Multi-Cloud Expertise

Deep, hands-on experience across AWS, Azure, and Oracle Cloud — including hybrid and migration scenarios. No vendor lock-in bias, just the right tool for your workload.

Production Kubernetes Experience

Operating real clusters under real traffic — autoscaling, upgrades, incident response, and cost tuning on EKS and AKS with GitOps-driven delivery.

Case Studies

What Clients Say

Dhairya rebuilt our deployment pipeline and cut release time from hours to minutes. Our team finally ships without fear.
Michael Carter — CTO
B2B SaaS Startup
As our fractional DevOps engineer, Dhairya gave us senior platform expertise without the full-time cost. Deployments went from weekly stress to a non-event.
Rohan Mehta — Co-founder
SaaS Startup
Our AWS bill dropped 38% after his architecture review — with better performance than before. Worth every penny.
Emma Richardson — Founder
E-commerce Platform
He rebuilt our monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana. MTTR dropped dramatically and on-call finally became bearable — alerts actually mean something now.
Priya Sharma — Engineering Lead
HealthTech Startup
He set up our Kubernetes platform and trained the team to own it. Clear communication, zero drama, production-solid results.
James O'Connor — VP Engineering
Digital Agency

About

Engineer First, Consultant Second

I am a DevOps Engineer with 5+ years of experience helping businesses build reliable cloud infrastructure and automation platforms.

My focus is creating scalable, secure, and cost-efficient systems using Kubernetes, Terraform, and cloud-native technologies — systems your team can understand, operate, and grow with.

Alongside DevOps consulting, I develop backend services in Golang and Python for companies needing robust APIs and cloud applications.
