Darak Ali

I’m a Senior DevOps Engineer with 5 years of experience designing, automating, and managing cloud-native infrastructure across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). I focus on building scalable, secure, and highly available production environments using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and container orchestration.

In my recent role at ZAPTA Technologies, I managed Kubernetes clusters (EKS, AKS, GKE) and improved deployment reliability through autoscaling and resource optimization. I built CI/CD pipelines that reduced release cycle time by 50–60% with automated testing, rollback strategies, and multi-environment deployment support.

I also provision infrastructure with Terraform and Ansible, cutting manual provisioning effort by 70% by automating repeatable platform work. I strengthen reliability with monitoring and observability using Prometheus, Grafana, and CloudWatch—improving incident detection time—and I partner with development teams to resolve incidents using structured troubleshooting and root cause analysis.
