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.

You've got an application that needs to be faster, smarter, or built from scratch. That's where I come in. I have 15 years of experience shipping production systems on the Microsoft stack. I focus on real platforms, not just proof-of-concepts. I work with multi-tenant SaaS and microservices on Azure, creating integrations that can handle large-scale operations. Right now, I’m especially interested in making existing business apps smarter with AI. I connect the OpenAI and Claude APIs directly to .NET backends. For example, I built an automated compliance document review system that replaced a manual step on a renters insurance SaaS platform. I also use Cursor, Claude Code, and Copilot in my workflow, which helps me work quickly. Clients hire me for: → .NET Core / .NET 8 backends and APIs → Azure services like Service Bus, Cosmos DB, App Services, and cost optimization → Adding AI and LLM features to existing SaaS and enterprise platforms → React frontends connected to .NET APIs → Rescuing projects that have gone off track I will let you know early if something isn’t going to work or if there’s a better approach. I prefer to have the tough conversation now rather than deliver something that doesn’t hold up later. Top Rated Plus · 11,000+ hours on Upwork

Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-305) and DevOps Engineer Expert (AZ-400). Top Rated Plus, 100% Job Success, 423 hours delivered, 5.0 on every rated contract. I architect the platform and I build it — same person, start to finish. Twelve years in regulated environments — financial services, healthcare and technology — where an outage or a failed audit costs more than the project that prevents it. ——————————————— WHY CLIENTS TRUST ME WITH PRODUCTION ▪ 287 hours on a single engagement, embedded in the client's team as their Azure DevOps and networking engineer. Nobody keeps a contractor that long unless the work holds up. ▪ Every rated contract on this profile closed at 5.0. One client: "extremely knowledgeable, efficient and professional". ▪ Two Microsoft Expert-level certifications, verifiable online, plus HashiCorp Terraform Associate and Red Hat Linux. ▪ ISO 27001, SOC 2 and GDPR programmes led to certification with zero non-conformities. ——————————————— WHAT I ARCHITECT AND BUILD ▪ Release pipelines teams ship through daily I architect the release path so shipping stops being an event, then build it. Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins or Harness — whichever you already run — with Argo CD for GitOps where Kubernetes is the target. Environments in Terraform, secrets pulled from Key Vault or HashiCorp Vault at run time, scanning gated before merge. Typically 80% fewer release errors, 45% faster delivery. ▪ FinOps: a cost model the business can explain I design the governance layer that makes spend visible and owned: rightsizing, tagging that survives contact with reality, reserved capacity and committed use analysis, automated policy that keeps the savings after handover. Typically 25-35% off spend, no performance trade-off. ▪ Production Kubernetes that holds under load AKS or GKE designed and built with autoscaling, network policy and sane resource limits, behind observability that means something. Prometheus, Grafana, Azure Monitor, real SLOs, alerts engineered to be signal not noise, and runbooks a junior engineer can follow. ▪ An identity and compliance layer that passes audit Identity and access architected from the ground up: Entra ID, Conditional Access, Zero Trust, MFA, privileged access, CIS-hardened baselines, and documentation built to withstand scrutiny. ▪ Migrations that do not cost you a weekend AWS to Azure, on-premises to cloud, and Microsoft Azure tenant-to-tenant. Dependency mapping first, wave plan second, rehearsed cutover third, rollback written before anyone touches production. ▪ Multi-cloud from hands-on experience, not theory I have designed and run production workloads on Azure, AWS and Google Cloud myself. So placement gets argued on cost and capability instead of preference, identity is federated across Entra ID, AWS IAM and Cloud IAM, Terraform modules target more than one provider, and multi-region failover is designed rather than hoped for. I will also tell you when one cloud is the right answer. ——————————————— THE PLATFORM UNDER ALL OF IT Azure and Google Cloud landing zones, hub-and-spoke networking, Shared VPC and Cloud IAM, hybrid and multi-tenant design, governance built in from day one. 30+ reusable Terraform modules in production across client environments, cutting provisioning 60%. Also Azure OpenAI workloads with private networking and cost controls, and Microsoft 365 and Intune estates. ——————————————— HOW ENGAGEMENTS RUN 1. A 30-minute call where I ask the questions and you do most of the talking. 2. A written plan: what changes, in what order, what it costs, what could go wrong. 3. Delivery in reviewable increments, with updates you can read in thirty seconds. 4. Diagrams, documentation, runbooks and a proper handover session. You keep everything. Terraform in your repository, runbooks in your wiki, no proprietary glue and no dependency on me afterwards. If your team can't run it without me, I haven't finished. ——————————————— GOOD FIT IF you run production on Azure, AWS or Google Cloud, you have a compliance or audit deadline coming, you are migrating between clouds, or your cloud spend has outgrown your control. PROBABLY NOT IF you need a quick script, a one-off fix with no context, or the cheapest hourly rate on the platform. STACK Azure · AWS · Google Cloud · Terraform · Bicep · Kubernetes (AKS, GKE, OpenShift) · Docker · Helm · Argo CD · Azure DevOps · GitHub Actions · GitLab CI · Jenkins · Harness · Prometheus · Grafana · Loki · Entra ID · Key Vault · HashiCorp Vault · Linux ——————————————— 📩 Tell me what's slow, fragile, expensive or unmonitored in your stack. I'll reply with how I'd approach it, what it would take, and what I'd do first.
