DevOps & Platform Engineer based in Dubai, UAE with 5+ years building production-grade cloud infrastructure, CI/CD automation, and SRE-driven reliability systems.

At Ibrahim Al Zarooni Group, I led the full transformation from FileZilla-based manual deployments to a Git-driven, Jenkins-automated, ChatOps-triggered delivery model - reducing manual release effort by ~80% and achieving 99.9% service availability.

I build systems I'd trust at 3AM during an incident.

End-to-end AWS security infrastructure - WAF + ALB + EC2 ASG + S3 logging, built with modular Terraform. Simulates real-world attack patterns (XSS, path traversal, .env exposure) and captures WAF decisions to S3 for security reporting. → aws-waf-logging

Full CI/CD pipeline for a Vue.js application: Jenkins orchestration, Docker containerization, Ansible agentless deployment, DAST security scanning integrated into the pipeline, zero-downtime rollout with automated rollback. → demo-cicd

Production-grade SRE implementation: custom HTTP metrics middleware in Laravel, Prometheus metrics collection, Grafana dashboards aligned with Google SRE book standards, k6 load testing to validate SLO compliance under traffic pressure. → laravel-kubernetes-observability-stack

Highly available MySQL cluster with automated failover and replication, fully provisioned via Ansible playbooks. Zero manual steps from fresh servers to production-ready cluster. → ha-mysql

Rsyslog aggregation across multiple Linux servers into a single secure log server. Hardening stack: Fail2Ban, SSH controls, UFW, sysctl kernel tuning. Encrypted log transport via mTLS. Deployment automated end-to-end with Ansible. → centerlize-log-system

End-to-end containerized application on Amazon EKS with Datadog integration for real-time performance monitoring, distributed tracing, and operational dashboards. → eks-datadog-observability
