What I'm looking for

I seek a role focused on reliability, observability, and cloud infrastructure where I can reduce outages, implement robust monitoring, and grow my cloud and SRE expertise.

I am a Site Reliability and Systems Engineer with hands-on experience designing, deploying, and operating cloud-based infrastructure and monitoring systems. I have practical experience with AWS services, Kubernetes, and enterprise monitoring and logging tools.

At Noon Payments I improved service resilience by designing metrics, monitoring, and logging systems on AWS, presenting architecture choices, and driving contingencies to eliminate service disruptions. I proactively monitored availability and performance for cloud products and responded to incidents and alerts across multiple channels.

Previously at Caastle India and Xavient Digital I maintained high availability for networks and web servers, implemented and managed monitoring solutions (Zabbix, Nagios, Kibana), and supported Unix/Linux administration, backup, storage, and hardware incident response. I also have experience with CI/testing tooling, AD account management, and basic SQL.

I am motivated to join a team where I can continue reducing outages, improving observability, and scaling reliable cloud services while learning new technologies and contributing to operational excellence.
