I help regulated businesses and high-growth technology teams build secure, scalable cloud systems and bring infrastructure costs back in line with actual usage. Cloud architecture across AWS, Azure, and GCP is one half of the practice. The other half is enterprise systems integration: Microsoft Dynamics 365, Salesforce, SAP, and Oracle, including a SAP architecture for a European heavy industrial manufacturer under strict defense-sector compliance, and a full legacy-to-current Oracle migration carried out with training and complete data integrity. Dynamics 365 in particular runs on Azure and Dataverse, so the enterprise systems work and the cloud architecture work are not two separate practices. They inform each other directly, the platform a business runs on and the infrastructure underneath it. Built for production load, not demo load, audit-ready for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR standards. What I deliver for your business: Cloud Architecture and Migration: planning and migrating existing workloads to high-availability multi-cloud environments. Enterprise Systems Integration: architecting and integrating Dynamics 365, Salesforce, SAP, and Oracle, spanning regulated industrial, manufacturing, and enterprise sectors. Infrastructure as Code: designing clean, modular Terraform configurations for policy-based resource provisioning. Container Orchestration: deploying and managing Kubernetes platform infrastructure, observability, and release pipelines. DevSecOps Hardening: implementing access controls, firewall constraints, and securing CI/CD pipelines through GitHub Actions, GitLab, and Jenkins. Cost Optimization: conducting cloud billing audits, setting up budget alerts, and removing resource waste. Available for project-based work or ongoing infrastructure and systems support. Send over what you are building or what is not working, and you will get a direct technical read back, including an honest answer on whether I am the right fit for it.

I build and run production infrastructure on AWS, GCP, Azure, and on-prem. Most of my work over 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, and NIST 800-53. 10+ years in DevOps. Top Rated Plus, 100% Job Success. RECENT PROJECTS Built an on-prem RKE2 Kubernetes 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. 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, and 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, put 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 an app timing out during peak hours. Root cause was tmp table spill to disk. Tuned it, added a reader instance, zero downtime. I also do the 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, and 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'm a Cloud and AI Systems Architect with 15+ years of enterprise experience, including 4 years at Microsoft on the Azure team where I consulted F500 companies like AT&T, Walmart, and Mastercard on AI, cloud adoption, security, and infrastructure at scale. I founded TechVora, a small in-office engineering team based in Houston, TX. We work mainly with clients where security, compliance, and uptime are non-negotiable. All engineers work in-house, we never sub out work, which matters when sensitive data is involved. WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT I act as the architect on every engagement and don't bill for my time. You get senior-level architecture, design, and oversight built into the cost of your developer. AI & PRODUCTION SYSTEMS Over the last two years we've shifted heavily into production AI - we've shipped four enterprise-grade multi-tenant AI applications across legal, accounting, oil & gas, and media, all involving custom LLM pipelines, RAG, and agents handling real sensitive data at scale. CORE COMPETENCIES - Cloud Architecture & Migration (Azure, AWS, GCP) - AI/LLM Integration — RAG, Agents, Multi-tenant Production Apps - DevSecOps, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep) - Data Pipelines, Warehousing & ETL - HIPAA-Compliant Architecture - Monitoring, Observability & Incident Response - M365, Azure Security & Compliance Happy to jump on a quick call - I offer a free strategy session for any new engagement.

I’m a Senior DevOps & Cloud Migration Engineer with 10+ years of hands-on experience delivering complex cloud, on-prem, and hybrid transformations for enterprise and government-regulated environments. I specialize in high-risk, time-sensitive migrations where security, reliability, and zero-downtime are critical. I’ve led and executed large-scale platform migrations across AWS, Azure, on-prem Kubernetes, and hybrid setups—often under tight deadlines. What I do best Cloud & platform migrations (cloud ↔ on-prem, AWS ↔ AWS, hybrid) Infrastructure as Code using Terraform (multi-env, production-grade) CI/CD modernization (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins) Kubernetes & container platforms (EKS, AKS, on-prem K8s, NGINX) API & integration platforms (AWS API Gateway, APIM, Layer7 migrations) Observability & monitoring (ELK, Dynatrace, logging & metrics) Selected work Migrated a cloud-based platform to on-prem Kubernetes for a government project with strict security and isolation requirements Migrated GitLab from Azure to on-prem, then containerized it on Kubernetes, including CI runners Completed a full AWS account-to-account migration (DEV, TST, QA, UAT, PRD) in 22 days, covering networking, IAM, CI/CD, and applications Migrated 180+ APIs from Layer7 (Broadcom) to AWS API Gateway, using AI-assisted tooling to accelerate delivery Helped customers replace Splunk with ELK and integrate Dynatrace for infra and app monitoring I focus on clean architecture, automation, and security-first design, and I communicate clearly with both technical teams and business stakeholders. If you’re looking for someone who has actually executed migrations under pressure — not just planned them — I’d be happy to discuss your project.
