Hire the Best Terraform Developers
in the United States

I build and run Production Infrastructure on AWS, GCP, Azure and on-prem. Most of my work the last few years has been Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, AKS, and bare metal RKE2 with Rancher) and getting that infrastructure through compliance audits: HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI DSS, NIST 800-53. 10+ years in DevOps. Top Rated Plus, 100% Job Success. 𝙎𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙣 𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙖 𝙤𝙛 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙙𝙤: Built an on-prem RKE2 cluster from scratch for a company preparing for SOC 2 and HIPAA. Rancher for management, Cilium with WireGuard for encrypted pod traffic, GPU nodes for their ML workloads, Longhorn for storage, Velero for backups, ArgoCD for deployments. Also enforced SSO through Entra ID on every cluster and SSH access point because their auditors required it. Took a healthcare data platform through HIPAA hardening on AWS. ECS Fargate, Aurora PostgreSQL, private subnets, TLS everywhere, proper secrets handling. Phase one was making it work, phase two was making it pass an audit. Different skill sets, I do both. Modernized AWS infrastructure for a holding group running four brands. Moved everything to ECS Fargate and Aurora Multi-AZ, set up blue-green deployments, CloudFront in front. Midway through we found a security breach in their GitHub org and I handled the full remediation across every repo. Fixed a production Aurora MySQL performance problem that had their app timing out during peak hours. Root cause was tmp table spill to disk. Tuned it, added a reader, no downtime. I also do a lot of unglamorous work that keeps things running: CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD), Terraform for everything, monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana, cost cleanup, VPN and networking issues, database migrations. Industries I know well: Healthcare (HIPAA is second nature at this point), Fintech and Payments (PCI DSS), and B2B SaaS. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙢𝙚: Infrastructure that is written down in code, documented, and reproducible. I answer messages fast and I will tell you upfront if something is a bad idea or if I am not the right person for it. Send me your project details and current setup. I will give you an honest read on scope and effort before you spend anything.

I deliver premium engineering services with fast, reliable turnaround. Available Monday–Friday, with limited Saturday availability. I bring 15+ years of experience across software engineering, development, and design, with work spanning education, media, healthcare, and energy. I’m equally comfortable on the frontend and backend, and I specialize in AWS cloud architecture and DevOps, holding Solutions Architect, Security, and Developer certifications. My toolkit includes JavaScript, Python, PHP, SQL, React/React Native, Node.js, Serverless, Docker, Terraform, GitHub Actions, CI/CD, and GraphQL—focused on building scalable, secure, production-ready systems. Let’s talk soon. — Brandon

Founders went out and built whatever they could dream up. And here we are again helping them deploy, maintain, and refactor their vibe-coded apps with real engineering experience. The actual coding was always one percent of the work. When you want to ship and scale anything serious: payments, auth, data integrity, infrastructure that won't fall over at 2 a.m. you need someone with experience beyond coding to handle your tech. That's me. 14,000+ hours on Upwork, $1M+ earned, Expert-Vetted, 100% Job Success across 143 contracts. Background: - 10+ years shipping production SaaS - Next.js, React, Python/FastAPI, Node, PostgreSQL, Supabase - Cloud architecture and DevOps - AWS (EC2, ECS, S3, CloudFront, Lambda, RDS), Terraform, Docker, GitHub Actions - Reverse-engineering legacy systems and getting them running cleanly on modern infrastructure (most recent: $21K, 186 hrs, 5.0 rating) - Performance optimization, security hardening, IAM and backup strategy, compliance work - Full-stack means actually full-stack - components, API routes, database, deployment, the whole system handed over without a babysitter I also work AI-native - not as a separate practice, but as how I build day to day. I run my own business on a custom AI agent system (Claude API, Python orchestration, multi-agent pipelines, MCP). I've shipped autonomous SEO auditors, content publishing pipelines, Telegram-driven operational bots, and proposal-drafting systems. I'm at my best when the project needs both the application code and the infrastructure under it. I'm not the right hire for filling a seat on a sprint team, or for pure code-monkey gigs that bypass architectural conversation. I am the right hire for: - Architecture audits and code reviews - tell me what's broken and I'll tell you why - MVP → production sprints - bringing prototypes up to a deployable, observable, maintainable standard - Cloud architecture, AWS migrations, IaC builds I'm at my best when the project needs both the application code and the infrastructure under it.

Personal R&D for now, but happy to pull it forward if your project lives there. If you've got a SaaS that needs scaling, infra that needs un-effed, or a build where the stakes are real — let's talk.

Most businesses run into these problems because their cloud infrastructure was never properly architected from the start, their CI/CD pipelines are outdated, or security and monitoring simply weren't set up right. This is exactly what I fix every day. Whether it's a messy AWS Architecture that's bleeding money, a GCP DevOps pipeline that's holding your team back, or legacy systems that desperately need to move to the cloud. I don't just write code, I dig into the real problem behind your infrastructure and deliver a solution that cuts costs, boosts performance, and lets you finally stop worrying about 3 AM outage calls.
