Hey, I'm Serge — a DevOps engineer and Linux sysadmin with 16 years of hands-on experience. Top Rated Plus on Upwork, $70K+ earned, 100% Job Success Score across 24 contracts. My day-to-day involves leading DevOps work for US and Israeli companies — finance, government, tech. Through my employer, the rate is around $100–120/hr — that includes company overhead, account managers, and the usual agency markup. Here on Upwork you hire me directly. No middlemen, no account managers. That's why the rate is lower — not because the work is different. What I focus on most: **Kubernetes and container infrastructure** I've set up and migrated dozens of projects to Kubernetes — EKS, GKE, AKS, and on-prem. I handle the full stack: Helm-based deployments, Grafana + Loki for monitoring and logging, Terraform for infra as code. If your app is still running on Docker Compose and you're hitting limits, this is exactly what I do. **CI/CD pipelines** Setting up proper pipelines from scratch — GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Helm. Dev/stage/prod environments with proper Git flow so your developers aren't blocking each other. **Cloud infrastructure — AWS, GCP, Azure** Terraform for everything that can be described as code. Multi-environment setups, VPC, networking, RDS, S3, load balancers, security groups. Migrations between accounts, between clouds, and from on-prem to cloud. **AI infrastructure** More recently I've been setting up GPU-based AI infrastructure — Ollama, vLLM, LiteLLM proxy. If you're deploying local LLMs or building AI-powered apps and need the infra side sorted, that's something I can help with too. **A few practical things:** - Up to 8 hours/day — I work focused, not just "clocked in" - You work directly with me throughout the project - I write documentation so your team can actually use what I build If you have a project in mind and want to talk through the scope first, I'm happy to do a short call. Just send a message. Serge ---

I run a DevOps agency helping SaaS companies and IT businesses scale faster by providing senior DevOps engineers who optimize cloud infrastructure, accelerate deployments, and ensure production stability at scale. Our DevOps team partners with engineering leaders who need reliable, secure, and cost-efficient cloud systems — without hiring and managing an in-house team. Our engineers specialize in designing, building, and maintaining secure and scalable cloud environments across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Whether you're starting from scratch or managing a complex multi-cloud setup, we architect AWS-native and cross-cloud solutions that are resilient and production-ready. → Cloud Infrastructure & Migration We handle end-to-end cloud infrastructure design and cloud migration projects — moving legacy systems to AWS, Azure, or GCP with zero disruption to your business. Our DevOps engineers assess your existing architecture, build a migration roadmap, and execute the migration while maintaining security, performance, and compliance throughout every phase. Whether it's a lift-and-shift to AWS or a full re-architecture on GCP, we own the migration end to end. → DevOps & CI/CD Automation We design and implement robust CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and ArgoCD — reducing release cycles from weeks to hours. Our GitOps-based CI/CD delivery model ensures consistent, auditable deployments with full automation of build, test, and deploy workflows, eliminating manual processes and human error across every cloud environment. Every DevOps engagement includes CI/CD as a foundation, not an afterthought. → Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Configuration Management We manage all cloud infrastructure through Terraform and Ansible, ensuring predictable, repeatable, and version-controlled IaC environments. Terraform modules are written to be reusable across AWS, Azure, and GCP — making Terraform the single source of truth for your infrastructure. IaC practices allow your team to scale confidently and roll back safely when needed, with Terraform state managed securely in remote backends. → Kubernetes & Container Orchestration Our DevOps engineers build and operate containerized systems using Docker and Kubernetes, supporting high-load, distributed applications. From Kubernetes cluster setup on AWS EKS, Azure AKS, or GCP GKE, and Helm chart management to Docker-based autoscaling and multi-tenant workloads — we make Kubernetes work reliably in production. Docker image optimization and Kubernetes resource tuning are part of every engagement. → Security & Compliance (DevSecOps) Security is embedded at every layer of our DevOps work. We implement cloud security best practices across AWS, Azure, and GCP, integrate security scanning into CI/CD pipelines, manage secrets with HashiCorp Vault, and support security compliance automation for SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS requirements. AWS security configurations — IAM, VPC, Security Groups, GuardDuty — are applied from day one of every migration or infrastructure project. → Monitoring, Observability & Incident Response We set up full-stack monitoring and observability using Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, and the ELK stack — giving your team complete visibility into cloud infrastructure health. Proactive monitoring and observability practices catch production incidents before they impact users, reducing downtime and keeping your Kubernetes and Docker workloads stable. Every AWS, Azure, and GCP environment we deliver includes monitoring as a core deliverable, not an optional add-on. 📌 Core Expertise - Cloud Platforms: AWS | Microsoft Azure | Google Cloud Platform (GCP) - DevOps & CI/CD: GitHub Actions | GitLab CI | Jenkins | ArgoCD - Containers & Orchestration: Docker | Kubernetes | Helm - Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Terraform | Ansible - Monitoring & Observability: Prometheus | Grafana | Datadog | ELK Stack - Security: HashiCorp Vault | Security Scanning | Compliance Automation - Cloud Migration: Legacy-to-cloud | Multi-cloud | Lift-and-shift | Re-architecture 📌 Why clients choose us: ✅ Senior DevOps engineers with 10+ years of average hands-on AWS, Azure, and GCP production experience ✅ Full-cycle ownership — from cloud architecture and Terraform design to ongoing monitoring and support ✅ Proven track record in cloud migration, Kubernetes adoption, and CI/CD transformation ✅ Reduced deployment time, lower AWS and cloud infrastructure costs, and fewer production incidents ✅ Transparent communication, clear IaC and Terraform documentation, and fast response times

