Every hour of downtime costs your enterprise an average of $540,000. That's not a DevOps metric - that's a board-level problem. I design and operate infrastructure that stays up. My specialty is the full observability and reliability stack: detecting failures before users do, recovering in minutes, not hours, and building the self-healing systems that let your engineering team sleep at night. With $400K+ earned on Upwork, 100% Job Success Score, and 10+ years in DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering, I bring the broadest monitoring stack you'll find in one engineer: Prometheus · Grafana · Datadog · ELK Stack · Zabbix · Sumo Logic - combined with deep Kubernetes and cloud expertise. Typical Problems I Solve → Production incidents are frequent, and MTTR is too high → No observability - issues discovered by users, not monitoring → Need DevOps engineer for high availability infrastructure setup → Kubernetes clusters experiencing performance or reliability issues → Disaster recovery plan missing or untested → AI workloads need reliable, observable infrastructure Proven Client Results ▪️ iLost Platform (Netherlands) → Challenge: EKS performance degrading, CI/CD unstable across Dev/Staging/Production, and OpenSearch causing timeouts. → Solution: EKS rightsizing, CI/CD pipeline optimization, IAM hardening, OpenSearch performance tuning. → Business Impact: Reduced bottlenecks, improved release predictability, and optimized infrastructure costs. ▪️ Qopla Infrastructure → Challenge: Long-term SRE engagement - ongoing reliability, monitoring, and performance needs. → Solution: Continuous SRE operations, incident management, and infrastructure optimization. → Business Impact: 657-hour engagement demonstrating sustained impact. Rate progressed $40/hr → $52/hr based on results. ▪️ GetChecked (Blockchain / Multi-cloud) → Challenge: Multi-cloud infrastructure (AWS + DigitalOcean + bare-metal) with Hyperledger Fabric in a regulated environment. → Solution: Upgraded Hyperledger Fabric, implemented monitoring, backup, DR/BCP, optimized CI/CD pipelines. → Business Impact: Increased system reliability and security in a strict regulatory context. Core SRE Capabilities → DORA metrics: Deployment Frequency, Lead Time, MTTR, Change Failure Rate - measured and improved → Incident Management & On-Call: Runbooks, escalation paths, post-mortems → Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity planning and testing → Zero Trust Security: IAM, RBAC, SELinux, network hardening → High Availability: Multi-AZ, failover, load balancing, autoscaling → AI workload reliability: observability for ML pipelines and LLM infrastructure Stack: AWS · GCP · Kubernetes · Terraform · Ansible · Prometheus · Grafana · ELK Stack · Datadog · Zabbix · Docker · Linux · GitHub Actions · GitLab CI · Incident Response Plan · Disaster Recovery Available during US business hours (EST/PST overlap). Downtime is a solved problem - if you have the right observability. Send an invite and let's audit your reliability posture.

For seven+ years I have owned critical modules of a distributed platform serving millions of physical devices across four transport protocols, HTTP, SMTP, XMPP, and file transport, for a Japanese enterprise client. I write the ingestion, processing, and automated-decisioning layers. The system cannot be rolled back. Mistakes have physical cost. Outside that engagement I have delivered: production AI and vector search in C#, a commercial encrypted email security platform across .NET 8 API, Office.js Outlook add-in, and Gmail extension, a GIS-backed enterprise infrastructure platform across 14 service modules over 12 months; and VSTO Office Add-In work across Excel, Word, PowerPoint and Outlook spanning five years. My work is in the systems other engineers are afraid to touch, legacy estates that must keep running while they evolve, distributed architectures under real load, and AI integrated into environments where hallucination is a liability. I take ownership. I do not participate.
