Ricard Santacreu Massó

Cloud Architect and Kubernetes Engineer with over 8 years of experience designing, migrating, and operating critical production cloud infrastructures. I help companies with Kubernetes clusters (GKE, EKS, or vanilla) and multi-cloud architectures (AWS, GCP) to: • Reduce cloud costs (FinOps): AWS and GCP spending audits, waste identification, resource rightsizing. Typical savings of 20-40% in the first iteration. • Design and execute migrations to Kubernetes / GKE / EKS without affecting operations, with a clear rollback strategy and observability from day one. • Resolve complex incidents in production clusters: networking, upgrades, security, performance, scaling issues. • Audit existing cloud architectures (resilience, cost, compliance, security) and deliver a prioritized remediation plan, not a 100-page PDF. I primarily work in two formats: 1. Intensive point audits (1-3 weeks): technical diagnosis, actionable findings, and a prioritized action plan by impact/effort. 2. Part-time migration or implementation projects (2-6 months): architecture design + execution accompanying the internal team, leaving installed capacity and documentation. Main stack: Kubernetes, GKE, EKS, AWS (IAM, VPC, ECS, EKS), GCP, Terraform, Helm, ArgoCD, GitLab CI / GitHub Actions, Prometheus + Grafana, cloud networking and security. I work 100% remotely from Tarragona for clients throughout Spain and Europe, with availability for occasional in-person sessions in Barcelona. Languages: native Catalan and Spanish, professional English. Do you have a Kubernetes cluster that's causing problems, a cloud bill that keeps rising, or are you planning a migration and need an external senior to validate the architecture? Let's talk
