DevOps Engineer · Cloud & Automation
Architecture for reliable digital systems.
I build secure cloud infrastructure that ships cleanly and scales without drama.
About Me
I'm a Software Engineer at Sevteq. I don't just build features. I build the infrastructure that keeps them running. From slashing AWS costs by 40% using Terraform and ECS Fargate, to blocking bot attacks with WAF and JA3 fingerprinting, to shipping code through zero-downtime CI/CD pipelines. I own the full journey from commit to production. I've worked on real estate marketplaces, banking apps, and AI integrations. But what I actually care about is what happens after the code is written — that it deploys cleanly, scales without drama, and stays secure under pressure. If you're building something that needs to run right, let's talk.

Work Experience
Founding DevOps Engineer
Co-founded Sevteq and own all cloud infrastructure architecture decisions, deployment pipelines, security, and cost.
- Cut AWS costs by 40% by replacing NAT Gateways with chained PrivateLink VPC endpoints across ECS Fargate private subnets
- Built GitLab CI/CD pipelines for zero-downtime rolling deployments with container security baked into the build, not added after
- Configured AWS WAF with JA3 TLS fingerprinting to block rotating bot traffic at the edge, and wired CloudWatch Container Insights through private endpoints for full observability
Teaching Assistant
Supported 100+ students across Operating Systems, Database Systems, Discrete Structures, and ICT over two semesters.
- Ran OS lab sessions in C and Bash — CPU scheduling, process synchronisation, semaphores, mutexes, and deadlock debugging in multi-threaded programs
- Designed SQL labs covering query optimisation in MySQL, and introduced ICT students to frontend fundamentals from scratch
Flutter Developer Intern
Leading the development of cross-platform mobile solutions like Roomatch Pk and Real Couple.
- Led and mentored a team of interns through the full agile development lifecycle
- Delivered a comprehensive accommodation marketplace (Roomatch Pk) for student housing
- Built a secure, real-time dating application (Real Couple) with user verification
