Umair Younas
@umairyounas
Senior DevOps Engineer specializing in AWS multi-cloud automation, secure IaC, and Kubernetes CI/CD.
What I'm looking for
I’m an AWS Certified DevOps Engineer with 7+ years of experience designing, automating, deploying, and securing enterprise cloud infrastructure across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). I focus on Infrastructure as Code, Kubernetes-based delivery, and CI/CD automation that teams can rely on in production.
I’ve led enterprise cloud migration and infrastructure modernization, including moving applications from Microsoft Azure to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and containerizing workloads for Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS. I’ve built CI/CD pipelines with GitLab CI, Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline, and AWS CodeBuild, and I’ve used reusable Terraform modules and CloudFormation templates to standardize provisioning and speed up delivery.
Security, compliance, and reliability are core to how I work. I design least-privilege IAM, secure networking with VPC/VPN and FortiGate integration, and disaster recovery strategies including Blue-Green and rolling deployments—supporting standards like PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and NIST.
I also bring strong observability and operational discipline, configuring monitoring and centralized logging with CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, and the ELK stack, plus alerting and production support practices with Agile/Scrum teams. I’ve delivered measurable impact by reducing deployment times by 70% and lowering cloud infrastructure costs by 40%, while helping teams migrate monoliths toward microservices.
