🔹 5 Years Experience| 🔹 100% JSS | 🔹Deployed Enterprise Infrastructure | 🔹 20+ Nvidia GPUs cluster Deployed | 🔹 30+ Kubernetes GPU Clusters Deployed | 🔹 50+ LLMs deployments | 🔹 20+ AI Servers Designed & Deployed | I wrote the IaC for GPU cluster orchestration on KAUST Shaheen III, the Middle East's #1 supercomputer (ranked 18th globally). That's the level of GPU and LLM infrastructure I work on, on-prem and in the cloud. 📌 What I'm an expert in: 🔹Self-hosted & local LLM serving (vLLM, NVIDIA Triton, TensorRT, SGLang) 🔹GPU inference optimization (FP8/INT8 quantization, FlashAttention, tensor parallelism, MIG on H100/A100/GH200/Blackwell) 🔹LLM fine-tuning & customization (LoRA, PEFT, Unsloth, domain adaptation) 🔹Bare-metal GPU Kubernetes (Proxmox, Rancher, K3s, OpenShift, Calico, MetalLB, HAProxy) 🔹Managed cloud Kubernetes with GPU (GKE, EKS, AKS, Vertex AI, SageMaker, Cloud Run) 🔹NVIDIA GPU Operator, Kubeflow, Ray, Triton Inference Server, custom K8s operators (I built VRAM GPU Operator + Aliyun GPU Resource Manager for Kubeflow) 🔹Private & on-prem LLM deployments (HIPAA, GDPR, air-gapped, regulated teams) 🔹Heterogeneous HPC & AI infrastructure (GPU, FPGA, ASIC, XPU, multi-accelerator scheduling) 🔹AI agents & orchestration (LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI, Claude Agent SDK, MCP servers) 🔹Voice agent infrastructure (Retell AI, Vapi, Twilio, ElevenLabs, n8n, WhatsApp integrations) 🔹RAG & document intelligence (Docling, Microsoft GraphRAG, pgvector, FAISS, Pinecone, Qdrant, ChromaDB) 🔹Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi, Crossplane, Helm) 🔹CI/CD for ML/AI (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, ArgoCD, Flux) 🔹Observability for AI workloads (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Datadog, OpenTelemetry) 🔹Cloud spend optimization for AI infrastructure 📌 Real results, defensible on a call: 🔹Cut vLLM inference latency from 3.2s to 800ms at a US startup 🔹Dropped their monthly cloud bill from $10K to $4K 🔹Served LLMs to 1,000+ concurrent users on bare-metal Kubernetes, zero unplanned downtime for 12 months 🔹Shipped the Docling + GraphRAG pipeline for commercial real estate lease analysis at Nestbox AI, deployed on GCP with a human review queue 📌 What clients say: "single-handedly built our Kubernetes infrastructure for our GPU setup" "a full stack AI guy" "energetic, hungry, and sharp" "gets concepts quickly and is an incredibly hard worker" "when he says he'll do it by a deadline, he does. Owns accountability" "approaches the project as if it were his own" "worked late into the night to get it done" "delivered what he promised and provided clear documentation" "incredibly efficient, addressed every concern in 30 minutes" "a safe bet" A bit about me: I'm Acting CTO at Peregrine Ventures AI, currently building a product called Deplexify. I also run a dual RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell server at home (EPYC, Proxmox, GPU passthrough), so on-prem GPU work isn't a side skill. It's my daily reality.

Need a reliable infrastructure expert to design, migrate, automate, secure, or optimize your environment? I can help. I’m Mohammed Faisal, a Senior Infrastructure & DevOps Engineer and Founder & CEO of OpsNexus, with 6+ years of hands-on experience designing, deploying, migrating, and managing production infrastructure for businesses around the world. I help companies move away from fragile, expensive, and overly complex infrastructure and replace it with secure, scalable, highly available environments that are easier to manage. Whether you need a complete infrastructure transformation or support with a specific technical challenge, I can take the project from architecture and planning through implementation, documentation, monitoring, automation, and ongoing support. If you want your business to: ✓ Reduce VMware and cloud infrastructure costs ✓ Build a private or hybrid cloud environment ✓ Migrate workloads to Proxmox, OpenStack, or CloudStack ✓ Improve high availability and disaster recovery ✓ Automate infrastructure deployment and documentation ✓ Implement centralized monitoring and alerting ✓ Secure and segment production environments ✓ Improve backup, replication, and recovery strategies ✓ Build scalable virtualization and container platforms I can help. My core areas of expertise include: √ Proxmox VE, Proxmox Backup Server & Ceph √ VMware vSphere / ESXi migrations √ Hyper-V virtualization √ OpenStack & Apache CloudStack √ Private Cloud & Hybrid Cloud Architecture √ Kubernetes & Container Infrastructure √ Linux & Windows Server Administration √ High Availability & Disaster Recovery √ Infrastructure Automation & GitOps √ Terraform, Ansible & Packer √ NetBox Infrastructure Documentation √ Zabbix, Grafana & Prometheus Monitoring √ Azure & AWS Infrastructure √ Network Segmentation, VLANs & VPNs √ WireGuard, Firewalling & Zero-Trust Access √ Backup Architecture & Replication √ Infrastructure Security & Hardening I specialize in designing environments where infrastructure is not simply “working” — it is structured, documented, monitored, recoverable, and ready to scale. Some of the projects I work on include: • VMware-to-Proxmox migrations with minimal downtime • Multi-node Proxmox and Ceph clusters • Production private-cloud platforms • Multi-region and hybrid-cloud environments • Automated Proxmox-to-NetBox asset discovery • Infrastructure-as-Code deployment pipelines • Proxmox Backup Server and off-site DR architecture • Automated VM discovery and monitoring through Zabbix • Grafana infrastructure dashboards • Windows and Linux template automation using Packer • Kubernetes infrastructure deployment and operations • Secure remote administration environments • Business continuity and disaster-recovery planning Over the years, I’ve worked across 120+ infrastructure projects, managed environments containing thousands of servers and virtual machines, and supported more than 50 clients across different industries. I approach infrastructure projects from a business perspective as well as a technical one. The objective is not to introduce unnecessary technology. The objective is to build an environment that gives your business: ✓ Better reliability ✓ Lower infrastructure costs ✓ Faster recovery ✓ Stronger security ✓ Easier management ✓ Better visibility ✓ Clear documentation ✓ Room to scale As Founder & CEO of OpsNexus, I also work with businesses that need complete infrastructure architecture and implementation — from initial assessment through production deployment. My typical workflow includes: 1. Infrastructure assessment 2. Architecture and migration planning 3. Risk and dependency identification 4. Implementation and testing 5. Monitoring and backup configuration 6. Security hardening 7. Documentation and diagrams 8. Knowledge transfer and ongoing support I’m comfortable working with existing internal IT teams, MSPs, CTOs, founders, and engineering teams, and I can communicate both detailed technical information and high-level infrastructure strategy clearly. Technology I regularly work with: Proxmox | VMware | Ceph | OpenStack | CloudStack | Hyper-V | Kubernetes | Docker | Azure | AWS | Linux | Windows Server | Terraform | Ansible | Packer | GitLab CI/CD | NetBox | Zabbix | Grafana | Prometheus | Nginx | HAProxy | WireGuard | Cloudflare If you are planning a migration, building a private cloud, improving your disaster recovery strategy, reducing virtualization costs, automating your infrastructure, or simply want an expert to review your current environment, I’d be happy to discuss it. Send me a message with a brief description of your infrastructure and the problem you’re trying to solve. I’ll help you determine the most practical way forward.
