I'm a DevOps & Cloud Engineer with over 7 years designing, automating, and operating production infrastructure on AWS and Azure. My work spans fintech, e-commerce, SaaS, blockchain, and platform engineering, environments where reliability and cost both matter.

I cut cloud costs through rightsizing and CDN optimization, rebuild CI/CD pipelines so deployments run unattended, keep Kubernetes stable under load, and provision entire environments with a single Terraform command. I've also deployed and managed the application stacks on top (Node.js, MERN, Laravel, Django, and Android), so infrastructure decisions stay grounded in how the app actually runs. My deepest work is in AWS (ECS and EKS), Terraform, and CI/CD pipeline design.

Currently open to full time, part time, freelance, and contract work, from infrastructure audits and CI/CD overhauls to full cloud builds.

How I can help

Focused engagements with clear deliverables, from a one-off audit to ongoing platform ownership.

Cloud Cost Audit

Rightsizing, CDN and resource cleanup, delivered as a prioritized savings report you can act on.

about 1 week

CI/CD Overhaul

Pipelines that run unattended and release faster, with safe rollbacks and alerting that fires on the right things.

1 to 2 weeks

Kubernetes Setup & Stabilization

A production-ready EKS or AKS cluster with autoscaling, health probes, and monitoring wired in.

2 to 3 weeks

Cloud Build with Terraform

An entire environment provisioned as reproducible, reviewable infrastructure as code.

Architecture & infrastructure projects

A selection of production systems I've designed and operated. Each opens a live, interactive architecture diagram showing the full request flow, async services, and CI/CD pipeline.

Matchmaking Platform

AWS

Infrastructure for a matchmaking platform architected to scale to 1M+ users. Cloudflare → CloudFront → WAF → ALB → ECS (Fargate), with Elasticsearch and RDS, async email/notifications via Lambda + SES/SNS, and identity verification through Rekognition. GitLab CI/CD with rolling dev → staging → prod deploys.

Web3 Platform

AWS

Containerized Web3 application on ECS behind Cloudflare, CloudFront, and an ALB, backed by RDS and DynamoDB. Real-time monitoring with Prometheus + Grafana and Slack alerting; Bitbucket → ECR → ECS deployment pipeline.

Web3 Admin Portal

AWS

Admin platform on ECS running two pipelines: one Bitbucket pipeline runs Terraform plan/apply for infrastructure, and a second builds and deploys containers to ECS. Async notifications go through Lambda and SNS, with secrets centralized in SSM Parameter Store.

Blockchain Wallet

Azure

Hardened, geo-routed wallet infrastructure: Traffic Manager → DDoS Protection → Front Door → WAF → AKS → Cosmos DB (MongoDB API). Secrets via Key Vault + Managed Identity over private endpoints, with App Insights + Azure Monitor and an Azure DevOps rolling-update pipeline.
