โ AWS & DevOps Engineer at Amazon
โ Kubernetes & Terraform Specialist
โ AI/ML Infrastructure (SageMaker, Bedrock)
โ 99%+ Uptime | 35% Faster Deployments | 20% Cost Reduction
Hi, Iโm Abed, a Cloud & DevOps Engineer currently working at Amazon, where I troubleshoot and optimize AWS Big Data and AI/ML services including SageMaker and Bedrock.
I donโt just build infrastructure โ I design scalable, cost-optimized, production-grade cloud systems that are secure, automated, and reliable.
If you're building a SaaS product, AI platform, startup MVP, or scaling an enterprise system โ I can architect and automate your infrastructure the right way.
๐ผ What I Do Best
โ๏ธ AWS Cloud Architecture
I design and implement secure, scalable, and cost-efficient cloud architectures on AWS using services like EC2, S3, IAM, and VPC. I specialize in building production-grade Kubernetes environments with Amazon EKS, implementing fully automated CI/CD workflows using CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, and CodePipeline, and streamlining operations through AWS Lambda automation. My approach focuses on performance optimization, security best practices, high availability, and intelligent cost-reduction strategies, ensuring your infrastructure is reliable, resilient, and future-ready.
๐ค AI/ML Cloud Infrastructure
I build and optimize AI/ML-ready cloud infrastructure on AWS, including Amazon SageMaker environment setup, model training optimization, and production deployment workflows. I also support Amazon Bedrock integrations to enable scalable generative AI solutions. By automating machine learning pipelines and high-performance data processing architectures, I ensure your AI systems are scalable, efficient, and production-ready with minimal operational overhead.
โ๏ธ DevOps & Automation
I implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, creating repeatable, scalable, and version-controlled environments. With hands-on experience managing 100+ Linux environments using Ansible, I ensure configuration consistency and operational stability. I design and maintain high-performance CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and AWS DevOps tools, enabling faster, safer, and zero-downtime deployments. My expertise in Docker containerization, Kubernetes cluster management, and GitOps practices with ArgoCD ensures efficient orchestration, scalability, and seamless release cycles.
๐ Monitoring & Reliability
I build proactive monitoring and observability systems using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, and AWS CloudWatch, ensuring complete system visibility. My focus is on achieving 99%+ uptime through performance monitoring, intelligent alerting, and incident reduction strategies. By applying Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles, I design infrastructure that minimizes downtime, improves response time, and ensures stable, high-performing production environments.

โ Strong troubleshooting mindset (Amazon-level standards)
โ Automation-first approach
โ Clear communication & documentation
โ Focused on performance, security & cost efficiency
โ Business-driven solutions, not over-engineering
๐ I Can Help You With:
I provide end-to-end AWS infrastructure solutions, specializing in building production-ready environments from the ground up through DevOps automation and EKS (Kubernetes) deployment. My expertise covers the full delivery lifecycleโfrom architecting robust CI/CD pipelines and AI/ML deployment frameworks to implementing high-fidelity monitoring and seamless AWS migrations. Every solution is engineered for peak performance and cost optimization, ensuring your cloud ecosystem is not just scalable, but fiscally efficient and easy to maintain.

Hereโs a clean, Upwork-ready rewrite you can paste into your profile. I kept it human, specific, and keyword-rich for searchโwhile showcasing your 14+ years across cloud, DevOps, and automation.
โ Cloud Architect & DevOps Engineer | AWS โข GCP โข Azure | Kubernetes โข Terraform โข CI/CD โข DevSecOps
I help companies design, secure, and automate cloud platforms that scaleโfrom zero to production and beyond.
With 14+ years across cloud engineering, DevOps architecture, and infrastructure automation, Iโve built end-to-end systems that start from a blank account and evolve into resilient, compliant, cost-efficient production environments. I work hands-on across AWS, GCP, and Azure; design robust networking (VPC/VNet, peering, VPN, Direct Connect/Interconnect, Transit); and automate everything with Terraform/Pulumi and modern CI/CD. Security and observability are baked in from day one.
What I do
Greenfield to Production: Ground-up cloud architecture, IaC, GitOps, and day-2 operations.
Secure by Design: Network segmentation, least-privilege IAM, secrets, policy as code, and DevSecOps pipelines.
Kubernetes at Scale: EKS/GKE/AKS design, cluster add-ons, multi-cluster/multi-region, HPA/VPA, autoscaling.
High Throughput Systems: Architecting for millions of requests/second with caching, queues, and horizontal scale.
Cost & Reliability: Right-sizing, spot strategy, autoscaling, SLOs, and disaster recovery runbooks.
Recent impact (high level)
Designed multi-region Kubernetes + GitOps platform to support spiky workloads with safe blue/green rollouts.
Implemented full DevSecOps pipeline (SAST/DAST/Secrets/Dependency scanning) with policy gates and audit trails.
Delivered VPC/VNet designs with private service access, egress controls, and zero-trust access patterns.
