@mohamadal-yamani
IT Operations Engineer specializing in AWS, automation, and scalable monitoring to improve uptime and delivery.
What I'm looking for
I am an IT Operations Engineer with 8+ years' experience designing and operating AWS-based infrastructure and IaaS/IaC solutions for multinational environments. I focus on performance optimization, automation, and reliable enterprise system administration.
At Tradias I reduced system downtime by 30% through an automation framework using Ansible and AWS Lambda, and improved monitoring efficiency by 25% via CloudWatch and ArgoCD-driven CI/CD practices.
Previously I led engineering teams at HedgeGuard and BLOM Bank, achieving 99.9% and 99.8% uptime respectively, implementing disaster recovery for MSSQL, and deploying VDI solutions across multiple datacenters and countries.
I emphasize proactive monitoring (Kibana, Elasticsearch, Grafana, Prometheus, Loki), automation with Terraform/Ansible and Python (Boto3), and strong collaboration using the Atlassian stack to accelerate resolution times and streamline operations.
