### What I can help you build
AWS Cloud Infrastructure | AWS Platform Engineering | Terraform IaC | Amazon EKS | Kubernetes | Cloud Networking | CI/CD | GitOps | Infrastructure Automation | Monitoring & Logging | Cloud Migration**
I focus on building infrastructure that is secure, scalable, automated, maintainable and production-ready, rather than simply deploying individual AWS resources or Kubernetes workloads.
If you are building or modernizing an AWS platform, Kubernetes environment, or Infrastructure-as-Code foundation, I can help design and implement it from the infrastructure layer through application deployment and operations.

Hi, this is JAZIB.
I build and automate production cloud infrastructure — Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker, and CI/CD on AWS and GCP — for startups that need deployments to just work.
Real numbers from recent projects:
Cut environment provisioning from 2 days to 45 minutes by automating infrastructure with Terraform and Ansible
Ran bare-metal Kubernetes serving LLM APIs to 1,000+ concurrent users with autoscaling, on one of Pakistan's most powerful HPC systems
Designed platform stacks for Shaheen III at KAUST — the Middle East's most powerful supercomputer
Built GitOps pipelines (GitHub Actions → Harbor → Kubernetes → ArgoCD) with automated rollbacks
Deployed an on-prem GPU Kubernetes cluster for machine learning research workloads
Shipped an 8-container observability stack (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, Grafana) across staging and production
What I can take off your plate:
☸️ Kubernetes — EKS, GKE, and on-prem/bare-metal clusters, Helm, autoscaling
🏗️ Terraform + Ansible — infrastructure as code your team can actually maintain after I'm gone
⚙️ CI/CD — GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, ArgoCD, full GitOps workflows
🐳 Docker — containerization and production-ready environments
☁️ AWS and GCP — architecture, migrations, IAM, secrets, security hardening
📊 Monitoring — Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, OpenTelemetry, alerting that catches problems before your users do
🐧 Linux — administration, automation, troubleshooting, migrations
How I work: clear scope before any code gets written, fast responses, documentation and deployment guides with every handover, and no clever architecture where a simple one does the job. Clients keep coming back because the infrastructure I leave behind doesn't need me on speed dial.
If your deployments are manual, your pipeline keeps failing, or your cloud bill and your architecture have both gotten out of hand — send me a message. I can usually start immediately.
