I help founders and businesses turn MVPs, AI-assisted applications, and SaaS products into secure, scalable, production-ready systems. I have experience across full-stack development, cloud architecture, DevOps, infrastructure, API integration, and production operations. My focus is not just writing code but making applications reliable enough for real users: clean deployment, secure configuration, database setup, monitoring, backups, CI/CD and long-term maintainability. I can help with: - SaaS and AI application production deployment - AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and DigitalOcean infrastructure - Kubernetes, Docker, and containerized deployments - GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, and automated release workflows - Supabase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and database administration - API integrations, OAuth, webhooks, and token handling - Cloudflare, DNS, SSL, domains, and edge protection - Backups, logging, monitoring, and production hardening - Architecture review, refactoring, scalability, and cost optimisation My approach is practical and production-focused: understand the current system, identify the real risks, simplify where needed and build a cloud setup that is secure, maintainable and cost-effective. I am a good fit if you have a working MVP or SaaS application and need an experienced cloud/full-stack engineer to make it production-ready and scalable.

Struggling with unreliable infrastructure, VMware licensing costs, or a stalled cloud migration? I'm a DevOps & Cloud Engineer who builds and stabilizes production environments across AWS, Azure, Proxmox, and Ceph — with a focus on uptime and automation. Most DevOps engineers specialize in either cloud or on-prem infrastructure. I do both: I've run production Proxmox VE clusters with Ceph storage alongside AWS, Azure, and GCP deployments, and I handle VMware-to-Proxmox migrations end-to-end — a combination few freelancers on Upwork cover with hands-on production experience. Here's how I typically help clients: ✔ Design and deploy cloud infrastructure on AWS, Azure, or GCP ✔ Build and troubleshoot Proxmox clusters, including VMware-to-Proxmox migrations ✔ Optimize and recover Ceph storage clusters ✔ Set up Docker and Kubernetes environments with CI/CD pipelines ✔ Implement monitoring with Zabbix and Grafana ✔ Plan and test backup and disaster recovery strategies ✔ Secure infrastructure with VPNs, firewalls, and Zero Trust practices Top Rated Plus on Upwork with a 4.98 rating across 51 completed jobs and over 2,870 hours worked. AWS Cloud Practitioner Essentials certified. Clients include startups, MSPs, SaaS companies, and enterprise teams relying on me for production-grade infrastructure.
