AWS & Terraform specialist for growing teams

I help small and mid‑size companies get production‑grade AWS infrastructure with Terraform and modern CI/CD – without hiring a full‑time DevOps team.

Availability: part‑time/side engagement, remote from Prague.

Problems you solve

Running AWS without proper infrastructure as code and automation creates risk and slows teams down. I work with engineering teams who:

Manual AWS Management

Manage AWS resources manually in the console and fear breaking production.

Flaky Pipelines

Have ad‑hoc pipelines that are slow, flaky, or tightly coupled to one person.

Lack Visibility

Lack visibility into their environments, costs, and operational risks.

My goal: Give you a stable, well‑understood platform so developers can ship faster with less stress.

Services

1. Terraform migration for AWS

Turn your manually created AWS infrastructure into clean, maintainable Terraform.

Inventory your existing AWS resources and define a target architecture.
Import and refactor resources into Terraform with remote state and workspaces.
Integrate Terraform with Git (GitLab/GitHub) and basic CI for plans & applies.

Typical scope: 2–4 weeks part‑time depending on size and complexity.

2. AWS infrastructure review & optimisation

Independent review of your current AWS setup with concrete, prioritized improvements.

Assess networking, security, scaling, backup, and cost setup.
Review IAM, encryption, and basic compliance/hardening.
Deliver a written report plus a 60‑minute call to walk through findings and next steps.

Ideal if you already run in AWS but lack confidence in reliability or costs.

3. CI/CD pipeline setup for AWS & Terraform

Design or improve your pipelines so changes are safe, auditable, and fast.

GitLab (or GitHub) pipelines for application and infrastructure changes.
Automated Terraform plans on every merge request, with approvals and policies.
Safe promotion between environments (dev/stage/prod) and clear rollback paths.

Outcome: developers trust the pipelines, and infra changes stop being "scary".

How I Work

Remote‑first

I collaborate via video calls, chat, and Git, and can join your stand‑ups if needed.

Incremental

I start with a short assessment, then prioritize the highest‑impact improvements.

Transparent

Everything is tracked in Git and tickets, so you always see progress and decisions.

Engagement model:

Hourly rate: 45–50 € per hour, depending on scope and commitment.
Fixed‑price packages available after an initial conversation.

About me

I'm Konstantinos, a Senior Cloud Operations / DevOps Engineer based in Prague. I design, build, and operate AWS infrastructure using Terraform, manage container workloads, and maintain CI/CD pipelines with GitLab in production environments.

Experience highlights:

Several years running AWS for regulated, high‑traffic environments.
Hands‑on with Terraform, GitLab CI, ECS/Kubernetes, observability, and incident response.
Comfortable owning infrastructure end‑to‑end: from VPCs and IAM to pipelines and monitoring.

I enjoy working with small and mid‑size teams that need senior expertise on a flexible, part‑time basis.
