DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure Consulting
I'm a freelance DevOps engineer and cloud infrastructure consultant available for remote engagements worldwide. I work as a DevOps Team Lead with 4+ years of experience, currently managing 10+ concurrent production environments on AWS and GCP, and I hold the AWS Certified Solutions Architect and HashiCorp Terraform Associate certifications.
Whether you need a one-off architecture review, a Terraform migration, a CI/CD overhaul, or an ongoing fractional DevOps engineer, I work in English across time zones. Engagements start with a free discovery call.
Who This Is For
- Startups and product teams moving to AWS or Kubernetes who want the foundations set up properly
- Teams whose infrastructure has grown faster than the tooling around it, where deploys are still manual and nobody has had time for IaC or monitoring
- Engineering leaders who want senior DevOps coverage that costs less than a senior hire and is easier to wind down when the work is done
- Engineers learning DevOps who want a mentor who runs production systems for a living
Services
AWS / GCP Architecture & Cost Review
AWS architecture review · cloud cost optimization
A structured review of your cloud architecture covering reliability, security posture, scalability, and cost. You get a prioritized findings report with concrete fixes, the same checks I run across the 10+ production AWS environments I manage today. The usual finds are boring: NAT gateways nobody remembers creating, gp2 volumes that should have been gp3 years ago, a security group still open to the world from some old debugging session. Occasionally it's something bigger, like a production database sitting in a single AZ.
Read the case study →Infrastructure as Code with Terraform
Terraform consulting · IaC migration · Terraform modules
Design and implementation of reusable Terraform modules for multi-environment AWS or GCP infrastructure. I've used this approach to cut manual provisioning effort by ~70% in production; standing up a new environment became a pull request instead of days of clicking through the console. Includes module design, remote state setup, CI-driven plan-review-apply workflow, and IaC compliance gates.
Read the case study →CI/CD Pipeline Setup & Optimization
CI/CD pipeline consultant · GitHub Actions · GitLab CI
GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins pipelines built for fast, safe deployments: build caching, environment promotion, rollback strategies, and deployment gates. Teams I've set this up for deploy several times a day, and rolling back is a single step. I also retrofit slow or fragile pipelines to cut build times and get rid of flaky deploys.
Read the case study →Kubernetes / EKS Operations
Kubernetes consultant · EKS consulting · GitOps ArgoCD
Cluster setup, GitOps with ArgoCD, Helm packaging, horizontal and vertical autoscaling, and observability with Prometheus and Grafana. I write the operational runbooks your team needs to run Kubernetes day to day, and I'm available for ongoing support when incidents happen.
Read the case study →DevSecOps Audit & Implementation
DevSecOps audit · pipeline security gates · IAM least-privilege
Security gates embedded into your existing pipelines: secret scanning (truffleHog, detect-secrets), IaC compliance checks (tflint, OPA/conftest), dependency scanning, IAM least-privilege review against actual CloudTrail usage, and SOPS-based secret management. Based on an organisation-wide DevSecOps transformation I led across 10+ client environments.
Read the case study →DevOps Mentorship
DevOps mentorship · 1-on-1 coaching · AWS career
1-on-1 mentorship for engineers breaking into DevOps or leveling up: personalised learning paths, real-world AWS/Terraform/Kubernetes walkthroughs, resume and portfolio review, and career guidance. Weekly sessions with async support between calls.
Mentorship details →Engagement Models
- Fixed-scope project — a defined deliverable (Terraform migration, CI/CD overhaul, DevSecOps audit) with a clear timeline and price. Good for teams with a specific problem to solve.
- Fractional DevOps engineer — 10–20 hrs/week of ongoing infrastructure ownership: incident response, new feature delivery, security reviews, and architecture guidance. Good when the work is ongoing but doesn't add up to a full-time role.
- Advisory — regular calls and async reviews for teams that have hands but need direction on architecture decisions, tooling choices, or hiring.
How We Start
- A free 30-minute discovery call to walk through your current setup and the problems you want solved.
- A short written proposal with scope, timeline, and pricing — no obligation.
- We start small — usually an audit or a contained project — so you can see how I work before committing to more.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with teams outside Nepal?
Yes. Most of my work is with international teams — I currently lead DevOps for a Tokyo-based company and have worked remotely across time zones for 4+ years. I am open to engagements worldwide, fully remote or with relocation.
What is a fractional DevOps engineer?
A fractional DevOps engineer provides senior-level DevOps ownership on a part-time or retainer basis — typically 10–20 hours per week — without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. You get infrastructure ownership, on-call guidance, and hands-on execution for a fraction of a full-time salary.
How long does a Terraform migration take?
For a single environment with existing hand-built AWS infrastructure, a safe incremental migration typically takes 3–6 weeks. Multi-environment setups with 5+ environments take 6–12 weeks depending on complexity and how much existing IaC is already in place.
What does a DevSecOps audit include?
Secret scanning in CI/CD pipelines, IaC compliance checks (tflint, OPA/conftest policies), IAM least-privilege review against actual CloudTrail usage, dependency vulnerability scanning, TLS/certificate management review, and a prioritized findings report with implementation guidance.
How does a consulting engagement start?
It starts with a free discovery call to understand your infrastructure, pain points, and goals. I then propose a scoped plan — typically an audit or a fixed-scope project first — so you can evaluate the work before committing to a retainer.
What size of company do you typically help?
Startups and small-to-mid-size product teams that need senior DevOps capability without a full-time hire: teams moving to AWS or Kubernetes, preparing for growth, or needing CI/CD and security practices put in place properly.
