I stop infrastructure bleeding. If your AWS/K8s setup is burning cash or failing deployments, I stabilise, secure, and automate your architecture to slash costs by 40% fast, 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. Let's build a secure, scalable system together. Click the "Message" or "Invite to Job" button, share your current infrastructure pain points, and I'll outline a clear technical approach for you.

I help founders and businesses build AI-powered SaaS products, internal platforms, and backend systems that are designed for real users, real workloads, and long-term growth. Most software projects fail because teams focus on code before understanding the business process. My approach is different: first we define the workflow, users, integrations, and operational requirements. Then I design and build the system so it remains reliable when customers, data, and usage grow. Throughout my career I've worked on scalable cloud systems, authentication platforms, SaaS products, workflow automation tools, and AI-enabled applications using AWS and TypeScript. Whether you're launching a new product, modernizing internal operations, or integrating AI into an existing platform, I can help take the project from architecture to production. How I Work I combine strong software architecture practices with modern AI-assisted development workflows to accelerate delivery without compromising quality, maintainability, or long-term scalability. AI is integrated throughout planning, implementation, testing, documentation, and code reviews where it creates a clear advantage. This allows me to move faster on repetitive engineering tasks while keeping human oversight on architecture, security, business logic, and critical technical decisions. I work with modern AI development workflows, including AI coding assistants, agent-based tooling, retrieval systems, MCP-based integrations, and AI-powered automation pipelines. However, I view these as productivity tools—not substitutes for sound engineering judgment. For clients, this typically means: • Faster development cycles • Reduced implementation costs • Better documentation and maintainability • Quicker prototyping and iteration • More focus on solving business problems instead of repetitive engineering work What I Build AI-Powered SaaS Products AI-enabled applications and platforms AI agents and workflow automation Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems Knowledge bases and document intelligence OpenAI and Claude integrations Multi-step agent workflows Backend Systems & SaaS Architecture Node.js and TypeScript backends NestJS applications Multi-tenant SaaS platforms Scalable REST APIs Authentication and authorization systems Event-driven architectures Enterprise workflow platforms AWS Cloud & Serverless Systems I design systems that remain maintainable and cost-effective as usage grows rather than requiring expensive rewrites later. Typical Projects AI chatbots integrated into existing products SaaS MVPs built for launch and future scaling Internal business platforms replacing spreadsheets and manual workflows Scheduling and operational systems Customer portals and self-service platforms API-heavy applications with multiple third-party integrations AI-powered document and knowledge management systems Technologies Backend: Node.js, TypeScript, NestJS Cloud: AWS Serverless, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, EventBridge, SQS, Cognito, S3, SES, CloudWatch, OpenSearch Databases & Search: DynamoDB, PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, Supabase AI: OpenAI, Claude, LangChain, RAG Architectures, AI Agents Integrations: OAuth, OpenID Connect, Cognito, Webhooks, Third-Party APIs Who I Work Best With SaaS founders Startup teams Growing businesses replacing manual processes Companies adding AI capabilities to existing products Teams that need both technical architecture and implementation If you're building a SaaS product, AI-enabled platform, workflow system, or custom business software, send me a brief overview of what you're building, who will use it, and your target timeline.
