☁️ Is your cloud infrastructure costing too much, scaling poorly, or lacking security?
I help startups, SaaS platforms, and enterprises design, automate, and secure cloud infrastructure so they can scale faster, cut costs, and stay compliant. With 5+ years of Cloud & DevOps experience, I’ve delivered production-ready environments across AWS, Azure, and GCP, enabling businesses to achieve 99.99% uptime, strong security, and cost savings of up to 40%.
👨💻 Who I Am
I’m Mirza Munib, a Cloud Engineer & DevOps Specialist. My work combines:
Cloud Engineering → designing scalable architectures on AWS, Azure, and GCP.
DevOps Engineering → building CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes clusters, and Terraform-based automation.
Cloud Security → IAM, VPC, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR compliance.
Site Reliability (SRE) → ensuring high availability, disaster recovery, and monitoring.
I don’t just build systems — I deliver secure, automated, and future-proof solutions that match your business needs.
⚙️ Core Expertise
Cloud Platforms: AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, CloudFront), Azure (vNET, AKS, Functions), GCP (GKE, Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, Compute Engine).
Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, Terragrunt, CloudFormation, Pulumi.
Containerization: Docker, Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, AKS, ECS for Kubernetes), Helm, GitOps.
CI/CD Automation: Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD, Azure DevOps.
Cloud Security: IAM, VPN, VPC, OS hardening, firewalls, SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA.
Monitoring & Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Loki, CloudWatch, Stackdriver, Azure Monitor.
Linux Systems: Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat, CentOS, Amazon Linux 2.

🌍 Industries I’ve Helped
SaaS Platforms → scaling MVPs into enterprise-level infra.
Healthcare & Fintech → compliance-driven cloud environments.
E-Commerce → handling millions of users during high-traffic sales events.
AI/ML Startups → deploying GPU clusters & integrating AI into production.
✅ Why Clients Hire Me
5+ years of hands-on cloud & DevOps experience.
Strong focus on cost optimization, security, and scalability.
End-to-end ownership: design → automation → monitoring.
Deliverables always include documentation, diagrams, and Loom walkthroughs.
I align infrastructure to your business goals, not just technical specs.

I'm a DevOps Engineer, full-stack developer, and cybersecurity analyst with over 6 years of hands-on experience building, securing, and operating production systems end-to-end. I work across the full lifecycle , from infrastructure provisioning and CI/CD pipelines to backend services, frontend interfaces, and security audits so a single engagement can cover what would otherwise need three specialists.
My core stack spans three domains:
DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure - Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and Ansible; CI/CD pipeline engineering on GitLab CI (also Azure DevOps); secrets management and PKI with HashiCorp Vault; full LGTM observability stack (Grafana, Loki, Tempo, Mimir, Prometheus) with OpenTelemetry instrumentation; container deployment with Docker and Podman; hybrid cloud + on-prem operations across Proxmox and Azure; zone-segmented networking with deny-by-default firewall, WireGuard, Tailscale, and Cloudflare edge.
Full-Stack Development - React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, and C++; modern UI work with Tailwind, GSAP, and Radix/shadcn; REST and GraphQL APIs; databases including PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, MySQL, and Redis.
Cybersecurity - penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, and security audits using Kali Linux, Metasploit, and Burp Suite. Security-first mindset applied across every layer of the work — from VLAN design to application code.
What sets me apart is the range: I can take an idea from architecture and Terraform modules through to a hardened, monitored, deployable production system — without handing off to a different specialist at each layer.
Available for:
- DevOps & SRE engagements - Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD pipeline design, observability rollouts, secrets/PKI implementation
- Cloud migration and hybrid cloud architecture (Azure + on-prem, container platforms)
- Full-stack web application development (React / Next.js + Node.js / TypeScript)
- Cybersecurity assessments and penetration testing
- Database design, optimization, and management
- System administration and IT support
- Mobile application development
- AI/ML integration projects
