Michael F.
Last position:
Platform Architect (Project lead) at Würth IT
I designed and built a self-service AWS platform for Data Science teams with little or no infrastructure-as-code experience. A team writes about 10 lines of Python and gets a deployable stack with full SDLC release cycle that already follows the governance rules. Networking, encryption, IAM and tagging are decided by the platform, not by each team.
New teams or AWS accounts are onboarded with one pull request. Waste prevention and cost control is built into the defaults: Data scientists don't need infrastructure skills.
- Construct library (AWS CDK, Python). Built a versioned catalog of about 20 hardened constructs for being used in data-science projects with ML context
- Governance as code
- Multi-account, multi-tenant
- Golden-path scaffolding
- CI/CD and supply chain. Built reusable GitHub Actions workflows
- Release engineering
- QA with e2e, contract testing and unit test coverage with each release candidate

Gabin Maxime N.
Last position:
Multi-Agent R&D Pipeline (3 Custom Agents) at Independent Project
Claude Code subagents, MCP, Pydantic V2, pytest, bandit
Designed and shipped 3 specialized agents that hand work down a line: a research agent writes a cited implementation spec, a coding agent builds the modular code and its tests, a review agent ranks findings by severity and applies the fixes. Each handoff is a structured document, so no stage depends on another agent's context window.
Connected the research agent to an academic-research MCP server (Semantic Scholar, ArXiv, Hugging Face Hub, citation snowballing) so every reference traces to a tool result rather than the model. Gated commits behind ruff, mypy, pytest and bandit, required human sign-off before installs and commits, and persisted session state on disk so long runs survive a context reset.

About the technology
Cloud foundation
Amazon Web Services, commonly called AWS, is a cloud computing ecosystem for running applications, storing data, processing events, and connecting users across regions. Companies use its on-demand services instead of maintaining every server and network component themselves. AWS supports small workloads, global products, internal systems, and highly regulated environments.
Core services
Its ecosystem includes Amazon EC2 for virtual machines, Amazon S3 for object storage, Amazon RDS and DynamoDB for databases, and Amazon VPC for private networking. Lambda supports event-driven functions, while ECS, EKS, and Fargate run containerized workloads. CloudFront, API Gateway, SQS, SNS, and Step Functions connect applications and workflows.
Delivery work
AWS specialists often contribute across the full lifecycle of a cloud project.
- Design account structures, VPCs, identity policies, and resilient architectures
- Migrate applications, databases, and storage from data centers or other clouds
- Build container, serverless, and event-driven services
- Automate infrastructure with Terraform, CloudFormation, or AWS CDK
- Set up CI/CD pipelines, observability, backups, and disaster recovery
When to bring expertise
Freelance AWS expertise is useful during a cloud migration, a platform redesign, or a sudden increase in traffic. Companies also engage specialists when cloud costs, deployment risk, security findings, or unclear ownership slow delivery. They can work with an existing product team, take responsibility for a defined workstream, or establish operating practices for a new AWS environment.
Skills beyond AWS
Strong professionals combine AWS knowledge with Linux, networking, security, and software delivery. Relevant tools include Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Prometheus, and Grafana. Depending on the project, useful adjacent experience covers Python, Java, Node.js, data engineering, machine learning, or compliance controls. Clear documentation matters as much as configuration.
Quality signals
Look for specialists who explain trade-offs rather than naming services without context. They should show how they protect identities, isolate networks, manage secrets, monitor workloads, and control spending. Practical quality is visible in reproducible infrastructure, tested recovery plans, useful runbooks, and a migration or delivery plan that fits the company’s existing systems. Remote collaboration works well when access, ownership, communication, and review processes are agreed early.
Frequently asked questions
Key details about Amazon Web Services, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
Amazon Web Services is used to host applications, store and analyze data, run containers, deliver content, and automate business workflows. AWS also provides services for serverless computing, machine learning, monitoring, identity, and networking.
AWS offers a broad service ecosystem and deep support for many application patterns. Azure can be a natural fit for companies centered on Microsoft identity and business software, while Google Cloud is often considered for data, analytics, and machine learning workloads. The best choice depends on existing skills, architecture, compliance needs, and commercial terms.
A strong Amazon Web Services specialist usually understands networking, Linux, identity and access management, security, and infrastructure as code. Experience with Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, databases, and observability is valuable when the work extends beyond a single AWS service.
The right level depends on the scope and risk of the work. A focused S3 integration may need less specialist depth than a multi-account migration, regulated platform, or production recovery design. Define the architecture, ownership, delivery risks, and required services before selecting an AWS professional.
Yes. Amazon Web Services work is often suitable for remote collaboration because infrastructure, repositories, tickets, and monitoring can be shared securely. Agree on access boundaries, documentation, meeting language, response expectations, and deployment approvals before work begins.
Bring in an AWS specialist when an internal team is planning a migration, facing reliability or security issues, or needs help with a defined cloud delivery phase. Freelancers can also provide an independent architecture review before a major platform decision.
Ask for a clear explanation of architecture choices, failure handling, access controls, deployment processes, and operational costs. Good Amazon Web Services work is reproducible, documented, observable, and tested through recovery or failure scenarios rather than judged only by a successful initial deployment.
Describe the current environment, target services, workload patterns, data sensitivity, delivery stage, and expected responsibilities. A useful AWS brief also states whether the specialist will work with Terraform, CloudFormation, AWS CDK, containers, or serverless components, and how the existing team will review and operate the result.
The average hourly rate of freelancers who have used Amazon Web Services in their recent projects is 97 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 779 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers who have used Amazon Web Services in their recent projects, 93% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 59% hold at least a Master's degree, and 9% hold a doctorate.
On average, freelancers who have used Amazon Web Services in their recent projects have 17 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 2.9 years.
