Cloud infrastructure breaks at the worst possible time. I make sure it doesn't.
I'm Tahir — a Senior DevOps Engineer, working with startups, SaaS platforms, and enterprises across US, Europe and beyond. I've built systems running at 99.99% uptime for 10,000+ users, cut deployment times by 60%, and saved clients an average of 30% on cloud spend. 110+ jobs completed, Top Rated Plus, top 3% on Upwork.
If your team is dealing with slow deployments, fragile infrastructure, security gaps, or a cloud bill that keeps climbing — that's exactly where I come in.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT I HELP WITH
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
☁ Cloud Infrastructure (AWS · Azure · GCP)
Design and manage secure, high-availability architectures with EU region expertise — including GDPR compliance and data residency requirements. I've delivered production systems that don't go down.
⚙ CI/CD & DevSecOps
Pipelines that ship fast and stay secure. I build and optimize CI/CD workflows (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI) with SAST, DAST, container scanning, and secrets management built in — not bolted on after.
🐳 Kubernetes & Containers
Production-grade Kubernetes clusters on EKS, AKS, and GKE — with Helm, service mesh (Istio, Linkerd), GitOps, and zero-downtime deployments. I architect these to scale, not just run.
🔒 Cloud Security & Compliance
IAM, RBAC, KMS, Key Vault, WAF, zero-trust, vulnerability remediation. I've helped clients in finance and healthcare pass security audits and meet GDPR and EU data residency requirements.
💰 Cost Optimization
Rightsizing, auto-scaling, storage lifecycle policies — average 30% cloud cost reduction. I find where the money's leaking and fix it.
🚀 Migrations & Modernization
On-premise to cloud, cross-region, cloud-native refactoring. Done this for complex workloads on both AWS and Azure with EU localization requirements.
📊 Monitoring & Observability
Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, CloudWatch, Azure Monitor — full-stack visibility with SLOs, alerting, and incident response playbooks so your team knows before your users do.

I run a DevOps agency helping SaaS companies and IT businesses scale faster by providing senior DevOps engineers who optimize cloud infrastructure, accelerate deployments, and ensure production stability at scale. Our DevOps team partners with engineering leaders who need reliable, secure, and cost-efficient cloud systems — without hiring and managing an in-house team.
Our engineers specialize in designing, building, and maintaining secure and scalable cloud environments across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Whether you're starting from scratch or managing a complex multi-cloud setup, we architect AWS-native and cross-cloud solutions that are resilient and production-ready.
→ Cloud Infrastructure & Migration
We handle end-to-end cloud infrastructure design and cloud migration projects — moving legacy systems to AWS, Azure, or GCP with zero disruption to your business. Our DevOps engineers assess your existing architecture, build a migration roadmap, and execute the migration while maintaining security, performance, and compliance throughout every phase. Whether it's a lift-and-shift to AWS or a full re-architecture on GCP, we own the migration end to end.
→ DevOps & CI/CD Automation
We design and implement robust CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and ArgoCD — reducing release cycles from weeks to hours. Our GitOps-based CI/CD delivery model ensures consistent, auditable deployments with full automation of build, test, and deploy workflows, eliminating manual processes and human error across every cloud environment. Every DevOps engagement includes CI/CD as a foundation, not an afterthought.
→ Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Configuration Management
We manage all cloud infrastructure through Terraform and Ansible, ensuring predictable, repeatable, and version-controlled IaC environments. Terraform modules are written to be reusable across AWS, Azure, and GCP — making Terraform the single source of truth for your infrastructure. IaC practices allow your team to scale confidently and roll back safely when needed, with Terraform state managed securely in remote backends.
→ Kubernetes & Container Orchestration
Our DevOps engineers build and operate containerized systems using Docker and Kubernetes, supporting high-load, distributed applications. From Kubernetes cluster setup on AWS EKS, Azure AKS, or GCP GKE, and Helm chart management to Docker-based autoscaling and multi-tenant workloads — we make Kubernetes work reliably in production. Docker image optimization and Kubernetes resource tuning are part of every engagement.
→ Security & Compliance (DevSecOps)
Security is embedded at every layer of our DevOps work. We implement cloud security best practices across AWS, Azure, and GCP, integrate security scanning into CI/CD pipelines, manage secrets with HashiCorp Vault, and support security compliance automation for SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS requirements. AWS security configurations — IAM, VPC, Security Groups, GuardDuty — are applied from day one of every migration or infrastructure project.
→ Monitoring, Observability & Incident Response
We set up full-stack monitoring and observability using Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, and the ELK stack — giving your team complete visibility into cloud infrastructure health. Proactive monitoring and observability practices catch production incidents before they impact users, reducing downtime and keeping your Kubernetes and Docker workloads stable. Every AWS, Azure, and GCP environment we deliver includes monitoring as a core deliverable, not an optional add-on.
