Hi. I’m an AWS Solutions Architect and Developer with about 10 years (nearly 30,000 hours) of experience helping startups and small teams build enterprise-grade systems on AWS without needing a large cloud team, getting vendor locked-in, or dealing with AWS headaches and complexities. I can help your team architect, design, and implement highly evolvable and iterable solutions, including platforms, infrastructure foundations, CI/CD and DevOps pipelines, MVP builds, microservices, serverless systems, data and analytics pipelines, and account and security automation.

Building a great product is one thing. Making it stable, scalable, and deployment-ready is where I come in. Hi there, I'm Ajay, a DevOps Engineer with 6+ years of experience helping startups and growing businesses manage cloud infrastructure, automate deployments, and build reliable systems for AI and SaaS platforms. From secure cloud environments to full CI/CD pipelines, AIOps monitoring, MLOps workflows, and DevSecOps practices, I focus on building systems that reduce manual work, improve reliability, and scale smoothly as products grow.

Your AWS infrastructure should deploy in minutes, survive traffic spikes, and never wake you at 3 AM. I build and fix the systems that make that true. I'm a senior DevOps engineer (AWS Certified Solutions Architect + RHCSA, Top Rated with a 100% Job Success Score) who designs, automates, and hardens production cloud infrastructure for SaaS teams and startups. I take messy or fragile setups and turn them into infrastructure your team can deploy confidently and your finance team can budget. 🚀 What I do best: ▸ AWS infrastructure & serverless architecture: VPC, EKS/ECS, Lambda, API Gateway, RDS/Aurora, fully codified in Terraform or CloudFormation so everything is reproducible and rollback-safe. (Recently architected a 5-service serverless platform on AWS with zero-downtime deploys and full IaC.) ▸ Kubernetes that doesn't fight you: EKS design, autoscaling, zero-downtime rollouts, and the observability to catch problems before users do. ▸ CI/CD that ships in minutes: GitHub Actions / GitLab / Jenkins pipelines with testing, scanning, and automatic rollback. ▸ AWS cost optimization (FinOps): I find the waste in your bill and cut it without touching reliability. ▸ DevSecOps & hardening: IAM least-privilege, secrets management, VAPT remediation, infrastructure that passes a security review. 🤝 How I work: like a senior engineer on your team, not a ticket-taker. I tell you what's actually wrong, what it'll cost, and what I'd do if it were my money, then I document it so your team is never left in the dark. If your infrastructure is slowing you down, send me your current setup or the problem you're hitting and I'll tell you what's wrong before you charge anything.

I am a Senior Solution Architect and Cloud Engineer with 10+ years of experience designing, modernizing, and scaling enterprise-grade SaaS, subscription, and payment platforms. I specialize in building secure, highly available, cloud-native systems that handle millions of transactions, complex integrations, and strict compliance requirements. My background spans telecom, media, digital services, and payment platforms, where I’ve led architecture and delivery for systems processing 10M+ transactions annually, supporting subscription lifecycles, digital payments, carrier billing, and multi-region deployments. I work comfortably with both technical and business stakeholders, translating product requirements into scalable, production-ready architectures. What I Do Best - Design end-to-end cloud architectures (AWS / Azure) for SaaS and enterprise platforms - Build and modernize subscription, billing, and payment systems (cards, wallets, carrier billing, vouchers) - Architect microservices and event-driven systems with high availability and fault tolerance - Lead platform migrations from third-party vendors to in-house, cloud-native solutions - Optimize cloud costs, performance, and reliability without compromising scalability - Implement PCI-DSS–compliant security architectures, API security, IAM, and encryption - Deliver clear technical documentation, diagrams, and operational runbooks for long-term maintainability Enterprise & SaaS Experience At OSN (Dubai), I served as Solution Architect for an in-house Subscription & Payment Platform (SDP) powering SVOD services. I designed a microservices-based, highly available architecture, integrated multiple regional and global payment methods, and led security and compliance initiatives resulting in 100% PCI-DSS audit compliance. My work reduced cloud infrastructure costs by 45–50%, improved transaction success rates by 18%, and cut involuntary churn by 22% through intelligent retry and recovery mechanisms. I’ve also delivered serverless and cloud-native solutions using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, SQS, ECS, and EventBridge, led data migrations, integrated third-party systems, and stabilized production platforms under real-world load. Earlier in my career, I worked on IoT and healthcare-related systems, enterprise software products, and cloud migrations, giving me a strong foundation in distributed systems, performance optimization, and secure data handling. How I Work - I bring a solution-architect mindset rather than just writing code. I focus on: - Clean, scalable system design - Security and compliance from day one - Cost awareness and operational efficiency - Clear communication and documentation - Building systems that are easy to operate, extend, and audit I’m equally comfortable designing architecture from scratch, reviewing and fixing existing systems, or acting as a technical lead/advisor for founders and engineering teams.

