> Cloud & DevOps Architect
10+ years building and running infrastructure across Saudi Arabia, the UAE and beyond. My focus is cloud & DevOps (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD), then shipping software (Laravel, Python, a multi-tenant ERP), backed by solid enterprise networking and security.
I'm a cloud & DevOps-focused IT Manager. I design cloud and private-cloud platforms, containerize and ship with Docker, Kubernetes and CI/CD, build software in Laravel and Python, and run the enterprise network and security underneath it all — across four countries.
My background includes IT Solutions Architect work for Accor Hotels (Jeddah), IT procurement for Golden Tulip Riyadh, and an IT infrastructure assessment for Movenpick Hotel Jeddah. I hold an M.Tech in Cloud Computing from BITS Pilani and combine hands-on depth — AWS, Azure, GCP, Terraform, Kafka — with team leadership, vendor management and digital transformation.
