I build, secure, and scale production-ready cloud architecture that cuts infrastructure costs and deployment times, backed by 9+ years of enterprise experience.
As a Senior DevOps & DevSecOps Engineer and former Deloitte tech lead, I don't just spin up environments. I architect resilient, zero-trust, production-grade cloud infrastructures engineered for massive scale and strict security audits.
If your current infrastructure is manual, fragile, or bleeding money, I can step in to automate and stabilize it.
High-Impact Results I Deliver:
• Optimized complex environments to slash AWS infrastructure costs by 40% while maintaining maximum performance SLAs.
• Streamlined deployment pipelines to accelerate delivery cycles and cut deployment duration by 40%.
• Integrated advanced automated tooling (SAST/DAST/SCA) directly into pipelines to hit 95% vulnerability detection coverage.
Core Bottlenecks I Solve For You:
▸ Fix Broken Pipelines: Repair failing CI/CD infrastructure and speed up lagging release tracks.
▸ Production Kubernetes: Design, deploy, and debug rock-solid cluster environments (EKS, AKS, GKE).
▸ Automate via Code: Eliminate manual human errors by building clean, dry, maintainable Terraform and Terragrunt configurations.
▸ Security & Secrets Hardening: Implement zero-trust access, secure secrets management (HashiCorp Vault), and prepare systems for strict compliance (ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA).
Deep Technical Toolbox:
◦ Cloud Platforms: AWS (Advanced) , Azure , GCP.
◦ Containers & Orchestration: Kubernetes (CKA Certified) , Docker , Helm.
◦ Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Terraform , Terragrunt , Ansible.
◦ CI/CD & GitOps: GitLab CI , GitHub Actions, Jenkins , Azure DevOps , Argo CD.
◦ DevSecOps & Secrets: SonarQube , Snyk , PrismaCloud , HashiCorp Vault.
◦ Observability: Prometheus , Grafana , ELK Stack , Datadog.
Why Clients Hire Me:
✦ Production-First Mindset: Everything is built cleanly with real-world traffic, high availability, and security in mind.
✦ Elite Certifications: Credentialed as an AWS Certified DevOps Professional , Azure DevOps Engineer Expert , and Google Cloud Professional DevOps Engineer.
✦ Fast Execution: Based out of Dubai (UAE Golden Visa Holder) , operating on flexible hours to fully support global team schedules.
