I help SaaS teams and growing businesses build scalable, secure, and automated DevOps environments that just work. I’m Hassan, a DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with 6+ years of hands on experience designing and optimizing production systems across AWS, GCP, Azure, and DigitalOcean. I specialize in building reliable infrastructure, automating deployments, and improving performance without unnecessary complexity. Recently, I’ve also been helping teams deploy self hosted AI infrastructure and automation systems using tools like Docker, Kubernetes, Ollama, and modern AI frameworks. This includes setting up private LLM environments, AI workflows, and scalable GPU-ready systems. What I deliver: • Production ready AWS and Azure infrastructure • Kubernetes clusters designed for scalability and uptime • Clean Docker based application deployments • CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and ArgoCD • Self hosted AI systems using Ollama and open source models • AI automation tools deployment (including OpenClaw setups) • Secure database migrations across MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB • Monitoring and observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK • Performance optimization for WordPress, Laravel, and SaaS applications • Cloud cost optimization and system hardening I’ve helped teams: • Reduce deployment time dramatically through automation • Improve system uptime and reliability • Migrate workloads safely to cloud environments • Deploy private AI systems with full data control • Eliminate manual operational bottlenecks My approach is simple: clean architecture, strong automation, high availability, and systems that scale without breaking. If you need someone who understands both infrastructure and real production pressure, and can also help you move into AI powered systems and self hosted solutions, let’s talk.

As an AWS-certified DevOps and cloud security engineer, I help startups, fintech companies, and AI/ML platforms build secure, compliant, production-grade AWS infrastructure — including the AI infrastructure layer most DevOps engineers haven't touched yet: LLM inference endpoints, RAG pipelines, and GPU-backed compute. With certifications in AWS DevOps Engineer – Professional, AWS Security – Specialty, AWS CloudOps Engineer – Associate, and AWS Solutions Architect – Professional (in progress), your infrastructure is in capable, currently-certified hands. WHAT I DO BEST AI/ML Infrastructure on AWS I deploy fine-tuned LLM inference endpoints across GPU instance families, build RAG knowledge bases using Amazon Bedrock and pgvector, and stand up Feature Stores for ML pipelines — all on Terraform, all production-grade. If your platform runs AI workloads, I build the infrastructure underneath the model. Enterprise Cloud Foundation & Governance I establish AWS cloud foundations using Control Tower and Landing Zone with automated multi-account environments and security guardrails — Security Hub, GuardDuty, AWS Config, CloudTrail, and SCPs. This significantly eases SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA audit preparation through automated compliance evidence. Security-First Infrastructure VPC isolation, least-privilege IAM, secrets management, and encryption everywhere. A recent project passed a SOC 2 audit with zero infrastructure findings, built in from day one. Cloud Migrations & Containerization I migrate applications from on-premises and legacy clouds (GCP, Azure) to AWS with zero downtime — deploying to ECS/Fargate, EKS, or traditional EC2, with a focus on cost efficiency and security. Infrastructure as Code Everything is Terraform-based, version-controlled, and reproducible — multi-account Control Tower setups, VPC architectures, IAM policies, all defined as code with peer review. CI/CD & Production Reliability Deployment pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, AWS CodePipeline) that cut deployment time from hours to minutes, with automated testing and rollback. Designed for 99.99% uptime through Multi-AZ deployments and auto-scaling. RECENT RESULTS - Architected GCP-to-AWS migration for an AI/ML fintech platform — 5 fine-tuned LLM inference endpoints across GPU instance families, RAG knowledge base on pgvector, full Terraform IaC - Deployed a containerized Spring Boot app on ECS Fargate with Control Tower multi-account setup, Security Hub, GuardDuty, Config, and CloudTrail across dev/staging/prod - Migrated a payment platform to AWS — 99.99% uptime, handled 10x traffic spikes, 40% cost reduction - Delivered enterprise Landing Zone migration framework for 85 applications, 450 VMs, 55 databases - Automated deployments from 2 hours to 15 minutes with improved security posture TECH STACK AWS AI/ML: Amazon Bedrock, Amazon SageMaker, RAG pipelines, pgvector, Feature Store, GPU instances AWS Governance & Security: Control Tower, Organizations, Security Hub, GuardDuty, Config, CloudTrail, IAM, Secrets Manager, KMS, WAF AWS Infrastructure: ECS/Fargate, EC2, Lambda, RDS, DynamoDB, S3, VPC, CloudFront, ALB/NLB, Auto Scaling Containers & Orchestration: Docker, ECS/Fargate, Kubernetes/EKS, ECR Infrastructure as Code: Terraform (5+ years), CloudFormation, AWS CDK CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline/CodeBuild/CodeDeploy Databases: RDS (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server), DynamoDB, MongoDB/DocumentDB Monitoring: CloudWatch, CloudTrail, VPC Flow Logs, Security Hub, Config Scripting: Python, Bash, Shell WHO I WORK WITH - AI/ML platforms needing production-grade inference and RAG infrastructure - Startups preparing for SOC 2 certification - Fintech companies needing secure infrastructure for financial data - Healthcare/SaaS companies requiring HIPAA-ready environments - Companies migrating from on-premises, GCP, or Azure to AWS - Enterprises needing multi-account AWS governance WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT Most DevOps engineers deploy applications. I build enterprise security foundations — and the AI infrastructure layer most of them haven't touched yet. You get: ✓ AI/ML infrastructure built by someone who understands both the model and the cloud underneath it ✓ Security and compliance built in from day one ✓ Automated audit evidence collection ✓ Multi-account governance preventing drift ✓ Clear documentation and knowledge transfer Looking for secure, audit-ready AWS infrastructure — or AI/ML platform infrastructure that actually scales? Let's talk.

I harden and scale RHEL/Ubuntu fleets with Ansible and build Proxmox & K8s clusters. I fix incidents fast then automate the fix so it doesn’t return. 12+ years in Linux/DevOps and security. I design, migrate, and stabilize critical systems for SMBs and enterprises (cloud and on-prem). I turn vague problems into a crisp plan, then ship working infrastructure with docs and handoff.
