Shahid Affan Sheik Dawood

I’m a results-driven B.E. ECE graduate (2026) with hands-on experience in Cloud Operations, Infrastructure Automation, and Containerization. I build reliable systems with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform and Ansible, and I emphasize monitoring from day one through automated observability stacks.

In my automated monitoring and containerized infrastructure stack project, I provisioned and configured 3 AWS EC2 instances using Terraform and Ansible, reducing manual setup time by ~70%. I also orchestrated an observability stack with Docker Compose—integrating Prometheus and Grafana—and built a custom Python/Bash alerting bot delivering critical Discord Webhook alerts with sub-30-second latency.

I maintain a CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions to automate testing and deployment of monitoring configuration changes, improving deployment reliability. I’ve also supported real operations as a server administrator—achieving 100% system availability during peak registration through proactive monitoring, capacity planning, security hardening, and rapid incident response.
