Adeel Shafi
@adeelshafi
Experienced DevOps consultant specializing in Azure, Kubernetes, and observability solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced DevOps consultant with deep expertise in Azure cloud services, hybrid cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, and the Elastic Stack. I have designed and deployed production-grade IaC using Terraform, automated CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps and GitLab, and implemented centralized observability with Elastic (ELK) including APM, Kibana dashboards, ILM, and Watcher alerts.
My work spans cross-cloud integrations, air-gapped enterprise Elastic deployments, and high-availability Kubernetes platforms for banking and enterprise clients. I focus on reusable, secure Infrastructure-as-Code, automated policy enforcement, and scalable monitoring solutions that improve reliability, security, and operational visibility.
