Hey r/Cloud — I'm a Cloud Engineer at a financial institution, looking to take on short freelance/contract gigs on the side.

What I can help with:

• AWS & Azure architecture reviews and cost optimization (FinOps certified)
• Terraform IaC — writing, reviewing, or migrating existing infra to code
• AKS / Kubernetes deployments and troubleshooting
• Cloud cost audits — I built an Azure Monitor workbook that surfaces idle VMs, orphaned disks, AHUB gaps, right-sizing recommendations, and reservation opportunities across multiple subscriptions
• CI/CD pipeline setup (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps)
• Application Gateway / load balancer configurations and migrations
• Python scripting for cloud automation

Certs: AWS Solutions Architect Professional (SAP-C02), Azure Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-305), FinOps Certified Practitioner

Production experience: AKS clusters, App Gateway TLS migrations, Azure Resource Graph (KQL), Azure Functions, Terraform, Docker, compliance scanning

Open to hourly or project-based work — happy to scope before committing. DM me or drop a comment if you have something that fits.

Hi, looking for short gigs for DevOps / SRE /Platform /Cloud gigs. I have experience.
