DevOps/SRE Engineer

Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) and DevOps Engineer with 3+ years scaling cloud-native infrastructure on AWS, Azure, and GCP. I specialize in container orchestration, GitOps delivery, and Infrastructure as Code with a production track record of 2,000+ daily CI/CD builds at 99.9% uptime across 400+ microservices.

Ex Mentor at MLSA UET Lahore

As a DevOps Mentor at MLSA UET Lahore New Campus, I design and deliver hands-on training that turns aspiring engineers into job-ready practitioners. Across 50+ hours of instruction, I guide cohorts through Linux internals, system administration, container orchestration, and CI/CD designs. My focus is translating complex infrastructure concepts into practical skill, preparing students for industry and DevOps roles.

My Journey

3+ years in IT, and I still get hooked on hard problems. My foundation is heavy duty DevOps scaling cloud platforms, managing microservices, and enforcing strict IaC and observability. I love learning offensive security as a hobby, which helps me build secure systems. Now, I’m diving deep into AI/ML to build and train my own models specifically designed to optimize and automate complex DevOps workflows. As a side-quest, I am grinding through HTB CPTS. Oh, and I love coffee.
