Jayvee Celestial

OpenShift & Kubernetes Specialist|

I help startups ship cloud-native infrastructure — without hiring a full-time DevOps team.

4+ years shipping production infrastructure at IBM and eMcREY. I work with startups remotely on DevOps setup, Kubernetes/OpenShift deployments, CI/CD pipelines, and LLM workflow automation. Red Hat certified. Available now for project-based or hourly engagements.
