Google-Grade Reliability for Your Cloud Infrastructure. GCP 10x Certified, AWS 1x Certified, Databricks 1X certified
Senior Infrastructure Architect and former Google SRE (11 years) and Oracle Engineer with over 25 years of experience managing global-scale production environments. If you are looking for a "pair of hands" to write scripts, there are many options. If you are looking for an Owner-Architect to design, secure, and scale your business-critical infrastructure with zero-risk execution, let’s talk.
With 10x GCP Professional Certifications, I specialize in taking complex, high-traffic ecosystems and making them resilient, cost-effective, and simple to manage.
Expertise Across the Stack:
Cloud Architecture: Expert-level design and migration across GCP, AWS, and Hybrid Cloud.
DevOps & SRE: Implementing "True SRE" principles—SLOs, error budgets, and automated toil reduction.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Building reproducible, version-controlled environments using Terraform, Helm, Ansible, and Packer.
Kubernetes & Orchestration: Deep experience with GKE, EKS, and self-managed clusters (Rancher).
Security & Compliance: Hardening infrastructure via VPC Service Controls, Zero-Trust IAM, and automated security pipelines.
CI/CD Optimization: Streamlining delivery via Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and Google Cloud Build.
Why Work With Me?
The "Google" Standard: I apply the same rigor and reliability standards I used at Google to your infrastructure, ensuring 99.9% availability.
Cost Efficiency: I specialize in cloud cost optimization, often saving my clients more in monthly cloud spend than the cost of my engagement.
Simplicity at Scale: I believe the best architecture is the simplest one that solves the problem. I build systems that your team can actually maintain.
Technical Proficiencies:
Linux: 20+ years of deep systems-level expertise (RHEL, Debian, Ubuntu).
Automation: Puppet, Ansible, Terraform.
CI/CD: Jenkins, Artifactory, GitHub, Cloud Build.
Containers: Docker, Kubernetes, Container Registry.

I build production AI agents that actually do the work: voice agents that book appointments, RAG agents that read your docs, browser agents that fill forms, and multi-agent systems that coordinate across tools, then I deploy them on infrastructure that holds up under real load.
Most "AI integrations" look great in a demo and fall apart in production. Hardcoded timestamps, brittle prompts, missing edge cases, they ship, then quietly fail at 3 AM. Mine don't. I catch that before launch, not after a client complaint.
8 years in software, 29 jobs delivered on Upwork, 93% Job Success, $20K+ earned. Recent example: a Vapi appointment-booking agent for a wellness clinic where I caught and patched production bugs, hardcoded timestamps, test placeholders, before go-live.
🎯 What I build
▸ AI Voice Agents (Vapi, Retell, Bland): Inbound and outbound calling for appointment booking, sales qualification, and support. Custom tools for slot availability, date validation, CRM writebacks, and graceful handoff to humans.
▸ Agentic RAG & LLM Integrations: Production RAG pipelines over PDFs, product catalogs, and internal docs. Tool use, memory, and routing across OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and LangChain. Local models (Ollama) for data-residency requirements, plus MCP server integrations.
▸ Workflow Automation (n8n, Make, Zapier): Lead routing, document generation, system-to-system sync, and multi-step approval chains. If your team copies data between tools or regenerates the same documents repeatedly, that workflow is replaceable: I scope, build, and document it in days.
▸ Multi-Agent Systems (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen): Orchestrated workflows where specialized agents handle research, writing, validation, and escalation. State machines, shared memory, retry logic, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints.
▸ Browser & Computer-Use Agents: Agents that navigate web apps, fill forms, and complete multi-step workflows. Built for tools that don't have good APIs.
▸ DevOps & Deployment (AWS, Docker, CI/CD): Building the agent is half the work. I deploy on AWS (EC2, ECS, Lambda), containerize with Docker, set up CI/CD, and add observability (logging, prompt tracing, cost monitoring) so your AI doesn't ship and silently fail.
📊 How I work
✔ Scoped proposal within 24 hours of a discovery call
✔ Weekly demo cycles, not month-long silence
✔ Production-grade code: logging, error handling, edge-case coverage
✔ Fixed-scope quotes, no surprise hourly creep
✔ Documentation your in-house team can maintain
⭐ Recent client feedback
"Excellent experience on a complex Agentic RAG system. Strong expertise in building production-grade AI solutions integrating product catalogs, PDFs, and backend systems."
