Senior DevOps engineer and cloud infrastructure architect driving efficiency.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior DevOps and Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with over 9 years of experience building, automating, and operating enterprise-grade cloud platforms across fintech, banking, healthcare, and SaaS industries. I focus on architecting resilient, secure, and cost-optimized solutions using AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitOps, and CI/CD practices.
I have led zero-downtime migrations (Kafka → MSK, Elasticsearch → OpenSearch, JFrog → GitLab, Redshift → Databricks, MongoDB drivers → MSK) and delivered measurable outcomes including $90K+ annual AWS savings, 30–40% compute cost reductions, and 95% fewer deployment failures through IaC and automation. I improve observability and security posture by standardizing Datadog alerts, reducing logging volume, and migrating pipelines to IAM-based credentials to support SOC-1/SOC-2 compliance.
I am a hands-on technical leader who implements GitOps (ArgoCD), Terraform-based infrastructure, and modern CI/CD to accelerate delivery and reliability. I mentor teams, drive platform adoption (including Pakistan’s first production-grade Kubernetes at Khushhali Bank), and present regularly at DevOps and Infrastructure-as-Code events.