Your infrastructure breaks at 2 AM. Your deploys take 45 minutes. Your AWS bill climbed 40% and nobody can explain why. I fix all three - and I've done it 100+ times on this platform. Former SRE Lead at Yellow AI (100M+ users, AWS + on-prem). Now I run Skybyte, a DevOps and cloud consulting practice focused on startups and mid-market teams that need senior infrastructure work without the senior hire. What 61+ Upwork jobs and a 100% Job Success Score actually look like: Cloud cost optimization - cut AWS/Azure/GCP spend by 40-60% through right-sizing, Reserved Instances, spot fleets, and architecture cleanup. Not guesswork; I run the cost audit, build the dashboard, and hand you the savings. Kubernetes migration and management - moved production workloads to EKS, AKS, and self-managed clusters on Hetzner. Helm charts, ArgoCD GitOps, zero-downtime cutovers. I've handled clusters running 200+ pods and clusters running 6. CI/CD pipeline engineering - GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps Pipelines, Bitbucket Pipelines. Took teams from 45-minute manual deploys to sub-5-minute automated releases with rollback built in. Infrastructure as Code with Terraform - full AWS, Azure, and GCP environments defined in Terraform modules. State management, drift detection, and PR-based infrastructure reviews that your team can maintain without me. DevSecOps and compliance - SOC 2 infrastructure from scratch, cloud security audits, Cloudflare WAF and DDoS protection, network security architecture, and DPDP-aligned data handling.

Production cloud infrastructure usually breaks in the same places: unstable deployments, rising AWS costs, weak observability, fragile Kubernetes clusters, messy Terraform, poor CI/CD, and cloud environments that were built quickly but now need to be made reliable, secure, and scalable. I help startups, SaaS companies, fintech teams, and growing engineering organizations build and operate production-ready cloud infrastructure across AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, observability, security, and automation. AWS is my primary cloud platform, and most of my work is around AWS infrastructure, EKS, EC2, RDS, VPC, IAM, S3, CloudFront, Route53, Lambda, ECR, ECS, CloudWatch, WAF, and cost optimization. I also have strong hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure, including GKE, Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub, Cloud Build, Azure DevOps, Azure infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and multi-cloud environments. I usually get called in when: — AWS infrastructure was built fast and now needs to be made production-grade — Kubernetes or EKS/GKE clusters are unstable, expensive, or difficult to operate — Terraform exists, but environments still drift or changes feel risky — CI/CD pipelines have too many manual steps or unreliable deployments — Cloud costs are growing faster than the product — Teams lack proper monitoring, alerting, logs, dashboards, or incident visibility — Security, IAM, networking, secrets, and access controls need cleanup — Applications need to be migrated from VMs or manual servers to cloud-native infrastructure — Engineering teams need a reliable DevOps/SRE partner who can own infrastructure work end to end What I can help with: AWS Cloud Infrastructure Designing, building, troubleshooting, and improving AWS environments using EC2, VPC, IAM, RDS, EKS, ECS, ECR, Lambda, S3, CloudFront, Route53, WAF, CloudWatch, SQS, SNS, API Gateway, Auto Scaling, Load Balancers, and cost controls. Kubernetes & Containers Production Kubernetes setup and support using EKS, GKE, Helm, ArgoCD, Helmfile, Docker, ingress controllers, autoscaling, pod disruption budgets, network policies, service discovery, resource optimization, and cluster troubleshooting. Terraform & Infrastructure as Code Clean, reusable, documented Terraform modules for AWS, GCP, and Azure. I help with remote state, multi-environment setups, Terraform refactoring, drift reduction, CloudFormation, AWS CDK, and infrastructure automation. CI/CD & Deployment Automation Reliable pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, AWS CodePipeline, Docker builds, Helm deployments, GitOps workflows, staged rollouts, blue-green deployments, rollback strategies, and release automation. Observability & SRE Monitoring, logging, tracing, dashboards, and alerts using Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, Loki, OpenTelemetry, Datadog, ELK Stack, PagerDuty, and incident response workflows. I focus on alerts that are useful, not noisy. Cloud Cost Optimization & FinOps AWS and Kubernetes cost reviews, unused resource cleanup, right-sizing, RDS optimization, S3 lifecycle policies, NAT/data transfer review, Savings Plans/Reserved Instance evaluation, Kubernetes resource efficiency, and monthly cost reporting. Security & Production Readiness IAM hardening, least-privilege access, secrets management, Vault, External Secrets, network security, security groups, WAF, backup readiness, disaster recovery planning, public exposure review, SOC2-ready practices, and cloud security baselines. Cloud Migration & Modernization Migration from traditional servers, VMs, or manual deployments to AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, and cloud-native architecture. I can help modernize fragile infrastructure without disrupting your product. How I work: I do not build demo infrastructure that only works during handoff. I build systems your team can understand, operate, modify, and scale after I am gone. My focus is clean documentation, reliable automation, secure access, practical monitoring, and infrastructure that supports the business instead of slowing it down. If your AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, or cloud infrastructure is unstable, expensive, hard to deploy, or difficult to monitor, send me a message with what is currently broken. I will tell you honestly what I would check first and whether I can help.
