Growing engineering teams moving from manual container deployments to declarative GitOps—or simplifying over-engineered Kubernetes clusters—frequently search to hire a freelance Kubernetes (AWS EKS, Google GKE), Helm, ArgoCD & Terraform platform programmer. I am Aldian Fazrihady, a Senior Freelance Cloud Architect and Full Stack Programmer.
Core Kubernetes, GitOps & Cloud-Native Capabilities
- Declarative GitOps with ArgoCD & Helm / Kustomize: Automating multi-environment (`staging`, `production`) rollouts, canary traffic splitting (Argo Rollouts), and instant one-click rollbacks synced directly from Git.
- Karpenter & GKE Autopilot Cost Optimization: Packing workloads onto right-sized Spot and Graviton ARM64 nodes automatically while enforcing Pod Disruption Budgets (`PDB`) and topology spread constraints for zero-downtime node rotation.
- External Secrets Operator & Zero-Trust Networking: Syncing secrets securely from AWS Secrets Manager / GCP Secret Manager with TLS ingress controllers (cert-manager, Envoy, Cloudflare Tunnel).
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you also tell us if we don't actually need Kubernetes and migrate us to Cloud Run or ECS Fargate?
Absolutely! If your team is spending 30 hours a month babysitting EKS control planes for 4 microservices, I can migrate you to Google Cloud Run or AWS ECS Fargate with Terraform—saving thousands of dollars and massive operational overhead.
How do I hire you for Kubernetes, Cloud Run, or Terraform architecture?
Hire me via Upwork.
