Expert DevOps/ CI/CD Pipeline Automation

A great application is useless if it's unreliable or impossible to deploy.

I am the founder of Gotedo Platform (the largest technology platform for churches and Christians (https://about.gotedo.com). I am a senior backend engineer with 10+ years as a Linux System Administrator and software engineer. I am a backend engineer with very strong DevOps experience and over 10 years in various IT sectors. I can architect and implement a fully automated, scalable, and secure infrastructure for your applications, whether self-hosted or in the cloud.

What This Service Includes:

1. Automated CI/CD Pipelines: I will build robust, automated staging and production deployment workflows. I have extensive experience using GitHub Actions and Docker to create pipelines that test and deploy code across the entire stack. My pipelines use tests as a deployment criterion, ensuring code quality.
2. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Automation: I write automated, idempotent initialization and setup scripts (using Bash) that can provision a bare-metal Debian server or VM from scratch and ready it for deployment within minutes. I've even written scripts to provision VMs as GitHub self-hosted runners to reduce CI/CD costs.
3. Scalability & Load Balancing: I design systems with a focus on scalability. I am an expert in setting up robust Layer 4 (Stream) and Layer 7 (HTTP(s)) reverse proxy and load balancing for services using Nginx. I also have experience with AWS EC2 autoscaling and AWS Elastic Load Balancing.
4. Containerization: I will containerize your applications using Docker and set up a local Docker-based development stack (PostgreSQL, Redis, Nginx, etc.) to improve your team's development experience.
5. Security & Hardening: I will set up robust firewalls and Fail2ban monitoring of error logs on all your servers to block malicious SSH and HTTP requests.

My Proven Expertise:

1. I have successfully achieved 100% self-hosting for all Gotedo services, including the application backend, accounts system, streams, and more. This is a massive undertaking that proves my ability to manage complex, interconnected infrastructure. I have set up robust database disaster recovery plans, including twice-daily dumps and Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR) WAL archiving for PostgreSQL.
2. My experience spans both self-hosted environments (Linux, Nginx) and cloud platforms like AWS (EC2, S3, CloudFront, Beanstalk, Route53) and Cloudflare (Workers, R2, Cache).
3. My background also includes RedHat Linux Administration and Network Administration.

Technology Stack: 

1. CI/CD: GitHub Actions.
2. Virtualization: Docker.
3. Cloud: AWS (EC2, S3, ELB, CloudFront, etc.), Cloudflare (Workers, R2, Cache).
4. Server Tech: Linux (Debian, RedHat) , Nginx , Bash Scripting , Firewalls, Fail2ban.

I own everything I do. Let me take ownership of your infrastructure so you can focus on your product. I will build you a reliable, scalable, and automated DevOps foundation.
