I'm the Founder & CEO of two AI companies - UppLabs (Top 1% AI development agency on Clutch & Upwork) and OpsWorks Co. (DevOps and Cloud consultancy, AWS, GCP amd Azure Partner) - with a combined team of 50+ certified engineers.
BY THE NUMBERS:
🏆 100+ AI, DevOps, and software projects delivered
🏆 $2M+ combined earned on Upwork, 100% Job Success Score
🏆 $100M+ in client revenue generated
🏆 100+ certifications across the team
🏆 60,000+ hours logged, 200+ completed contracts
TWO THINGS WE DO BETTER THAN ALMOST ANYONE ON UPWORK:
🤖 1. BUILD AI-POWERED SOFTWARE
Custom AI agents, RAG pipelines, production ML models, and full-stack platforms for Fintech, Healthcare, and PropTech. Not ChatGPT wrappers - real systems that process transactions, automate clinical workflows, and make business decisions. Clients include Deloitte, Citibank, Disney, and TimelyCare.
⚙️ 2. BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE THAT RUNS ITSELF
AI-augmented DevOps, AWS/GCP/Azure architecture, and intelligent monitoring that self-heals, auto-scales, and cuts cloud costs. ETX Capital cut infrastructure spend by 50%. Syndigo cut costs by 92%. Vodafone improved efficiency by 40%.
HOW WE WORK - AI-NATIVE FROM DAY ONE:
We don't just build AI products - we use AI agents and modern automation internally to deliver faster and better than traditional teams.
🛠️ On the development side:
- AI-assisted architecture design and code generation to ship features 3x faster
- Agentic code review pipelines that catch bugs and security issues before humans do
- LLM-powered test generation and documentation — zero manual overhead
- AI pair programming across the entire engineering team as standard practice
🔁 On the DevOps side:
- AI agents that monitor infrastructure 24/7, detect anomalies, and self-heal before incidents occur
- Intelligent CI/CD pipelines with LLM-powered deployment gating and rollback triggers
- Agentic cost optimization that continuously rightsizes resources and eliminates waste
- AI-driven incident response that diagnoses, escalates, and resolves issues autonomously
💡 The result: your product gets built faster, your infrastructure costs less, and your team spends zero time on problems that machines can handle.
WHAT YOU GET:
✅ Production-ready AI: agents, LLM pipelines, fraud detection, clinical AI, compliance automation
✅ AI-native web and mobile apps built to scale (React, Next.js, React Native)
✅ Zero-downtime infrastructure on AWS, Azure, GCP with Kubernetes and Terraform
✅ Full compliance: HIPAA, SOC2, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, GDPR, OWASP
✅ Cloud cost reduction of up to 90% using AI-driven optimization
✅ MVPs shipped in weeks, not months - 3x faster time-to-market
Whether you need an intelligent product built from scratch or infrastructure that stops costing you sleep - let's talk. 🚀

Are your deployments slow, breaking at the worst moments, or costing more than they should? Is your team spending hours on manual releases instead of shipping features? If your CI/CD pipelines are fragile, your Azure infrastructure is growing out of control, or your DevOps processes exist only on paper, you are dealing with a problem that will not fix itself.
I am a DevOps Engineer and Azure Architect with 10+ years of experience helping product teams and growing companies build cloud infrastructure that actually works. Whether it is a startup scaling fast or an enterprise team drowning in legacy pipelines, I come in, assess the real state of things, and build systems that are stable, automated, and cost-efficient.
My primary expertise is Microsoft Azure and Azure DevOps, end to end. That means everything from designing multi-stage Azure DevOps pipelines and managing releases without downtime, to setting up Azure DevOps RBAC, securing environments, and integrating Azure DevOps with Kubernetes clusters running on AKS. I have built Azure DevOps workflows for teams of 5 and teams of 150, and the approach scales both ways. Every Azure DevOps implementation I deliver is built around real business goals, not just tooling checkboxes.
Beyond Azure DevOps, I work across the full infrastructure stack. I design Cloud Architecture using Terraform for Infrastructure as Code, manage containerized workloads with Kubernetes and Docker, and implement Deployment Automation that removes human error from the release process. For data-heavy projects, I build pipelines with Azure Data Factory to handle ETL, orchestration, and integration between services.
For teams building decentralized or blockchain-integrated solutions, I have worked with Azure Blockchain Service as part of broader Microsoft Azure infrastructure setups, combining it with the same security and governance standards applied across all environments.
As an Azure Architect, I cover Cloud Computing governance, cost optimization, and FinOps practices, so your Azure bill reflects actual usage, not waste. I apply the same structured thinking to Network Security, Linux and Windows Server environments, and multi-cloud setups when needed.
When projects require Amazon Web Services, I bring the same DevOps standards to AWS, including AWS DevOps pipelines, CI/CD automation, and infrastructure managed through Terraform. I also work with Google Cloud Platform for teams running workloads across multiple providers.
AI Automation is a growing part of what I do. As more teams start integrating AI into their products and workflows, I help them connect those AI components to production infrastructure properly, with reliable pipelines, automated testing, and deployment flows that treat AI workloads the same way as any other service.
I also collaborate closely with full stack developer teams to improve release processes, deployment reliability, and infrastructure scalability, making sure the gap between development and operations is as small as possible.
What clients usually need help with:
✔ Stabilizing Azure DevOps pipelines and deployment workflows
✔ Building scalable Kubernetes infrastructure
✔ Migrating legacy infrastructure to Microsoft Azure
✔ Reducing cloud costs and improving DevOps efficiency
✔ Designing secure Cloud Architecture for growing products
✔ Automating deployments with Terraform and CI/CD
✔ Improving monitoring, security, and infrastructure reliability
✔ Implementing AI Automation into existing delivery workflows
The full technology range I work with includes: Azure DevOps, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD, Git, SQL, Python, Linux, Windows Server, Azure Data Factory, Azure Blockchain Service, Cloud Architecture, Deployment Automation, Network Security, and more.
Certifications:
✅ 7x Microsoft Azure Certified
✅ Kubernetes Certified
✅ Terraform Certified
If your infrastructure needs structure, your pipelines need reliability, or your cloud costs are climbing without clear control, send me a message here on Upwork. Describe the situation and I will come back with a clear breakdown and concrete next steps.
