Abdur Raafeh Mahmood
@raafehmahmood
DevOps Engineer and Python backend developer, building scalable, secure, automated infrastructure.
What I'm looking for
I’m an experienced DevOps Engineer with 6+ years of expertise in Python backend development, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps. I design and implement scalable, secure systems for startups and enterprises, focusing on production-ready reliability and automation that improves efficiency.
Most recently, I standardize and operate a multi-cloud Kubernetes platform on AWS and Azure—creating reproducible clusters and enforcing guardrails like parameter schemas, pre-flight checks, and policy gates. Previously, I automated cloud infrastructure with Terraform (cutting deployment time from 1 week to under 1 hour on GCP), built CI/CD with GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps, and maintained security and compliance including SOC2 Type 1.
