Top Rated Plus, top 1% on Upwork, 10+ years running production infrastructure for US companies.
I am a DevOps and cloud infrastructure engineer. I design, automate, and run production environments on AWS, GCP, and Azure, and I take teams from manual deployments and "it works on my machine" to a repeatable, monitored, cost controlled platform they can ship to every day.
Most of my clients come back for a second and third engagement, and many of the long running ones started as a single small task. I would rather tell you a scope is unrealistic before we start than discover it together halfway through.

I also write backend code (Python with Flask and Django, Go, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java) when the infrastructure work needs it. That means I can fix the application side of a deployment problem, build internal tooling, or wire up serverless functions myself instead of handing it back to your developers.

▸ Honest scoping: you get a written scope, timeline, and the risks I see before any hours are billed. If something is out of my depth I say so.

▸ Steady communication: regular progress updates in your channel of choice, no long silences, no surprises on the invoice.
▸ Production mindset: I treat your environment like I am on call for it, because during our engagement I am. That includes off hours incident response and 15 days of free support after delivery.
