What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and operate resilient cloud platforms, with responsibility for automation, observability, scaling, and incident response in high-traffic production environments.

At Tapmad, I manage AWS infrastructure for a live sports streaming platform serving more than 700,000 concurrent users during major cricket events. I lead autoscaling, capacity planning, production incident response, and edge delivery across CloudFront and Cloudflare.

I've migrated production workloads from Elastic Beanstalk to Amazon EKS, built centralized logging with Grafana Loki and Promtail, and standardized deployments with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD. My background spans 24/7 NOC operations, cloud monitoring, Linux systems, network infrastructure, and automation with Bash and Python.
