I'm a Cloud and AI Architect with 15+ years of enterprise experience, including 4 years at Microsoft on the Azure team where I consulted F500 companies like AT&T, Walmart, and Mastercard on AI, cloud adoption, security, and infrastructure at scale. I founded TechVora, a small in-office engineering team based in Houston, TX. We work mainly with clients where security, compliance, and uptime are non-negotiable. All engineers work in-house, we never sub out work, which matters when sensitive data is involved. WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT I act as the architect on every engagement and don't bill for my time. You get senior-level architecture, design, and oversight built into the cost of your developer. AI & PRODUCTION SYSTEMS Over the last two years we've shifted heavily into production AI - we've shipped four enterprise-grade multi-tenant AI applications across legal, accounting, oil & gas, and media, all involving custom LLM pipelines, RAG, and agents handling real sensitive data at scale. CORE COMPETENCIES - Cloud Architecture & Migration (Azure, AWS, GCP) - AI/LLM Integration — RAG, Agents, Multi-tenant Production Apps - DevSecOps, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep) - Data Pipelines, Warehousing & ETL - HIPAA-Compliant Architecture - Monitoring, Observability & Incident Response - M365, Azure Security & Compliance Happy to jump on a quick call - I offer a free strategy session for any new engagement.

Hi, I’m Kseniya - I help teams make cloud infrastructure cleaner, and easier to trust. 👋 I’m a DevOps Engineer / Software Architect with over 7 years of experience in cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, Kubernetes, Terraform, automation, and Java / Spring Boot systems. My path into DevOps Engineering started from backend development. I worked as a Java / Spring Boot and Full Stack Developer, and I kept seeing the same problems: stressful releases, different environments, unclear cloud costs, noisy monitoring, and production systems nobody wanted to touch on Friday. That moved me deeper into AWS DevOps, Azure DevOps, DevOps GCP, DevOps Kubernetes, CI/CD, Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, and reliability. 🛠 What I usually help with I work with AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker, Helm, Ansible, CloudFormation, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, Python, Bash, PowerShell, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Zabbix, CloudWatch, PostgreSQL, Java, Spring Boot, and REST APIs. A lot of my work is practical DevOps Engineering: setting up CI/CD pipelines, moving apps to the cloud, containerizing services, building Kubernetes clusters, writing Infrastructure as Code, improving cloud storage, fixing deployments, reducing cloud costs, and making monitoring useful. As an AWS Architect and AWS DevOps Engineer, I work with AWS DevOps, VPC, EC2, RDS, IAM, Route 53, CloudFront, Lambda, SSM, EBS, EFS, CloudTrail, AWS CDK, CloudFormation, security, backups, networking, and cost optimization. As an Azure DevOps Engineer, Azure Cloud Engineer, and Azure Administrator, I help with Azure DevOps pipelines, Azure VMs, Functions, Blob Storage, Cosmos DB, access control, deployment automation, and environment cleanup. As a GCP DevOps Engineer and DevOps GCP specialist, I help teams run apps on Google Cloud, automate deployments, set up monitoring, and keep infrastructure easier to maintain. ☸️ Kubernetes and production work I’ve worked with Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes, Helm, and DevOps Kubernetes setups for Java/Spring Boot, web, and mobile apps. As a Kubernetes Engineer, I focus on what makes production stable: clean deployments, resource limits, secrets, logs, health checks, rollback, autoscaling, and release steps. I don’t like infrastructure that only one person understands. Good infrastructure should be repeatable, visible, documented, and safe to change. 🧠 Architecture and consulting Sometimes clients come to me as a Cloud Engineer. Sometimes they need a Solution Architect, Software Architect, System Architect, Enterprise Architect, Software Consultant, Data Engineer, DevOps Engineer, AWS Architect, AWS DevOps DevOps Architect, Kubernetes Engineer, Cloud Engineer, Azure Cloud Engineer, AWS DevOps Engineer, Azure DevOps Engineer, or GCP DevOps Engineer who can look at whole picture. I can help answer questions like: • Should this stay on VMs or move to Kubernetes? • What should be automated first? • Why are cloud costs growing? • Where is the deployment process risky? • What should we monitor before the next incident? • How should environments, secrets, cloud storage, and access be organized? I don’t suggest Kubernetes if Docker Compose is enough. I don’t create a complex Terraform structure when the team needs something simple. 🚨 My approach to incidents When production breaks, I stay calm and focus on recovery first. After the service is stable, I look for the real reason: missing metrics, weak alerts, bad deployment steps, manual cloud changes, poor IAM permissions, slow queries, memory problems, unstable CI/CD, or infrastructure that grew without a clear plan. Every incident should leave the system a little better than before: better logs, better alerts, better rollback, better documentation, and less guesswork next time. ✅ I’m a good fit if you need help with • AWS DevOps, AWS architecture, AWS migration • Azure DevOps, Azure infrastructure, Azure Administrator tasks • GCP, DevOps GCP, Google Cloud deployment automation • Kubernetes, DevOps Kubernetes, Docker, Helm • Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, Infrastructure as Code • CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation • Cloud storage, backups, access control, IAM, secrets • Monitoring, logging, alerting, incident response • Cloud cost optimization across AWS, Azure, and GCP • Java / Spring Boot deployment automation • Infrastructure audit, security audit, production cleanup • Architecture review for SaaS, mobile, web, and enterprise systems I understand how apps behave inside infrastructure due to a strong backend experience: database connections, API latency, memory usage, logs, queues, background jobs, and failed deployments. That helps me work better with developers. If your team is tired of manual releases, unclear cloud costs, unstable Kubernetes, messy DevOps, or production issues that keep coming back, I can help you build a cleaner setup. ⚠️ Invite me to your project - I’ll be happy to take a look and suggest the first practical steps.
