I harden and scale RHEL/Ubuntu fleets with Ansible and build Proxmox & K8s clusters. I fix incidents fast then automate the fix so it doesn’t return. 12+ years in Linux/DevOps and security. I design, migrate, and stabilize critical systems for SMBs and enterprises (cloud and on-prem). I turn vague problems into a crisp plan, then ship working infrastructure with docs and handoff. Core work I do - RHEL 7/8/9 hardening (CIS-aligned) with reusable Ansible roles - Proxmox installs, VM templates, Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) backups, networking/VLANs - Kubernetes/MicroK8s setup, ingress, TLS, GitOps-friendly layouts - Monitoring: Prometheus + Alertmanager + Grafana dashboards/alerts - Red Hat toolchain: Satellite (content mgmt/patching), Ansible Automation Platform/Tower (RBAC, job templates), OpenShift install/admin, Red Hat IdM/FreeIPA - Automation & CI/CD: IaC (Terraform), pipelines, secret handling - Migrations: lift-and-shift to new hosts/clouds, zero/minimal downtime

Are your deployments slow, breaking at the worst moments, or costing more than they should? Is your team spending hours on manual releases instead of shipping features? If your CI/CD pipelines are fragile, your Azure infrastructure is growing out of control, or your DevOps processes exist only on paper, you are dealing with a problem that will not fix itself. I am a DevOps Engineer and Azure Architect with 10+ years of experience helping product teams and growing companies build cloud infrastructure that actually works. Whether it is a startup scaling fast or an enterprise team drowning in legacy pipelines, I come in, assess the real state of things, and build systems that are stable, automated, and cost-efficient. My primary expertise is Microsoft Azure and Azure DevOps, end to end. That means everything from designing multi-stage Azure DevOps pipelines and managing releases without downtime, to setting up Azure DevOps RBAC, securing environments, and integrating Azure DevOps with Kubernetes clusters running on AKS. I have built Azure DevOps workflows for teams of 5 and teams of 150, and the approach scales both ways. Every Azure DevOps implementation I deliver is built around real business goals, not just tooling checkboxes. Beyond Azure DevOps, I work across the full infrastructure stack. I design Cloud Architecture using Terraform for Infrastructure as Code, manage containerized workloads with Kubernetes and Docker, and implement Deployment Automation that removes human error from the release process. For data-heavy projects, I build pipelines with Azure Data Factory to handle ETL, orchestration, and integration between services. For teams building decentralized or blockchain-integrated solutions, I have worked with Azure Blockchain Service as part of broader Microsoft Azure infrastructure setups, combining it with the same security and governance standards applied across all environments. As an Azure Architect, I cover Cloud Computing governance, cost optimization, and FinOps practices, so your Azure bill reflects actual usage, not waste. I apply the same structured thinking to Network Security, Linux and Windows Server environments, and multi-cloud setups when needed. When projects require Amazon Web Services, I bring the same DevOps standards to AWS, including AWS DevOps pipelines, CI/CD automation, and infrastructure managed through Terraform. I also work with Google Cloud Platform for teams running workloads across multiple providers. AI Automation is a growing part of what I do. As more teams start integrating AI into their products and workflows, I help them connect those AI components to production infrastructure properly, with reliable pipelines, automated testing, and deployment flows that treat AI workloads the same way as any other service. I also collaborate closely with full stack developer teams to improve release processes, deployment reliability, and infrastructure scalability, making sure the gap between development and operations is as small as possible. What clients usually need help with: ✔ Stabilizing Azure DevOps pipelines and deployment workflows ✔ Building scalable Kubernetes infrastructure ✔ Migrating legacy infrastructure to Microsoft Azure ✔ Reducing cloud costs and improving DevOps efficiency ✔ Designing secure Cloud Architecture for growing products ✔ Automating deployments with Terraform and CI/CD ✔ Improving monitoring, security, and infrastructure reliability ✔ Implementing AI Automation into existing delivery workflows The full technology range I work with includes: Azure DevOps, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD, Git, SQL, Python, Linux, Windows Server, Azure Data Factory, Azure Blockchain Service, Cloud Architecture, Deployment Automation, Network Security, and more. Certifications: ✅ 7x Microsoft Azure Certified ✅ Kubernetes Certified ✅ Terraform Certified If your infrastructure needs structure, your pipelines need reliability, or your cloud costs are climbing without clear control, send me a message here on Upwork. Describe the situation and I will come back with a clear breakdown and concrete next steps.

