About Me

I'm a Senior DevOps Engineer and Cloud Solutions Architect with 6+ years designing, securing, and operating enterprise-grade infrastructure for governments and financial institutions across the UAE and GCC.

My work spans the full infrastructure lifecycle — from zero-trust network architecture and Kubernetes platform engineering to DevSecOps pipeline design and disaster recovery planning. I specialize in environments where security, compliance, and five-nines availability are non-negotiable.

Clients include DGE (Digital Government Entity, UAE), Abu Dhabi Global Market, Qatar Financial Centre Regulatory Authority, and the Department of Municipalities & Transport (UAE).

Senior DevOps Engineer
SlashTec
December 2023 — Present
  • Architected secure multi-cloud CI/CD pipelines across Azure DevOps, Jenkins, and GitLab CI/CD — cutting deployment cycle time by ~40% across 10+ concurrent enterprise projects.
  • Implemented production GitOps workflows using ArgoCD, eliminating configuration drift across all AKS/EKS clusters.
  • Engineered modular Terraform codebases cutting infrastructure provisioning from days to under 2 hours.
  • Integrated SonarQube (SAST) and Trivy into all CI pipelines — blocking 100% of critical vulnerabilities from reaching production.
  • Built centralized observability platform (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog) reducing MTTD by ~60%.
  • Delivered cloud architecture for UAE government and GCC financial clients: DGE, ADGM, DMT, and QFCRA — zero-downtime deployments throughout.
DevOps & Cloud Architect

January 2022 — December 2023
  • Designed and delivered full Azure containerized infrastructure, migrating on-premises workloads with zero data loss.
  • Authored Terraform automation frameworks for end-to-end provisioning across Dev, Staging, and Production environments.
  • Designed enterprise IAM architecture using Azure Active Directory, OAuth 2.0, and OIDC — enforcing least-privilege across multi-tenant workloads.
  • Implemented HA load balancing using NGINX and HAProxy for production traffic exceeding 500k daily requests.
  • Reduced code defect escape rate by 35%+ through SonarQube quality gate integration.
Senior IT Infrastructure Engineer
