Deploy code with 100% confidence.
No manual SSH steps.

Stop manually copying files to your servers or risking outages during updates. I build fully automated GitHub Actions and GitLab CI/CD pipelines that test, build, and deploy your code automatically on every push. Fixed-price setup with 30 days of post-launch support.

Robust automation. Flat rate.

I configure a modern delivery pipeline that connects your repository (GitHub/GitLab) directly to your servers.

CI/CD Pipeline Setup — FAQ

How long does it take to set up a CI/CD pipeline?

A basic GitHub Actions or GitLab CI pipeline (lint, test, build, deploy) can be set up in 24–48 hours. A more complex pipeline with Docker builds, environment-specific deployments, canary releases, Slack notifications, and manual approval gates typically takes 3–5 days.

What is a CI/CD pipeline?

A CI/CD pipeline is an automated workflow that takes code from a git commit to a production deployment. CI (Continuous Integration) runs tests and builds on every push. CD (Continuous Delivery or Deployment) automates the release process to staging and production environments, eliminating manual SSH deployments and human error.

What CI/CD tools do you work with?

I build pipelines with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Jenkins. For deployment targets, I work with AWS CodeDeploy, ECS, Kubernetes (Helm), and server deployments over SSH with zero-downtime rollouts. All pipelines include secrets management via GitHub Secrets, AWS Secrets Manager, or Vault.

How do you handle rollbacks in a CI/CD pipeline?

Every pipeline I build includes an automated rollback step triggered by health check failure. For Kubernetes deployments, rollback uses kubectl rollout undo. For EC2 deployments, blue-green switching reverts DNS. For Docker containers, the previous image tag is re-deployed within 60 seconds of a failed health check.

Eliminate deployment panic.

Spend your time building your startup, not manually configuring servers.
