Ikram-ul -haq

I’m a DevOps Engineer with 4+ years of hands-on experience designing, automating, and maintaining production-grade infrastructure. I focus on Kubernetes (on-premises & AWS EKS), GitOps workflows with ArgoCD, and CI/CD pipeline engineering to improve deployment reliability and consistency.

In my current role at XFLOW RESEARCH (PVT.) LTD., I managed on-premises Kubernetes and AWS EKS environments, supporting production services with 99.9%+ uptime. I also architected and administered OpenShift clusters on bare-metal (Dell PowerEdge 15G) and automated end-to-end pipelines (build, test, security scan, deploy) using Jenkins and ArgoCD, reducing manual deployments by ~70%.

I bring an automation-first mindset across Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, observability with Prometheus & Grafana, and security with least-privilege RBAC/IAM controls and DevSecOps scanning (Trivy, OWASP) in CI/CD. I’ve also designed backup and disaster recovery strategies and automated operational tasks using Python and Bash to raise validation accuracy by 30%—supported by CKAD certification from the Linux Foundation.
