Eliminating Operational Toil Through Immutable Infrastructure & Remote Automation
Declarative IaC & Standardization
Infrastructure should be predictable, modular, and version-controlled. By building centralized Terraform and Terragrunt modules across AWS, Azure, and GCP, I eliminate configuration drift and enable safe, repeatable deployments across global remote engineering teams.
SRE & High-Availability Operations
Uptime is earned through robust observability, automated self-healing, clear runbooks, and proactive load testing. My SRE experience at Careem achieved MTTR under 15 minutes for P1 incidents while maintaining a 99.9% SLO across global distributed systems.
AI-Assisted Operations & IDP
Empowering product engineering teams through self-service Internal Developer Platforms (IDP) reduces manual ops requests by 90%. Integrating Claude API and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers accelerates incident triage and runbook execution for distributed remote organizations.

Enterprise AWS IaC & Terragrunt Standardization Platform
Problem: Operating across dev, staging, and production environments without standardized automation caused severe configuration drift and manual provisioning delays taking several hours per request.
Solution: Architected a centralized Infrastructure as Code platform using Terraform and Terragrunt modules. Standardized 2,000+ AWS resources across multi-account structures with strict state locking and automated cost tagging.
Microservices Migration from Elastic Beanstalk to Amazon EKS
Problem: AWS Elastic Beanstalk struggled with horizontal scaling limits during peak ride-hailing demand traffic, driving up cloud infrastructure overhead.
Solution: Containerized legacy services with Docker and orchestrated a seamless migration to Amazon EKS using Helm charts, Cluster Autoscaler, and fine-tuned HPA/VPA scaling policies.
Enterprise CI/CD Migration: Jenkins to GitHub Actions
Problem: Legacy Jenkins servers required high maintenance, created build bottlenecks across 1,000+ microservices, and suffered from slow pipeline feedback loops.
Solution: Designed reusable GitHub Actions workflows with containerized build agents, parallel matrix builds, caching layers, and integrated K6 automated load testing.
Serverless Multi-Cloud Compliance & Image Optimization Platform
Problem: Clients required real-time compliance monitoring across AWS, GCP, and Azure accounts alongside ultra-fast image processing for high-volume requests.
Solution: Engineered a serverless backend using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, SNS/SQS, and CloudFront. Built automated scanning engines for HIPAA and PCI-DSS compliance across 100+ accounts.
