Here’s a clean, Upwork-ready rewrite you can paste into your profile. I kept it human, specific, and keyword-rich for search—while showcasing your 14+ years across cloud, DevOps, and automation. ✅ Cloud Architect & DevOps Engineer | AWS • GCP • Azure | Kubernetes • Terraform • CI/CD • DevSecOps I help companies design, secure, and automate cloud platforms that scale—from zero to production and beyond. With 14+ years across cloud engineering, DevOps architecture, and infrastructure automation, I’ve built end-to-end systems that start from a blank account and evolve into resilient, compliant, cost-efficient production environments. I work hands-on across AWS, GCP, and Azure; design robust networking (VPC/VNet, peering, VPN, Direct Connect/Interconnect, Transit); and automate everything with Terraform/Pulumi and modern CI/CD. Security and observability are baked in from day one. What I do Greenfield to Production: Ground-up cloud architecture, IaC, GitOps, and day-2 operations. Secure by Design: Network segmentation, least-privilege IAM, secrets, policy as code, and DevSecOps pipelines. Kubernetes at Scale: EKS/GKE/AKS design, cluster add-ons, multi-cluster/multi-region, HPA/VPA, autoscaling. High Throughput Systems: Architecting for millions of requests/second with caching, queues, and horizontal scale. Cost & Reliability: Right-sizing, spot strategy, autoscaling, SLOs, and disaster recovery runbooks. Recent impact (high level) Designed multi-region Kubernetes + GitOps platform to support spiky workloads with safe blue/green rollouts. Implemented full DevSecOps pipeline (SAST/DAST/Secrets/Dependency scanning) with policy gates and audit trails. Delivered VPC/VNet designs with private service access, egress controls, and zero-trust access patterns.

Migrations: Lift-and-shift with refactoring for scale, reliability, and cost. Let’s talk If you need a secure, automated cloud foundation—or want to level up what you already have—send a message with your goals and timelines. I’ll propose a practical plan with clear milestones and outcomes.

DevOps and Kubernetes engineer, 14+ years keeping production infrastructure alive on AWS and Azure. CKA, CKS, AWS Solutions Architect, Azure AZ-104/AZ-500, Red Hat Certified Engineer, Terraform certified. When your cluster keeps falling over, a CI/CD pipeline takes an hour to ship, your cloud bill climbs with nobody able to explain why, or an AI feature that worked in a demo won't survive production - that's usually when someone calls me. PROBLEMS I SOLVE Your Kubernetes cluster has recurring failures - 503 errors, pod crashes, or unpredictable performance. I dig into what's actually running before I change anything, then fix the root cause. One team had been chasing an AKS API gateway issue for two weeks; I found it and fixed it in a day. Their words: "immediate and permanent solutions." Your CI/CD pipeline takes too long and nobody trusts it to ship safely. I set up Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps with GitOps so every change is reviewed and reversible. At one client I took build-to-deploy from 40 minutes to under 12 and moved releases from weekly to daily. Your cloud bill is climbing and nobody can explain why. I do FinOps the unglamorous way that works - rightsizing, reserved instances, spot and autoscaling, per-team attribution. I managed $2M+ in AWS spend and cut $600K a year; on a GPU-heavy Azure setup I knocked about 30% (~$48K/yr) off with spot pools, KEDA scale-to-zero, and OpenCost. You need AI integrated into your product and the demo won't survive real traffic. LLM deployment is an infrastructure problem, and infrastructure is what I do. I deploy self-hosted models with vLLM and Ollama on Kubernetes behind an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, build RAG pipelines with LangChain and Qdrant on your own infrastructure so your documents never leave, route between self-hosted and API models with a LiteLLM gateway, and wire in Langfuse so you can see every request and every token spent. Your team gets a service with monitoring and runbooks - not a notebook. You're migrating to AWS or Azure and need it done without downtime. I handle full cloud migrations with Terraform from line one, security baked in - SOC2 Type II passed first attempt, PCI-DSS automation on a Fortune 500 project. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT When we work together, I start by understanding your actual environment and what's really causing problems. I don't change things blind - I look at the live system first, then prioritize whatever's burning money or blocking releases. Most projects show improvements in cluster reliability, deployment speed, and cloud cost visibility. Typical outcomes: zero-downtime upgrades on production clusters running 100+ microservices behind 4M daily visitors at 99.95% uptime. CI/CD pipelines that your team trusts enough to ship daily instead of weekly. Cloud spend that gets attributed to teams and rightsized automatically. And on AI work, models that stay up under load with a GPU bill you can actually explain. MY BACKGROUND I started managing Linux servers and moved into Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure over the last 14+ years. I've led the team that stood up EKS for a 500K-user platform and run production clusters on EKS, AKS, and DOKS. RBAC done properly, Helm for everything, ArgoCD GitOps, HPA and VPA tuned to real traffic. For the past year I've been building LLM infrastructure on that same stack: my own RAG platform on Kubernetes (streaming retrieval API, Qdrant, LangChain, delivered through Argo CD and Terraform) and a GitOps-managed LLM platform on AKS with GPU cost controls. I use both as working references for client AI-integration work. I hold CKA, CKS (Kubernetes Security), AWS Solutions Architect, Azure AZ-104 and AZ-500, Red Hat Certified Engineer, and Terraform certifications (CKA/CKS/Terraform held 2020-2023, renewing this year). More importantly, I've applied them to real problems - from Fortune 500 migrations to production LLM serving. RECENT WORK On the FinOps side, I managed $2M+ in AWS spend and cut $600K annually through rightsizing, reserved instances, and spot usage. For a GPU-heavy Azure setup, I designed spot pools with KEDA scale-to-zero and OpenCost dashboards, cutting costs by about 30% (~$48K/yr). For a CI/CD overhaul, I took a client's build-to-deploy from 40 minutes to under 12 minutes and moved them from weekly to daily releases with GitOps and full audit trail. On the AI side, I've built LLM serving with vLLM and Ollama on Kubernetes, RAG pipelines with LangChain and Qdrant with RAGAS quality gates, and full request tracing via Langfuse. NEXT STEPS If you're dealing with Kubernetes instability, slow CI/CD, unexplained cloud costs, or an AI feature that needs to become a production service, describe your situation in a message. I'll tell you straight whether I can help and what the realistic approach would be. I respond within a few hours and overlap US East mornings and EU afternoons.
