Aladdin Nawasreh
@aladdinnawasreh
Platform Architect with 12+ years building scalable Kubernetes infrastructure and FinOps-driven systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Platform Architect with 12+ years of experience designing scalable, distributed systems and leading high-performing infrastructure teams. I engineer highly scalable infrastructure and align technical roadmaps with overarching business goals—bridging technical execution with business strategy while focusing on release velocity, maintainability, cost optimization, enterprise security, and applied AI integration.
At Wiley, I’ve built cloud-native infrastructure for the Wiley Research Exchange platform using Kubernetes and advanced CI/CD, including GitOps/IaC automation across 40 multi-tier environments. I drive enterprise FinOps by reducing the total AWS bill by 40%, create ephemeral “Environment-on-Demand” platforms to boost developer velocity and eliminate idle resource costs, and modernize infrastructure by integrating LLM/agentic AI and advanced microservices connectivity to unlock next-generation business capabilities.
