Hire the Best Kubernetes Developers

ML engineer who builds LLM and production ML systems, plus the Python backends and infra they run on. That mix is my edge: my models don't just sit in a notebook; they run fast, cheaply, and reliably in production. 5 years in production ML. CKA certified. 49 projects on Upwork. What I build: Python backends and APIs: FastAPI, async services, REST and OpenAI-compatible endpoints, Redis for caching and feature stores, built to hold a p95 target in a live request path (I cut one serving path from ~25s to 4-5s under concurrent load). Platform and infra: containerized deployment across 50+ Kubernetes clusters, Terraform IaC, ArgoCD/Helm GitOps, and Prometheus/Grafana monitoring, hosted or in your own cloud. Cost-efficient GPU and inference: self-host open models (Qwen, testing MiniMax/GLM) to replace expensive APIs, and two-layer autoscaling (KEDA + Karpenter) that cut idle GPU spend ~50%. LLM and RAG systems: model serving on vLLM, RAG pipelines with monitoring on retrieval quality, and structured/guided decoding so outputs follow a fixed schema your backend can consume. Local and edge inference: quantized GGUF models profiled and tuned to run on CPU and constrained hardware, not just big GPUs. Stack: Python, FastAPI, PyTorch, vLLM, LiteLLM, RAG, MLflow, Kubernetes, AWS/SageMaker, Terraform, ArgoCD/Helm, Docker. Need it built hands-on or designed right? I work in your stack, send clear updates, and care about systems that keep running after I hand them off. Tell me what you're building and I'll give you an honest take.

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.
