Top Rated Plus, top 1% on Upwork, 10+ years running production infrastructure for US companies. I am a DevOps and cloud infrastructure engineer. I design, automate, and run production environments on AWS, GCP, and Azure, and I take teams from manual deployments and "it works on my machine" to a repeatable, monitored, cost controlled platform they can ship to every day. Most of my clients come back for a second and third engagement, and many of the long running ones started as a single small task. I would rather tell you a scope is unrealistic before we start than discover it together halfway through.

I keep production systems running - and I run AI in production. Most people selling AI infrastructure have never been on call at 3am. I have, for a decade, across 50+ engagements at 100% job success and Expert-Vetted status. I design, build, and operate the layer AI actually needs - agent runtimes, automation pipelines, and the AWS/Linux foundation underneath - then I stay on to keep it running. WHAT I DO AI INFRASTRUCTURE & AUTOMATION - Multi-tenant AI agent hosting: isolated runtimes, orchestration, scale-to-zero, per-tenant cost control. I have architected an agent platform on AWS Graviton with gVisor sandboxing, from threat model through billing model. - LLM automation wired into real business systems - CRM, billing, ads, support, monitoring. Systems that run unattended and alert a human when they break, not demos. - Agentic monitoring: synthetic probes that create a real user, drive your critical workflow against the live system, assert every step, then self-delete with zero trace. CLOUD & DEVOPS - AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, ALB, IAM, Secrets Manager, SES, Savings Plans), Linux, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, CI/CD, zero-downtime deploys, DNS/TLS, nginx/Apache. - Cloud migrations and platform builds for SMB through Fortune 500. - Cost engineering: account audits, Savings Plan optimization to 99.7% utilization, storage-class migration, orphaned-resource cleanup. SECURITY & RELIABILITY - Live incident response: webshell and backdoor eradication, root cause, and the hardening that stops it recurring. - WAF and bot protection, secrets management, security headers, DKIM/SPF at fleet scale, automated backup and restore. ONGOING OWNERSHIP Most clients start with a fixed-scope project and stay on a monthly managed agreement - I own the infrastructure so their team does not have to. Monitoring, patching, incident response, cost control, and continuous automation improvements, at a fixed monthly fee. HOW I WORK Written plan before I start. Fixed milestones. Daily written updates. I verify against your live system before I call anything done - if it is not proven, I say so. Full handover: runbooks, access, documentation. No lock-in. WHY CLIENTS KEEP ME Upwork's own client feedback tags on this profile: Reliable, Solution Oriented, Clear Communicator, Collaborative, Professional, Committed to Quality, Accountable for Outcomes. 100% Job Success across 42 completed contracts. Tell me what is broken, what you are building, or what you want to stop worrying about. I will tell you honestly whether I am the right person for it.