As an AWS-certified DevOps and cloud security engineer, I help startups, fintech companies, and AI/ML platforms build secure, compliant, production-grade AWS infrastructure — including the AI infrastructure layer most DevOps engineers haven't touched yet: LLM inference endpoints, RAG pipelines, and GPU-backed compute. With certifications in AWS DevOps Engineer – Professional, AWS Security – Specialty, AWS CloudOps Engineer – Associate, and AWS Solutions Architect – Professional (in progress), your infrastructure is in capable, currently-certified hands. WHAT I DO BEST AI/ML Infrastructure on AWS I deploy fine-tuned LLM inference endpoints across GPU instance families, build RAG knowledge bases using Amazon Bedrock and pgvector, and stand up Feature Stores for ML pipelines — all on Terraform, all production-grade. If your platform runs AI workloads, I build the infrastructure underneath the model. Enterprise Cloud Foundation & Governance I establish AWS cloud foundations using Control Tower and Landing Zone with automated multi-account environments and security guardrails — Security Hub, GuardDuty, AWS Config, CloudTrail, and SCPs. This significantly eases SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA audit preparation through automated compliance evidence. Security-First Infrastructure VPC isolation, least-privilege IAM, secrets management, and encryption everywhere. A recent project passed a SOC 2 audit with zero infrastructure findings, built in from day one. Cloud Migrations & Containerization I migrate applications from on-premises and legacy clouds (GCP, Azure) to AWS with zero downtime — deploying to ECS/Fargate, EKS, or traditional EC2, with a focus on cost efficiency and security. Infrastructure as Code Everything is Terraform-based, version-controlled, and reproducible — multi-account Control Tower setups, VPC architectures, IAM policies, all defined as code with peer review. CI/CD & Production Reliability Deployment pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, AWS CodePipeline) that cut deployment time from hours to minutes, with automated testing and rollback. Designed for 99.99% uptime through Multi-AZ deployments and auto-scaling. RECENT RESULTS - Architected GCP-to-AWS migration for an AI/ML fintech platform — 5 fine-tuned LLM inference endpoints across GPU instance families, RAG knowledge base on pgvector, full Terraform IaC - Deployed a containerized Spring Boot app on ECS Fargate with Control Tower multi-account setup, Security Hub, GuardDuty, Config, and CloudTrail across dev/staging/prod - Migrated a payment platform to AWS — 99.99% uptime, handled 10x traffic spikes, 40% cost reduction - Delivered enterprise Landing Zone migration framework for 85 applications, 450 VMs, 55 databases - Automated deployments from 2 hours to 15 minutes with improved security posture TECH STACK AWS AI/ML: Amazon Bedrock, Amazon SageMaker, RAG pipelines, pgvector, Feature Store, GPU instances AWS Governance & Security: Control Tower, Organizations, Security Hub, GuardDuty, Config, CloudTrail, IAM, Secrets Manager, KMS, WAF AWS Infrastructure: ECS/Fargate, EC2, Lambda, RDS, DynamoDB, S3, VPC, CloudFront, ALB/NLB, Auto Scaling Containers & Orchestration: Docker, ECS/Fargate, Kubernetes/EKS, ECR Infrastructure as Code: Terraform (5+ years), CloudFormation, AWS CDK CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline/CodeBuild/CodeDeploy Databases: RDS (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server), DynamoDB, MongoDB/DocumentDB Monitoring: CloudWatch, CloudTrail, VPC Flow Logs, Security Hub, Config Scripting: Python, Bash, Shell WHO I WORK WITH - AI/ML platforms needing production-grade inference and RAG infrastructure - Startups preparing for SOC 2 certification - Fintech companies needing secure infrastructure for financial data - Healthcare/SaaS companies requiring HIPAA-ready environments - Companies migrating from on-premises, GCP, or Azure to AWS - Enterprises needing multi-account AWS governance WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT Most DevOps engineers deploy applications. I build enterprise security foundations — and the AI infrastructure layer most of them haven't touched yet. You get: ✓ AI/ML infrastructure built by someone who understands both the model and the cloud underneath it ✓ Security and compliance built in from day one ✓ Automated audit evidence collection ✓ Multi-account governance preventing drift ✓ Clear documentation and knowledge transfer Looking for secure, audit-ready AWS infrastructure — or AI/ML platform infrastructure that actually scales?
