Your last DevOps person left and nobody knows how the infrastructure works. I've spent 8 years fixing exactly that for SaaS companies - Paramount+, LexisNexis, and three active clients right now. Top Rated Plus, 100% Job Success Score. ───── 🔧 I pick up where the last person left off. Your previous engineer quit, left half-finished Terraform and a pipeline migration that never got completed? I've walked into that exact situation at three companies this year. I absorb context fast, finish what they started, and hand your team a platform they can actually operate without me. If that sounds like your situation, send me a message with what's broken. I'll tell you what the fix looks like. 📋 Fixed scope. Clear outcome. 4-6 weeks. You know what you're getting and what it costs before we start. When I'm done, your infrastructure is codified in Terraform, your deployments are automated, and your team has operational documentation good enough that your junior engineers can run it. 30-day support window included after delivery. One client rebuilt their entire platform from zero in 79 minutes because of what I built. Another client raised my rate 40% on their own - I didn't ask. ☁️ AWS, GCP, Azure - whatever your stack needs. Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Linkerd, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps. But you're not hiring me for tool names. You're hiring me so your infrastructure stops being the thing that keeps you up at night and starts being the reason you close enterprise deals. ───── ⭐ Government SaaS (Multi-Tenant Platform) -- Built the entire AKS platform from scratch. Linkerd service mesh enforcing mTLS tenant isolation. ArgoCD GitOps -- onboarding a new tenant is three config files. Full platform rebuild validated at 79 minutes. ⭐ Legal Tech SaaS -- Inherited half-finished Terraform fragments that didn't match what was running. Refactored into clean modules, built cross-cloud DR across GCP and AWS, automated deploys through GitHub Actions. Client raised my rate 40% unprompted. ⭐ Healthcare Finance SaaS -- Embedded after their DevOps engineer quit. 93+ PRs across 25+ repos in 5 months. JSON validation, pipeline migration, centralized templates, README enforcement org-wide. ───── If you've got infrastructure problems piling up and nobody to pick them up - send me a message and let's figure out the fix.

Most AI and cloud projects do not fail because the idea is bad. They fail because the app works in a demo but breaks in production. The deployment is fragile. The cloud setup is confusing. The AI output is unreliable. Logs are missing. Nobody knows whether the issue is in the frontend, backend, infrastructure, or model layer. That is where I help. I build and fix production systems across AI, cloud infrastructure, and full-stack applications. I have worked on React frontends, Python and Node.js backends, AWS/GCP/Azure infrastructure, Kubernetes clusters, CI/CD pipelines, and LLM-powered workflows using tools like Claude, OpenAI, and AWS Bedrock. I am especially useful when a team needs someone who can look across the whole system instead of only one layer. I can help you: * Build AI workflows that use structured outputs, APIs, human review, and production safety checks * Integrate Claude, OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, or other LLM tools into real applications * Build or improve full-stack apps with React, Node.js, Python, REST APIs, and cloud services * Fix broken AWS deployments, ECS/EKS issues, IAM problems, networking, and CI/CD failures * Stabilize Kubernetes environments across EKS, GKE, and AKS * Set up Terraform or Pulumi infrastructure that your team can actually maintain * Improve monitoring with CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, New Relic, or similar tools * Reduce cloud complexity and make systems easier to operate Recent work includes building an AWS Bedrock-powered security triage workflow, creating LLM-driven data enrichment workflows, deploying Kubernetes clusters across AWS/GCP/Azure, writing cloud automation with Pulumi and Terraform, and improving release reliability for production systems. My approach is simple: understand what is really happening, fix the root cause, avoid unnecessary complexity, and leave the system better documented than I found it. If your project involves AI, cloud infrastructure, or a full-stack application that needs to work reliably in production, I can help.
