Building secure, scalable cloud infrastructure and AI-driven automation workflows.
Bridging Security & Intelligence
I bridge the gap between secure infrastructure and intelligent automation. Building systems that are secure by design and efficient through AI-driven workflows.
Cyber Security
Implementing Zero Trust architectures and securing cloud infrastructure against advanced threats.
AI Automation
Building intelligent workflows with n8n to streamline operations and enhance productivity.
Cloud Infrastructure
Designing scalable and resilient cloud solutions on AWS with Infrastructure as Code.
Professional Journey
Building secure, scalable systems and leading teams to deliver production-grade infrastructure.
DevSecOps / AI Automation Engineer
- Partnered with teams to architect CI/CD pipelines, accelerating release cycles and improving software quality.
- Designed and deployed n8n workflows for operational tasks like ticket creation and Slack/Teams notifications.
- Built real-time alerting systems with n8n, routing infrastructure alerts to on-call engineers.
- Automated data synchronization across Git, Jira, Notion, and dashboards using n8n.
- Leveraged n8n's API integrations to build approval workflows for infrastructure changes and deployments.
Lead DevSecOps Engineer
- Collaborated with dev teams to design and implement robust CI/CD pipelines, integrating automated testing and security scanning.
- Proactively monitored and resolved infrastructure issues using observability tools, ensuring high availability and performance optimization.
- Conducted periodic security assessments and vulnerability scans, remediating risks to uphold compliance with industry standards.
- Strengthened security posture through IaC (Terraform) to enforce consistent security configurations and regulatory compliance.
Engineering Capabilities
Tools are means to an end. Here are the systems I design and the stack I use to build them.
AI-Driven Security Ops
Automated threat detection pipeline using n8n workflows and LLM analysis to triage alerts effectively.
Zero Trust Cloud Infra
IaC-defined AWS architecture with strict least-privilege policies and automated compliance checks.
DevSecOps GitOps
Secure CI/CD pipelines enforcing policy-as-code gates before automated k8s deployment.

Real-world platforms I've helped build, launch, and scale—supporting thousands of active users and critical business operations.
Trusted by teams who ship securely
Engineering leaders I've partnered with on cloud security, automation, and infrastructure at scale.
“Ahmed re-architected our cloud security from the ground up. Zero Trust rollout was seamless and our audit findings dropped to near zero. Exactly the kind of engineer you want owning critical infrastructure.”
“The AI automations he built replaced hours of manual ops every single day. Reliable, well-documented, and genuinely thoughtful about edge cases. A rare mix of security depth and shipping speed.”
“We brought Ahmed in to harden a fast-growing platform. He balanced pragmatism with rigor — secure by design without slowing the team down. I'd work with him again in a heartbeat.”