Is your AWS bill going up faster than your business? Is your infrastructure not secure, scalable, and resilient enough to support your growth? Is a HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or SOC 2 audit coming up, and you are not sure your AWS will pass? Unsure about taking the first step into the cloud? If yes, you are at the right place. WHO I AM I am Vikas. I have 8 years on AWS and 26 years in IT. AWS Solutions Architect Professional and Terraform Associate certified. I work with SaaS companies in healthcare, fintech, and general B2B. I design, build and run their AWS infrastructure. AWS architecture and DevOps are my core skills and I specialize in HIPAA, SOC2 and PCI-DSS work for the clients. I work AI-augmented — using modern tools (Claude, Kiro) to move faster on implementation while keeping every architectural decision under my own judgment. WHAT I HAVE BUILT AND RUN ★ Full AWS setup for an Australian IT services company — 5-year retained client. Built on Terraform. EC2, RDS, SQS, SNS, Lambda, API Gateway, WAF. Now extending into Amazon Connect. ★ Another continuing 1.5-year engagement with a Singapore client — built an active-active 3-tier SaaS on AWS. Multi-region setup with cost-aware design. Currently in retainership. ★ HIPAA-compliant AWS for a Canadian healthcare SaaS — built end-to-end on Terraform. Networking, IAM, KMS encryption, Multi-AZ Aurora, VPC endpoints, encrypted S3, CloudTrail with KMS. Also guided them through the AWS Business Associate Addendum (BAA). The client wrote: "Valuable recommendations regarding HIPAA compliance and system security. We are already planning to work with him on the next stage of our project." ★ PCI-DSS AWS remediation for a financial services AWS Organization — fixed infrastructure gaps across multiple accounts. Scrut compliance score for AWS moved from 42% to 81% in three weeks. Provided necessary evidences for compliance. ★ Java application containerization for an enterprise client — moved their applications to ECS. Architecture design plus Terraform deployment. WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU → Build new AWS environments from scratch (VPC, ECS, EC2, RDS, S3, IAM, monitoring) → DevOps and CI/CD (GitHub Actions, CodePipeline, Docker, Terraform, CloudFormation) → HIPAA, SOC2 and PCI-DSS infrastructure work — I build the AWS side. I am not a QSA and I do not write policies. That is a separate job → Compliance remediation using Scrut, Vanta, or Drata → Cost reduction (right-sizing, savings plans, storage tiers, better architecture decisions) → Long-term retained work — I can be your senior architect for months and years, not just one project HOW I WORK → Clear communication from day one. Written scope. Weekly updates. Quick replies. → Clean handover documentation at the end of every project. → I take only a few projects at a time. You work with me directly, not with juniors. → I tell you what is risky before we start, not after. WHEN I AM A GOOD FIT ✓ Startups or growing SaaS that need a senior AWS architect or DevOps engineer ✓ Teams that want a long-term architect, not a one-time contractor ✓ Healthcare, fintech, or payment SaaS with HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or SOC 2 needs ✓ Teams fixing an AWS setup that has to pass an audit ✓ Founders who want an honest opinion, not a sales pitch WHEN I AM NOT A GOOD FIT ✗ Full PCI-DSS audit work — that is a QSA's job ✗ HIPAA policy writing or compliance officer work ✗ Lowest-price hourly work CREDENTIALS → AWS Solutions Architect — Professional → HashiCorp Terraform Associate → Top Rated on Upwork, 100% Job Success Score → Published author on AWS in Plain English and AWS Tip TECH STACK AWS (EC2, ECS, Fargate, Lambda, RDS, Aurora, S3, VPC, IAM, KMS, CloudTrail, CloudFormation, Organizations, SSM, Secrets Manager, API Gateway, WAF, CloudFront, Amazon Connect, SQS, SNS), Terraform, CloudFormation, Docker, GitHub Actions, CodePipeline, Linux, Python, Bash, Scrut, Vanta, Drata.
