Hire the Best Rackspace Cloud Servers Developers

Senior DevOps / Infrastructure Engineer with 10+ years of hands-on experience. My primary focus is AWS projects, but I also confidently support and improve infrastructure in multi-cloud environments (AWS / Azure / GCP / DigitalOcean / Hetzner and others), including self-hosted setups. I have successfully delivered multiple production projects with complex architectures — high availability, scaling under load, automated releases, monitoring/alerts, security hardening, backups/DR, and clear operational processes. I take ownership and drive systems to a stable, maintainable state. How I work: Infrastructure review / audit — architecture, security, reliability, costs, CI/CD, monitoring Improvement plan — priorities, quick wins, risks, and a step-by-step roadmap Implementation — automation, hardening, performance tuning, migrations, documentation Ongoing support & growth — stable operations, proactive improvements, clear communication What I do most often: Architecture & scaling (networking/VPC, load balancing, HA/failover) Cost optimization (right-sizing, storage/lifecycle, practical reservation strategies when applicable) CI/CD & delivery (GitLab CI / GitHub Actions, Docker deployments, rollback strategy) Monitoring/alerting/logging (Prometheus/Grafana/Zabbix/CloudWatch and equivalents) Security (IAM/least privilege, secrets, patching, backups, DR planning) Performance optimization for web apps and databases (Nginx, PHP-FPM, MySQL/PostgreSQL) If you need someone to own your infrastructure long-term, improve it systematically, and keep production stable — send me your current stack, pain points, and goals.

🚀 Are you facing AWS infrastructure issues, cloud migration risks, deployment failures, security vulnerabilities, or unstable production environments? I help businesses design, migrate, secure, automate, and maintain production-grade cloud infrastructure on AWS. MY 8+ years of hands-on experience, I work as a Senior AWS Cloud Engineer, DevOps Engineer, and Solutions Architect across SaaS platforms, web applications, databases, enterprise networks, and AI-powered systems.

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. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗱𝗼 ▸ Cloud infrastructure: AWS (EKS, ECS, Fargate, Lambda, VPC, IAM, Aurora, RDS, S3, CloudFront), GCP (GKE, Cloud Armor, managed databases), Azure (Azure DevOps, AKS), Oracle Cloud ▸ Kubernetes: cluster design and management, Helm charts, HPA autoscaling, NGINX and Traefik ingress, Rancher, multi environment setups on GCP and AWS ▸ Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, Ansible, AWS CloudFormation, Puppet, Chef ▸ CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, Azure Pipelines, AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, TeamCity ▸ Monitoring and observability: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, CloudWatch, New Relic, Nagios, Telegraf, InfluxDB, alerting and on call runbooks ▸ Security and compliance: HIPAA and SOC 2 aligned infrastructure, IAM hardening, VPN, network segmentation ▸ Migrations: on prem and VMware workloads to cloud, monoliths to containers, performance tuning and cost reduction after the move ▸ Linux and scripting: RHEL and Ubuntu administration, Bash and Python automation 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 I also write backend code (Python with Flask and Django, Go, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java) when the infrastructure work needs it. That means I can fix the application side of a deployment problem, build internal tooling, or wire up serverless functions myself instead of handing it back to your developers. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 ▸ Zazmic Inc, San Francisco: GCP platform built on Terraform and Ansible, GitLab CI pipelines, Helm based deployments, Cloud Armor and HPA for resilience ▸ Tripleseat, Concord MA: Azure and GCP environments, Azure DevOps pipelines, Docker, Grafana and Prometheus monitoring ▸ Century Communities, Greenwood Village CO: AWS and Oracle Cloud, ECS and EKS workloads, CircleCI, GitHub Actions and CodePipeline, Lambda and Ansible automation, CloudWatch 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 ▸ Honest scoping: you get a written scope, timeline, and the risks I see before any hours are billed. If something is out of my depth I say so. ▸ Your infrastructure stays yours: everything lives in your accounts and your repos, with documentation and handover notes so nobody depends on me to keep the lights on. ▸ Steady communication: regular progress updates in your channel of choice, no long silences, no surprises on the invoice. ▸ Production mindset: I treat your environment like I am on call for it, because during our engagement I am. That includes off hours incident response and 15 days of free support after delivery. ▸ Verifiable track record: Top Rated Plus with a 100% job success score, and I am happy to connect you with past clients for a reference.

DevOps and Linux engineer with 4+ years running production infrastructure for businesses that cannot afford downtime. 100+ projects delivered on Upwork at a 96% success rate, currently managing systems that handle millions of requests a day. Most clients reach out for one of three reasons. Something broke and they need it fixed fast. They are scaling and their setup will not hold. Or they want someone to review their cloud and tell them honestly what is wrong. I handle all three, find the root cause, fix it properly, and document everything so your team can maintain it. ☁️ 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 & 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗢𝗽𝘀 AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle Cloud, DigitalOcean, Hetzner.
