What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can grow into CI/CD pipelines and DevOps/SRE practices, working with reliable infrastructure, monitoring, and automation. I want hands-on ownership and continuous improvement in an international environment.

I’m a Cloud & Network engineering graduate and a Junior Cloud/DevOps engineer focused on infrastructure automation, virtualization, and system reliability. Through my final-year work, I learned how to design for availability and validate it with real resilience testing, not just theory.

In my final-year project at Tunisie Telecom, I designed and deployed a highly available cloud infrastructure by building a 3-node Proxmox VE cluster on Huawei Cloud. I combined multiple high-availability mechanisms—Proxmox HA with Ceph, ZFS replication, and Keepalived with VIP availability, and I implemented backups with Proxmox Backup Server plus a disaster-recovery script that extended beyond the original scope.

I’ve also strengthened my foundations with internships and production-adjacent experience—deploying and hardening an ERP on Linux with PostgreSQL and Tomcat, and automating an AWS cloud architecture with Terraform and CloudWatch. Outside the core IT track, I’ve worked as a Home Automation Integrator installing and supporting KNX/Zigbee/Wi‑Fi systems, which sharpened my practical troubleshooting and client-ready reliability mindset.
