Most backend engineers can write code. Fewer can architect a system that holds up at scale, survives a traffic spike, and stays observable when something breaks at 2am. That's the gap I fill. I'm a Top Rated Plus engineer on Upwork with a 100% Job Success Score across 34 contracts and 4,600+ hours — working with clients from startups to enterprises across ticketing, marketplace, gaming, and HR domains since 2011. What I actually do: I design and build production-grade backend systems in Go — from the API layer down to the infrastructure. That means event-driven microservices with Kafka or RabbitMQ, containerized deployments on Kubernetes, full CI/CD pipelines, and cloud infrastructure on AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean, or Alibaba Cloud. I don't hand you a working local demo and disappear — I deliver something that runs reliably in production, with proper observability, testing at every layer, and documentation your team can maintain. Specifically, I can help you if: — Your monolith is becoming a bottleneck and you need to decompose it into services that scale independently — You're building a new product and need a senior engineer who can own the backend architecture from day one — Your Kubernetes setup is held together with hope and tribal knowledge, and you need someone to make it solid — You need CICD that actually works — automated testing, container builds, and deployments to staging and production without manual steps Tech I work with daily: Go · PostgreSQL · Redis · Kafka · RabbitMQ · Elasticsearch · Docker · Kubernetes · Helm · Terraform · AWS · GitHub Actions · GitLab CI · gRPC · REST How I work: I ask the right questions before writing the first line of code. I communicate in plain language, not jargon. I've worked in agile teams, solo, and everything in between — I adapt to your workflow, not the other way around. And I treat your codebase like I'll be the one maintaining it, because sometimes I am. If you need a senior engineer who thinks in systems, communicates clearly, and delivers work you won't have to redo — let's talk.

Production cloud infrastructure usually breaks in the same places: unstable deployments, rising AWS costs, weak observability, fragile Kubernetes clusters, messy Terraform, poor CI/CD, and cloud environments that were built quickly but now need to be made reliable, secure, and scalable. I help startups, SaaS companies, fintech teams, and growing engineering organizations build and operate production-ready cloud infrastructure across AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, observability, security, and automation. AWS is my primary cloud platform, and most of my work is around AWS infrastructure, EKS, EC2, RDS, VPC, IAM, S3, CloudFront, Route53, Lambda, ECR, ECS, CloudWatch, WAF, and cost optimization. I also have strong hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure, including GKE, Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub, Cloud Build, Azure DevOps, Azure infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and multi-cloud environments. I usually get called in when: — AWS infrastructure was built fast and now needs to be made production-grade — Kubernetes or EKS/GKE clusters are unstable, expensive, or difficult to operate — Terraform exists, but environments still drift or changes feel risky — CI/CD pipelines have too many manual steps or unreliable deployments — Cloud costs are growing faster than the product — Teams lack proper monitoring, alerting, logs, dashboards, or incident visibility — Security, IAM, networking, secrets, and access controls need cleanup — Applications need to be migrated from VMs or manual servers to cloud-native infrastructure — Engineering teams need a reliable DevOps/SRE partner who can own infrastructure work end to end What I can help with: AWS Cloud Infrastructure Designing, building, troubleshooting, and improving AWS environments using EC2, VPC, IAM, RDS, EKS, ECS, ECR, Lambda, S3, CloudFront, Route53, WAF, CloudWatch, SQS, SNS, API Gateway, Auto Scaling, Load Balancers, and cost controls. Kubernetes & Containers Production Kubernetes setup and support using EKS, GKE, Helm, ArgoCD, Helmfile, Docker, ingress controllers, autoscaling, pod disruption budgets, network policies, service discovery, resource optimization, and cluster troubleshooting. Terraform & Infrastructure as Code Clean, reusable, documented Terraform modules for AWS, GCP, and Azure. I help with remote state, multi-environment setups, Terraform refactoring, drift reduction, CloudFormation, AWS CDK, and infrastructure automation. CI/CD & Deployment Automation Reliable pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, AWS CodePipeline, Docker builds, Helm deployments, GitOps workflows, staged rollouts, blue-green deployments, rollback strategies, and release automation. Observability & SRE Monitoring, logging, tracing, dashboards, and alerts using Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, Loki, OpenTelemetry, Datadog, ELK Stack, PagerDuty, and incident response workflows. I focus on alerts that are useful, not noisy. Cloud Cost Optimization & FinOps AWS and Kubernetes cost reviews, unused resource cleanup, right-sizing, RDS optimization, S3 lifecycle policies, NAT/data transfer review, Savings Plans/Reserved Instance evaluation, Kubernetes resource efficiency, and monthly cost reporting. Security & Production Readiness IAM hardening, least-privilege access, secrets management, Vault, External Secrets, network security, security groups, WAF, backup readiness, disaster recovery planning, public exposure review, SOC2-ready practices, and cloud security baselines. Cloud Migration & Modernization Migration from traditional servers, VMs, or manual deployments to AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, and cloud-native architecture. I can help modernize fragile infrastructure without disrupting your product. How I work: I do not build demo infrastructure that only works during handoff. I build systems your team can understand, operate, modify, and scale after I am gone. My focus is clean documentation, reliable automation, secure access, practical monitoring, and infrastructure that supports the business instead of slowing it down. If your AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, or cloud infrastructure is unstable, expensive, hard to deploy, or difficult to monitor, send me a message with what is currently broken. I will tell you honestly what I would check first and whether I can help.
