@samiahmed2
Senior DevOps Engineer at White elephants Technologies securing Azure infrastructure and engineering data platforms processing 76M+ records.
What I'm looking for
At White elephants Technologies, I own cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, security, and production data platforms for US clients. I hardened Azure environments with private networking, Key Vault, and least-privilege access.
I built an Azure Data Factory ELT platform processing 76M+ records for a 21-location US retail chain, and migrated more than 50 tables from Redshift to Azure SQL. Its incremental loads use watermark tracking and audit logging.
At Devsinc, I delivered cloud migrations and Kubernetes platforms for healthcare, fintech, and SaaS clients. I led SOC 2 and HIPAA initiatives and built DevSecOps pipelines with SonarQube, Qualys, and OPA/Rego.
I also designed multi-cloud disaster recovery and high availability, and worked on observability, progressive delivery, and FinOps automation. I'm building AI infrastructure with MLOps pipelines, vector databases, RAG architectures, and LLM-driven automation.
