I'm an expert in cloud native development (DevOps, Kubernetes and AWS).My main focus is helping companies get the most out of the cloud. What that means depends on the company. It means architecting start ups cloud setup while paying special attention to security and best practises. It also means helping enterprise customers reduce their AWS bills. Other things I've done include, automate infrastructure with tools like CDK and terraform. Building platforms to allow developers and project managers to deploy code without getting the DevOps teams involved. Migrating from GCP to AWS, and much more.
I have lot's of varied experience, in different sectors and roles including: cloud development, front and backend development. As well as expertise with many different languages and frameworks including: Rust, Elixir, Typescript, Elm, ReScript, React/React Native, Phoenix.

I help startups improve the UX/UI and web design of their products, including web app UI redesigns and custom website designs. My background as a full stack developer and independent app creator lets me work closely with your development team to come up with easy-to-use solutions that are practical to code.
The best live example of my skills is Checkbot (https://www.checkbot.io/), an easy to use browser extension that audits websites for SEO, speed and performance problems. The entire project is my own work including the extension itself, website design, website copy + articles, UI design and UX.

> What's the point of writing a comment as a company in a thread for freelancers? Also: is this a duplicate post? A team leader from that same company posted another comment [2] not long ago.
Additionally, your comment history and the comment history of the related account [3] consist of monthly whoishiring / freelancer posts for the past year. Is this an automated account?

If more agencies started posting here (and write the same comment every month), then 1. freelancers would be at a disadvantage, and 2. it would get spammy, we could basically replace the monthly thread with a static page.
I am web focused software developer. Since 2014 I've worked in Berlin in several companies, most recently in FinTech companies.
My strengths are delivering MVP projects and frontend infrastructure. Looking for part-time engagement or full time contract to help build your product.
Website: https://msaracevic.github.ioSoftware Architect / Senior Full Stack Engineer with 12 years of commercial experience (esp. FinTech, Healthcare) in prototyping, MVP, backend and frontend development as well as maintenance and DevOps. I can work during PT/ET hours!
But using more than one account, posting in more than one thread, and doing that every single month, seems spammy. Especially when it’s coming from an agency and not an individual.

DevOps is a culture, not a role. Invest in your team's knowledge of DevOps best practices and make a team of internal experts within your domain.
In the past, I've:
- Saved a company $500k a year in CI infrastructure costs.
- Worked with several hundred engineer organizations to migrate from Jenkins to GitHub Actions.
- Introduced configuration as code and GitOps best practices to teams.
- Built dynamic review environments triggered on a pull request.
I'm available to:
- Reduce the costs of your CI infrastructure so that you can free up your infrastructure budget.
- Help you migrate from Jenkins to a more modern CI platform, like GitHub Actions, to reduce operational overhead and iterate faster.
- Help your team evaluate emerging technologies and processes. CircleCI or GitHub Actions? Kubernetes or Nomad? GitOps or ChatOps? How do you know what's likely going to be a fad and what's not? I can help your team avoid costly mistakes when adopting new tools and processes.
- Scale your DevOps processes. Should your company adopt full-stack teams that own the entire delivery pipeline, or should a specialized team of internal experts own the pipelines? These are the questions I can help you answer so that you can decide on the right trade-offs that make sense for your company as it scales to avoid future expensive migrations.
- Do implementation work. Maybe you're a small team that doesn't have enough DevOps resources. I can augment your team, dive in, and start delivering fast. I'm well-versed in terraform, Kubernetes, docker, etc. I can help you build repeatable pipelines, documentation and provide a smooth hand-off to your internal team.
- Need something else? Please don't hesitate to reach out.

I have a broad range of experience - from developing custom controllers for hardware on autonomous vehicles to creating a book written and illustrated entirely by AI. With plenty in between, totaling 6 years of professional experience.
My job is to solve problems, usually with software. If you have an interesting or niche project we might be a good match! I like helping to get early-stage projects off the ground, but I consider most projects as long as they're interesting and challenging - bug fixes and legacy systems included. Particularly interested in projects in sports and automotive - though not a requirement.
