Kubernetes is easy to deploy to and hard to operate. I'm a freelance Kubernetes and platform engineer who builds clusters founders and CTOs can hand to their own team: sane RBAC, admission controls, cost visibility, and a developer experience that doesn't require a platform team to babysit. You get production-grade orchestration without ops becoming the bottleneck.
Four layers from control plane to developer experience — built to be operated, not just stood up.
Managed or self-hosted control planes with node-group design, network policy, and RBAC that follows least privilege instead of cluster-admin-for-everyone.
GitOps-driven rollouts with health checks, progressive delivery, and rollback. Manifests reviewed like code, not pasted from a Stack Overflow answer.
Self-service namespaces, admission controls, and internal tooling so product engineers ship without filing a ticket for every deploy.
Autoscaling that tracks real demand, resource requests that reflect reality, and cost visibility per namespace — no vendor tool required.
Fixed-scope for a defined buildout or audit; time & materials for embedded, ongoing work. Remote-first, and every engagement ends with a handover your team can actually run — documented, in version control, yours to keep.
