambda, API Gateway)
System design & scaling – load balancing, auto-scaling, high availability
Monitoring & observability – logs, metrics, alerting, incident response
Performance optimization & troubleshooting in production environments
Cloud cost optimization and resource right-sizing
Security best practices (IAM, secrets management, network isolation)
Migrations to cloud (on-prem / legacy → AWS)
🚀 How I work:
Focus on real production results, not just configs
Build systems that are stable, predictable, and easy to maintain
Reduce manual work through automation and clean workflows
Quickly identify and fix bottlenecks and reliability issues
I’ve worked with startups and growing SaaS products, helping them move from fragile setups to scalable, production-ready infrastructure.
