Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Results-driven Cloud DevOps Architect with 10+ years of hands-on experience designing, automating, and scaling enterprise-grade cloud platforms on Azure and AWS. I specialize in Kubernetes (AKS) orchestration, Terraform-driven Infrastructure as Code, and end-to-end CI/CD pipeline engineering. A proven leader who translates business objectives into resilient, cost-optimized, and security-hardened cloud architecture consistently delivering 99.9%+ uptime, faster release cycles, and measurable cost savings at scale.
Architected a scalable Azure cloud platform using AKS, App Services, and Hub-Spoke networking, supporting 50+ microservices across multiple deployment environments. Designed and owned end-to-end CI/CD pipelines via Azure DevOps, cutting release cycles by 60% and enabling zero-downtime deployments through blue/green strategies. Engineered a full Infrastructure as Code suite using Terraform with modular, reusable templates across Development, UAT, and Production environments. Implemented Kubernetes autoscaling (HPA/VPA) and pod disruption budgets, achieving 99.9% uptime SLA across all production workloads. Led Datadog observability integration covering APM, logs, dashboards, and alerting, reducing mean time to resolution by 40%. Managed RBAC, Azure Policy, governance frameworks, and subscription-level security posture across all cloud subscriptions. Mentored junior engineers on DevSecOps practices, GitOps workflows, and cloud-native design principles.

Designed and delivered an Azure Landing Zone architecture aligned with the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework. Configured Hub-Spoke network topology with VNet peering, custom route tables, and a centralized firewall. Implemented Azure AD Connect, SSO, and hybrid identity solutions for seamless on-premises and cloud integration. Deployed containerized workloads on Azure App Services with full CI/CD pipeline integration.

Built and optimized multi-stage CI/CD pipelines, reducing deployment friction across distributed engineering teams. Led Docker containerization strategy and Kubernetes migration of legacy monolithic applications. Authored infrastructure automation scripts in PowerShell and Bash for configuration management and drift detection.
