Cloud Infrastructure & Migration
Where the software runs
Servers sized for what you actually use, moved into the cloud or back out of it, with the monthly bill worked out first.
Selected work demonstrating this service.
- Deployed and maintained 20 Docker containerized applications, troubleshooting with Podman and Kubernetes, and managing R‑based apps on Google Cloud and AWS.
- Optimized budget costs 10 times with zero loss in productivity for the Saudi Arabia company by reimagining the overall infrastructure, eliminating unnecessary services, and relocating from the AWS cloud.
- Provisioned Azure infrastructure as code with Bicep — Container Apps, PostgreSQL Flexible Server, Front Door/WAF and networking — across the development, staging and production environments.
- Owned end‑to‑end deployments of the platform to Azure, managing releases across development, staging and production environments.
- As one of the first hires, designed and built the entire core infrastructure and supporting processes from scratch for a green‑energy SaaS startup, laying the foundation for rapid growth.
- Built the company's own infrastructure as 19 Ansible playbooks and 34 roles across 12,065 lines of YAML, converging a live host to a declared state with every play idempotent.
- Ran the whole company on one 512 MB single‑core host — a git forge, a web server serving seven domains, Tor, two alternate‑protocol servers, backups and intrusion banning — by treating 464 MB of usable memory as the binding architectural constraint.
- Deployed a container plane on Podman and Quadlet under systemd rather than Docker, because Docker publishes container ports above the host firewall's own rules — and gave deploys an unprivileged user with one fixed command instead of root.
- Automated the provisioning of a second server on a second cloud provider, creating the firewall before the machine so it is born behind one, with both providers' firewalls written directly against their REST APIs to avoid a third‑party collection.
