What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build secure, reliable cloud platforms and developer tooling where CI/CD, Kubernetes, cost efficiency, and operational resilience create leverage across engineering teams.

At Laam, Pakistan’s largest fashion marketplace, I operate a 40+ service Python monorepo on GCP for 30 engineers. I cut Docker build times from five minutes to about 50 seconds, reduced per-service CVEs by about 90%, and lowered total GCP spend by 42%.

I’ve built GitHub Actions and Pants CI/CD pipelines that run only affected tests and builds, introduced zero-rebuild Cloud Deploy promotions with automatic rollbacks, and rolled out Workload Identity Federation to eliminate long-lived service account keys. I also completed a zero-downtime migration of a 5TB production database using GCP DMS.

Previously at Dglobal Dcore, I built cloud-agnostic Kubernetes platforms across seven customer environments, automated GitOps provisioning to reduce onboarding from three weeks to two days, and developed observability and deployment tooling used by developers. I also publish open-source CI tooling and contributed a fix to Poetry authentication for private registries.
