• Architected and operate GoLang-based microservices on AWS (EKS, EC2, RDS) serving enterprise DevOps
automation customers at scale, ensuring 99.9%+ uptime across multi-tenant environments.
• Owned Terraform IaC codebase across multiple AWS environments; provisioned, maintained, and hardened
cloud resources following security-first principles aligned with data sovereignty requirements.
• Designed and maintained CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Buildkite) and GitOps workflows (FluxCD /
ArgoCD); authored Helm charts and Kubernetes CRDs for platform-level automation.
• Built and maintained enterprise-grade OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect / SAML / LDAP identity service (chef/dex-1)
— directly applicable to financial-grade and government-sector auth requirements in Qatar.
• Integrated Prometheus / Grafana / Alertmanager observability stack across cloud services; reduced mean time
to detect (MTTD) incidents by 40% through proactive alerting and dashboard engineering.
• Contributed to chef/automate (open-source) and Progress Chef 360 — IAM, identity federation, and multi
tenant SaaS infrastructure serving Fortune 500 clients.
• Developed platform automation scripts in Python & GoLang, reducing operational toil and improving release
velocity across distributed Agile teams.
• Managed and mentored a team of 5 engineers, coordinating sprint planning, code reviews, and cross-functional
delivery across distributed Agile teams.
• Built and maintained internal tooling and dashboards using React.js, Node.js, and Express.js (JavaScript) on
Dockerized microservices backed by PostgreSQL, deployed alongside the core GoLang services on AWS.

• Ramped up on GoLang microservices and Terraform-based infrastructure; became primary contributor to
cloud-native automation tooling within 3 months.
• Gained deep expertise in DevOps domain (Chef ecosystem), authentication services, and IAM patterns;
established reusable Terraform module library used across 5+ internal teams.
• Collaborated with SRE and security teams to harden Kubernetes workloads with RBAC policies and network
policies, reducing attack surface on production clusters.

• Core developer of Node.js RESTful APIs backed by Firestore (NoSQL); built and operated subscription billing
and payments infrastructure — patterns directly analogous to fintech platform engineering.
• Integrated Twilio (SMS/voice), SendGrid (transactional email), Mixpanel (analytics), Mux (video); end-to-end
platform engineering for a health SaaS product.
• Scripted MySQL → Firestore data migration with zero downtime; automated repetitive data-scraping workflows
in Python, saving 15+ engineering hours per week.

• Led a team of 8 engineers across three products; architected backend services on Node.js, Express, MongoDB
on AWS — established deployment and release practices for the engineering org.
• Integrated Google Maps, Firebase Auth, and reverse-geocoding APIs; built cross-platform React Native app
deployed to Google Play Store with 500+ pilot users.
• Explored GraphQL, AWS Lambda (serverless), and Docker — early hands-on cloud-native exposure that
seeded current DevOps depth.

• Built MERN stack applications on real client projects; established clean JavaScript engineering foundations.
