Certified AWS Solutions Architect and AWS DevOps Engineer with 17 years of experience in software delivery and cloud infrastructure. With 850+ hours on Upwork and 30+ successful cloud projects, I operate as both a hands-on AWS DevOps engineer and a strategic AWS architect who designs and implements reliable, scalable platforms on Amazon Web Services.
What I do as an AWS DevOps engineer and AWS architect
My journey began as a full stack developer working with Ruby on Rails, Python, Node.js, and Java. Over time it evolved into deep specialization in AWS DevOps automation, container platforms, and cloud architecture. Today, as a certified AWS architect and AWS DevOps professional, I bridge the gap between development and infrastructure - delivering platforms that are automated, observable, and built to scale. The perspective of an AWS architect who also executes as an AWS DevOps engineer is rare - and it is what clients come to me for.
As an AWS architect, I design secure, highly available systems on Amazon Web Services using EC2, S3, Lambda, CloudFront, and Amazon ECS. My AWS DevOps approach ensures that every AWS architect decision is backed by automation, CI/CD pipelines, and operational excellence across Kubernetes clusters. The role of an AWS architect is not just to draw diagrams - it is to own the outcome from design through deployment. Every AWS architect engagement I take on starts with understanding the business constraints before touching a single resource. A senior AWS architect has to think in failure modes — not just happy paths. That mindset is what makes an AWS architect valuable beyond the initial design phase.
AWS DevOps methodology and automation
Automation is at the core of every AWS DevOps engagement I take on. I implement infrastructure as code using Terraform and AWS CloudFormation, and build CI/CD pipelines with Git, Jenkins, and Azure DevOps. As an AWS DevOps engineer, I apply DevSecOps principles including secrets management, IAM least-privilege policies, VPC network segmentation, and audit logging - supporting compliance requirements such as SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. I integrate monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana, and design fault-tolerant Kubernetes workloads. Every AWS DevOps pipeline I build is designed for repeatability, auditability, and zero-downtime deployments.
Security, reliability, and scalability are embedded in every AWS DevOps project. Whether I am working as an AWS architect designing multi-account AWS organizations or as an AWS DevOps engineer optimizing container workloads, the standard remains the same: systems must be maintainable, observable, and resilient. That is the AWS DevOps discipline I bring to every engagement and the reason clients come back.
My technical stack as an AWS architect and AWS DevOps engineer
As a certified AWS architect, my core stack includes Amazon Web Services, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, CI/CD, Git, and Jenkins. My AWS DevOps toolchain extends to Azure DevOps, Prometheus, Grafana, and Python scripting. With a background as a full stack developer, I bring application-layer awareness into every AWS architect decision - understanding how services behave under load, not just how they are provisioned. That is the difference between an AWS architect who designs in theory and a battle-tested AWS architect who has run systems in production.
What separates my AWS DevOps practice from a standard infrastructure role is the combination of depth and range. I work as an AWS architect who can design the system and as an AWS DevOps engineer who can implement it. That dual capability - AWS architect on one side, AWS DevOps engineer on the other - means fewer handoff gaps, faster delivery, and better outcomes for every project. Finding the right AWS architect for a complex platform matters as much as finding the right engineer to run it.
Why clients hire me as an AWS architect and AWS DevOps engineer
Clients partner with me when they need an AWS architect who can translate business requirements into cloud infrastructure, or an AWS DevOps engineer who can automate and operationalize that infrastructure end to end. My 17 years of experience as an AWS DevOps practitioner, AWS architect, and hands-on AWS architect means I have seen what breaks platforms at scale - and how to prevent it.
Whether you need AWS DevOps automation, Kubernetes infrastructure, Terraform-based IaC, or a senior AWS architect to design your next cloud platform, I would be glad to help build and scale it the right way. Let's connect.

Led engineering for a platform serving over **2 million users**, working on AWS microservices, DRM-protected video streaming, personalized learning systems, and large-scale backend architecture.
• Enciser
Co-founded an IoT and energy management platform where I designed a serverless AWS architecture for real-time device monitoring, mobile applications (iOS & Android), and cloud-based automation.
• Enterprise Platforms
Built backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and distributed applications for companies including Zucora, TruckBook, Emerald Planet, and Kryptet, using Go, Python, Kubernetes, Docker, Redis, Cassandra, and modern cloud-native architecture.
Across my career, I've helped design and deploy 50+ production applications across SaaS, AI, IoT, marketplaces, fintech, and enterprise platforms.

What it's like working with me
I don't just write code,I help clients make good technical decisions.I'm comfortable joining an existing codebase, understanding how it works, identifying bottlenecks, and delivering features that are easy to maintain as the product grows.
I believe in clean architecture, clear communication, proper documentation, and shipping reliable software instead of quick fixes.
I've worked with distributed teams across Canada, Australia, Sweden, and India, and I'm equally comfortable working independently or collaborating closely with founders and engineering teams.
If you're building a product that needs to scale, I'd be happy to discuss how I can help.

I'm a DevOps Engineer, full-stack developer, and cybersecurity analyst with over 6 years of hands-on experience building, securing, and operating production systems end-to-end. I work across the full lifecycle , from infrastructure provisioning and CI/CD pipelines to backend services, frontend interfaces, and security audits so a single engagement can cover what would otherwise need three specialists.
My core stack spans three domains:
DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure - Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and Ansible; CI/CD pipeline engineering on GitLab CI (also Azure DevOps); secrets management and PKI with HashiCorp Vault; full LGTM observability stack (Grafana, Loki, Tempo, Mimir, Prometheus) with OpenTelemetry instrumentation; container deployment with Docker and Podman; hybrid cloud + on-prem operations across Proxmox and Azure; zone-segmented networking with deny-by-default firewall, WireGuard, Tailscale, and Cloudflare edge.
Full-Stack Development - React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, and C++; modern UI work with Tailwind, GSAP, and Radix/shadcn; REST and GraphQL APIs; databases including PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, MySQL, and Redis.
Cybersecurity - penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, and security audits using Kali Linux, Metasploit, and Burp Suite. Security-first mindset applied across every layer of the work — from VLAN design to application code.
What sets me apart is the range: I can take an idea from architecture and Terraform modules through to a hardened, monitored, deployable production system — without handing off to a different specialist at each layer.
Available for:
- DevOps & SRE engagements - Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD pipeline design, observability rollouts, secrets/PKI implementation
- Cloud migration and hybrid cloud architecture (Azure + on-prem, container platforms)
- Full-stack web application development (React / Next.js + Node.js / TypeScript)
- Cybersecurity assessments and penetration testing
- Database design, optimization, and management
- System administration and IT support
- Mobile application development
- AI/ML integration projects
