Hire the Best Cloud Engineers
in the United Arab Emirates

With over 5 years of hands-on DevOps experience, I have architected and deployed AWS cloud solutions across Healthcare, FinTech, Social Media, and IoT industries. From migrating legacy monoliths to microservices architectures to engineering cost-effective, high-traffic social media platforms, I specialize in turning complex infrastructure challenges into streamlined, automated solutions. What I Bring to the Table: My expertise centers on creating production-ready environments that balance performance, security, and cost-efficiency. I have managed infrastructures supporting 2000+ servers across 1000+ customers, implemented zero-downtime deployment strategies, and built CI/CD pipelines that accelerate delivery while maintaining reliability. Technical Foundation: • Cloud Architecture: AWS (EC2, ECS, RDS, S3, CloudWatch, DynamoDB) • Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, CloudFormation • Containerization & Orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes • CI/CD: Jenkins, GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline, Bitbucket • Monitoring: New Relic, Datadog, CloudWatch My Approach: I believe the best infrastructure is invisible, it works seamlessly, scales automatically, and empowers development teams to focus on innovation rather than operational headaches. Whether it's reducing deployment time from hours to minutes or optimizing cloud costs by 30%, I am driven by measurable impact. Currently based in Dubai, I'm passionate about mentoring teams, embracing automation, and staying ahead of cloud technology trends. Always open to connecting with fellow DevOps professionals, cloud architects, and organizations looking to transform their infrastructure. Let's connect and explore how we can build something exceptional together.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "A+++. Highly recommended!! Nour was very responsive and dedicated himself to assisting with our AWS EC2 server migration which went smoothly and problem free. Nour was willing to chat over Zoom to facilitate quicker resolutions to the issues we were having. If you're searching for a quality Upwork professional with strong AWS, WHM and cpanel skills, look no further." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "NourEddine is a pleasure to work with. Despite our considerable timezone difference he was easy to work with. His Docker skills are next-level compared with others. Even when working slightly outside his area of expertise he proved himself innovative, adaptable, capable and persistent. Every time I came up with a new requirement, NourEddine found a solution. I'm very pleased with the end result, that being a fully functioning and well integrated production system. I can recommend NourEddine without hesitation." 🏆 Top Rated Plus • ✅ 2700+ work hours billed! • 60+ Projects 👨‍💻 Professional Linux Engineer for 6+ years with DevOps, Automation, and Cloud experience, solving problems and delivering results, for innovative startups as well as established unicorns! ● 📜👨‍💻 Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE: RHEL 8 and Ansible), Red Hat Certified Systems Administrator (RHCSA: RHEL 7), Red Hat Certified Specialist in Containers, and Terraform Certified Associate. ● ⚙️ System and software configuration, installation, deployment, optimization, troubleshooting, and automation. ● 🐧 Linux kernel management. ● OS 💿: Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Rocky Linux, Alma Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Arch Linux, Manjaro, Proxmox, OPNsense, OpenWRT, Raspberry Pi OS, TailsOS, Whonix. ● Web and Proxy services 🌐: Apache, Nginx 🄽, Squid 🦑, Varnish, HAProxy, Taefik, Caddy, 3proxy, Gost. ● Databases and Datastores 💽: MySQL🐬, MariaDB, PostgreSQL🐘, Redis, Memcached ● Self-hosted apps and Control panels: Control Webpanel (CWP), cPanel, Plesk, Webmin, Cockpit, Nextcloud, Confluence, Jira, Wekan, Focalboard, Wordpress, Matrix Synapse, Mattermost, Dokkuwiki, Git, Gitea. ● DNS: Cloudflare, PiHole, Bind, AWS Route53, experience with SPF, DMARC, DKIM, PTR records for Email services. ● EMail ✉️: Mailu, iRedmail, Modoboa, Mailman, Postfix, Dovecot. ● Automation with Bash, Python, Web scraping, Selenium, and Ansible ● Virtualization, Containers and Cloud☁️:: Docker🐋, Kubernetes☸️, Rancher, K3s, RKE, QEMU/KVM, LXC, Proxmox VE, VMware ESXi, Hashicorp Packer, Hashicorp Terraform. ● Cloud Providers ☁️: Microsoft Azure, AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean, Vultr, and Hetzner. ● Object Storage 💾: AWS S3 and Wasabi ● Secrets & Certificates 🔏: SSL Self-signed Certificate and Certificate Authority, Let's Encrypt ( ACME.sh, Certbot, others), SSH PKI, Vault. ● Networking 🕸: TCP, HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, FTP, SFTP, SMTP, IMAP, POP3, FTPS, DNS, TLS, WebSockets, Tor onion routing, ngrok, ebtables, iptables, firewalld, iproute2, NetworkManager, netplan. ● VPN 🔏: OpenVPN, Wireguard, Tinc VPN, Outline VPN, OpenConnect, Anyconnect. ● Web scraping 🌐🕷️: Python requests, scrapy, beautiful soup, lxml, selenium. ● Development with Python 🐍, Bash scripting, Flask, SQL, HTML, JQuery, and JSON. ● Packaging 📦: Rpm, Deb, and Pacman.

I am a Senior Solution Architect and Cloud Engineer with 10+ years of experience designing, modernizing, and scaling enterprise-grade SaaS, subscription, and payment platforms. I specialize in building secure, highly available, cloud-native systems that handle millions of transactions, complex integrations, and strict compliance requirements. My background spans telecom, media, digital services, and payment platforms, where I’ve led architecture and delivery for systems processing 10M+ transactions annually, supporting subscription lifecycles, digital payments, carrier billing, and multi-region deployments. I work comfortably with both technical and business stakeholders, translating product requirements into scalable, production-ready architectures. What I Do Best - Design end-to-end cloud architectures (AWS / Azure) for SaaS and enterprise platforms - Build and modernize subscription, billing, and payment systems (cards, wallets, carrier billing, vouchers) - Architect microservices and event-driven systems with high availability and fault tolerance - Lead platform migrations from third-party vendors to in-house, cloud-native solutions - Optimize cloud costs, performance, and reliability without compromising scalability - Implement PCI-DSS–compliant security architectures, API security, IAM, and encryption - Deliver clear technical documentation, diagrams, and operational runbooks for long-term maintainability Enterprise & SaaS Experience At OSN (Dubai), I served as Solution Architect for an in-house Subscription & Payment Platform (SDP) powering SVOD services. I designed a microservices-based, highly available architecture, integrated multiple regional and global payment methods, and led security and compliance initiatives resulting in 100% PCI-DSS audit compliance. My work reduced cloud infrastructure costs by 45–50%, improved transaction success rates by 18%, and cut involuntary churn by 22% through intelligent retry and recovery mechanisms. I’ve also delivered serverless and cloud-native solutions using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, SQS, ECS, and EventBridge, led data migrations, integrated third-party systems, and stabilized production platforms under real-world load. Earlier in my career, I worked on IoT and healthcare-related systems, enterprise software products, and cloud migrations, giving me a strong foundation in distributed systems, performance optimization, and secure data handling. How I Work - I bring a solution-architect mindset rather than just writing code. I focus on: - Clean, scalable system design - Security and compliance from day one - Cost awareness and operational efficiency - Clear communication and documentation - Building systems that are easy to operate, extend, and audit I’m equally comfortable designing architecture from scratch, reviewing and fixing existing systems, or acting as a technical lead/advisor for founders and engineering teams.
