Most startups I work with run into the same issue. They have an AI model that does something useful, but it’s sitting on its own. It is not connected to their tools, not triggered by real events, and not feeding results back into their systems. It usually stays as a demo or a notebook project and never becomes part of daily work. That is where I usually step in. I connect the AI to the rest of the system so it actually works in a real setup. That means building the API connections, setting up automation flows, and linking the AI to the tools the business already uses like CRMs, internal dashboards, databases, or third party services. Most of my work is building AI agents that do real tasks, not just answer prompts. I also set up workflows in tools like n8n or Make to remove manual steps from operations. A lot of time is also spent connecting OpenAI or Claude into existing products or fixing integrations that are unstable or partially working. I use Python when custom logic is needed, and no code or low code tools when they make more sense. The goal is always the same, keep the system simple and stable so it actually runs in production. If something is already built but not working properly, I can usually find the issue quickly. If it is a new idea, I prefer to understand the setup first before jumping into building anything. You can message me with what you are trying to build and I will tell you if it is something I can help with. I can overlap with US or EU mornings without much issue.

I build and run Production Infrastructure on AWS, GCP, Azure and on-prem. Most of my work the last few years has been Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, AKS, and bare metal RKE2 with Rancher) and getting that infrastructure through compliance audits: HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI DSS, NIST 800-53. 10+ years in DevOps. Top Rated Plus, 100% Job Success. 𝙎𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙣 𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙖 𝙤𝙛 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙙𝙤: Built an on-prem RKE2 cluster from scratch for a company preparing for SOC 2 and HIPAA. Rancher for management, Cilium with WireGuard for encrypted pod traffic, GPU nodes for their ML workloads, Longhorn for storage, Velero for backups, ArgoCD for deployments. Also enforced SSO through Entra ID on every cluster and SSH access point because their auditors required it. Took a healthcare data platform through HIPAA hardening on AWS. ECS Fargate, Aurora PostgreSQL, private subnets, TLS everywhere, proper secrets handling. Phase one was making it work, phase two was making it pass an audit. Different skill sets, I do both. Modernized AWS infrastructure for a holding group running four brands. Moved everything to ECS Fargate and Aurora Multi-AZ, set up blue-green deployments, CloudFront in front. Midway through we found a security breach in their GitHub org and I handled the full remediation across every repo. Fixed a production Aurora MySQL performance problem that had their app timing out during peak hours. Root cause was tmp table spill to disk. Tuned it, added a reader, no downtime. I also do a lot of unglamorous work that keeps things running: CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD), Terraform for everything, monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana, cost cleanup, VPN and networking issues, database migrations. Industries I know well: Healthcare (HIPAA is second nature at this point), Fintech and Payments (PCI DSS), and B2B SaaS. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙢𝙚: Infrastructure that is written down in code, documented, and reproducible. I answer messages fast and I will tell you upfront if something is a bad idea or if I am not the right person for it. Send me your project details and current setup. I will give you an honest read on scope and effort before you spend anything.

Your cloud bill is not a fixed cost. It's an engineering problem - and I solve it. Most companies overpay AWS or GCP by 30-70%. The money is hiding in untagged resources, oversized nodes, idle NAT gateways, and architectures that were designed to work - not to scale economically. I find it, I fix it, and I deliver measurable ROI within the first 30 days. With $900K+ earned on Upwork, 100% Job Success Score, and 19+ years as a CTO and Cloud Architect, I bridge Engineering and Finance - translating infrastructure complexity into business impact your CFO can read. Typical Problems I Solve → AWS or GCP costs are too high and growing month over month → No visibility into what's driving cloud spend → Need a cloud infrastructure audit before scaling → AI workloads are expensive and unpredictable to run → Compliance requirements (SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA) creating engineering debt → Architecture needs redesign for cost-efficiency before next funding round Proven Client Results ▪️ Shoebacca (Large US E-commerce) → Challenge: AWS costs exceeded budget by 40%, with no tagging, no FinOps governance, and no cost visibility. → Solution: EKS rightsizing, NAT/ALB/EBS audit, serverless Lambda migration, full FinOps governance with cost allocation tags. → Business Impact: $264,000 annual savings - AWS costs cut by 75% in one week. ▪️ US Influence Platform → Challenge: Monthly AWS bill uncontrolled, infrastructure unaudited, site latency degrading. → Solution: Infrastructure audit + Terraform migration + reserved instance strategy. → Business Impact: Monthly AWS bill reduced by 50%. Site latency improved as a bonus. ▪️ ChilliSauce (UK Event Agency) → Challenge: AWS ECS/Fargate costs growing with no optimization strategy. → Solution: Continuous FinOps management, ECS rightsizing, Fargate cost controls. → Business Impact: 30% cost reduction maintained continuously. ▪️ Datos Health (Israeli HealthTech) → Challenge: No monitoring or alerting on GCP infrastructure - production issues discovered by users. → Solution: Monitoring and alerting built from scratch with Prometheus and Grafana on GCP. → Business Impact: Zero production blind spots. Engineering team now detects issues before users do. Core Delivery Areas → Forensic Cloud Cost Audits - identify immediate 20%+ savings before writing a single line of IaC → FinOps in CI/CD - cost guardrails embedded directly in your deployment pipeline, not managed by your finance team → AI workload cost optimization - GPU orchestration, vector database cost management, LLM infrastructure efficiency → Spot/Reserved Instance Strategy & Orchestration → Serverless architectural redesign (Lambda, ECS/Fargate) for cost-efficient scaling → DevSecOps: SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA compliance, Zero Trust architecture, IAM hardening Stack: AWS (EKS, Lambda, EC2, S3, RDS, CloudFront) · GCP · Terraform · Kubernetes · Docker · GitHub Actions · ArgoCD · Prometheus · Grafana · Datadog · Apache Kafka · PostgreSQL · AI workloads Available during US business hours (EST/PST overlap). Cloud cost optimization is the highest-ROI DevOps investment in 2026. Send an invite - I'll show you exactly where your cloud budget is leaking.
