I build, automate, and operate infrastructure — from a production-grade Kubernetes platform with tested disaster recovery to live Cloudflare deployments serving real users. I'm currently looking for my next role — my inbox is open.
- ☸️ Production Kubernetes, proven — I designed, built, and operate a Terraform + ArgoCD GitOps k3s platform on Oracle Cloud, with Velero backups and a fully tested disaster-recovery rebuild.
- 🔐 Security-minded by default — secrets live in OCI Vault via External Secrets Operator, Keycloak SSO/OIDC, wildcard TLS everywhere. No hardcoded secrets, ever.
- 🖥️ Linux is my home turf — server administration, troubleshooting, and automation is where I started and what I do best.
- 🔁 Automation mindset — CI/CD with GitLab and GitHub Actions; if it's done twice, it gets automated.
- 🚀 I ship real things — a live SaaS with paying-ready licensing plus multiple self-hosted services in production (see below), not just tutorial projects.
- 📝 I make complex simple — I teach DevOps in Roman Urdu; explaining hard things clearly is a genuine superpower in any team.
