Nune Isabekyan
Last position:
Fractional CTO at OpsWorker
OpsWorker turns Kubernetes alerts into root-cause analyses, on top of the monitoring a team already runs. I lead the technical side: the agent architecture, the AWS infrastructure it runs on (fully inside EU regions), and the engineering decisions behind it, read-only in the cluster by default, human in the loop for judgment. The stack underneath: Amazon Bedrock and Bedrock AgentCore, agents built with the Strands Agents SDK, the Claude and OpenAI APIs, and the Kubernetes API.

About the role
Navigating Cloud Migrations in Berlin's Ecosystem
Berlin has established itself as a leading European hub for both disruptive startups and established enterprise offices. To stay competitive, local organizations require scalable and secure cloud strategies that support rapid software deployment. A freelance cloud specialist helps businesses navigate this transition, guiding them from legacy physical servers to dynamic public, private, or hybrid cloud environments while ensuring strict compliance with local data protection regulations.

- Designing resilient, highly available architectures on AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform
- Migrating on-premise workloads to cloud environments with minimal business disruption
- Auditing existing cloud deployments to identify cost-saving opportunities and optimize resource allocation
- Establishing automated pipelines and implementing infrastructure as code using Terraform and Ansible
- Hardening cloud networks and configuring access management to meet European data security standards
Technical Mastery and Essential Tools
A skilled cloud architect or consultant brings deep practical experience in modern containerization and virtualization technologies. They utilize Kubernetes, Docker, and CloudFormation to automate application deployment and manage underlying resources efficiently. Beyond basic setup, they integrate sophisticated monitoring and logging solutions like Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK Stack to ensure complete operational visibility and rapid troubleshooting capabilities.

Frequently asked questions
Need clarity? These are the questions we hear most often about Cloud Consultants.
A cloud consultant analyzes a company's existing IT infrastructure, designs a strategy for cloud adoption, and oversees the migration process. They focus on choosing the right cloud providers, structuring secure network environments, and optimizing operational costs.
While a cloud engineer focuses primarily on the hands-on implementation, coding, and day-to-day maintenance of cloud systems, a cloud consultant operates at a more strategic level. The consultant defines the overall cloud roadmap, architecture, and vendor selection, though many also possess the technical skills to assist with deployment.

It avoids the lengthy hiring cycles in the local German market and provides flexible, specialized knowledge that your permanent IT team might lack.
Our freelance cloud architects in Berlin are highly experienced in the major public cloud platforms, specifically Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

They implement strict encryption standards, set up precise identity and access management controls, and configure cloud environments to meet the stringent requirements of German privacy regulations.
When assessing a freelance cloud advisor, look for professional-level certifications from major providers, such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert, or Google Cloud Certified Professional Cloud Architect. Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform is also highly valuable.
Yes, a skilled cloud cost optimizer can conduct a thorough audit of your current deployments to identify idle resources, over-provisioned virtual machines, and inefficient storage configurations. They implement automated scaling policies and recommend commitment-based pricing plans to lower your monthly cloud spend significantly.
