• Operate and maintain multi-cloud production infrastructure spanning AWS, Azure, GCP, Hetzner, on-premises servers, and VPS, standardizing deployment patterns across environments to reduce configuration drift and improve operational consistency.
• Design and run 10 production Kubernetes clusters (EKS, AKS, GKE) including dedicated GPU node pools for AI/ML workloads, applying Cluster Autoscaler, HPA, VPA, resource quotas, and multi-tenant configurations to improve resource utilization and reduce idle compute costs.
• Implemented expert-level CI/CD pipelines across GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, and Azure DevOps with integrated security scanning, SBOM generation, and supply chain validation, shortening release cycles while strengthening compliance posture.
• Rolled out GitOps workflows using ArgoCD with ApplicationSets and progressive delivery across multiple environments, replacing manual deployment steps with automated sync strategies and reducing deployment-related incidents.
• Designed enterprise AWS architectures (VPC, Transit Gateway, Multi-AZ/Multi-Region, IAM, Organizations, SCPs) to support disaster recovery and high availability requirements for production workloads.
• Built end-to-end observability stacks using Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and Loki; defined SLIs, SLOs, and Error Budgets, and led incident management processes that improved mean time to detection and resolution for production issues.
• Enforced DevSecOps practices across the full stack — container image scanning (Trivy), Kubernetes RBAC, Network Policies, OPA/Gatekeeper admission controllers, and HashiCorp Vault for secrets management — closing security gaps identified in audits and reducing attack surface.
• Provisioned all infrastructure as code using Terraform and CloudFormation, enabling consistent, auditable, and repeatable deployments and cutting manual provisioning time.
• Reduced cloud spend through reserved instances, spot instances, right-sizing, and event-driven autoscaling across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
• Built and operated Internal Developer Platforms using Backstage and Crossplane, establishing golden paths and self-service infrastructure that cut new-environment provisioning time for development teams from days to hours.
• Operate AI/ML infrastructure including GPU workloads on Kubernetes, model serving with KServe, experiment tracking with MLflow, and pipeline orchestration via Kubeflow, with integration support for SageMaker, Azure ML, and GCP AI Platform.

Linux System & DevOps Engineer - GlowLogix at NUST University, Islamabad - Islamabad

(2022-02 - 2023-08)

• Automated CI/CD pipelines for Laravel and Vue.js applications using Jenkins, eliminating manual deployment steps and reducing release turnaround time.
• Orchestrated containerized application deployments using Kubernetes and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), improving deployment consistency across environments.
• Managed Linux server infrastructure (RHEL/CentOS) including patching, upgrades, and hardening, alongside Nginx/Apache web servers and LAMP-stack Laravel deployments, maintaining system uptime and security compliance.
• Administered Azure infrastructure including VMs, App Services, firewall/security configuration, and Active Directory Domain Services, supporting university-wide application availability.
• Managed Oracle, MySQL, and PostgreSQL databases — including backup, restoration, access control, and performance tuning — to ensure data integrity and minimize downtime.
• Conducted regular VA/PT remediation cycles and antivirus/patch management across Linux/Unix and VMware systems, reducing security exposure.

Database Consultant - Jaffer Business Systems

(2020-03 - 2022-02)

• Managed incident resolution via ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus, maintaining SLA-aligned response times for database-related issues.
• Performed database backup, restoration, and access/security management, and used Data Pump for data import/export operations supporting business continuity.
• Patched and upgraded Linux servers (RHEL/CentOS) and managed Active Directory Domain Services, ensuring consistent system availability.
• Led VA/PT remediation cycles to address vulnerabilities identified in periodic security assessments.
