Ahmad

I am a DevSecOps & Cloud Transformation Manager passionate about building secure, automated, and future-ready platforms. With proven expertise in Kubernetes, GitOps, and security automation, I help organizations accelerate delivery, reduce risk, and stay compliant with global standards (ISO, PCI-DSS, SOC2).

Beyond technology, I bring strong governance, financial, and vendor management skills — aligning IT investments with business strategy, monitoring CAPEX/OPEX budgets, forecasts, and variances, and ensuring cost-effective delivery through vendor partnerships.

Key strengths include:

DevSecOps Orchestration – embedding security into CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure-as-Code, and cloud posture management.

Cloud & Kubernetes Strategy – designing production-grade clusters with HA/DR, governance, and monitoring.

Financial & Vendor Governance – managing budgets, CAPEX/OPEX, and vendor engagements to optimize cost and performance.

Automation & Compliance – GitOps workflows, AI-powered monitoring, and automated compliance enforcement.

Leadership – building Centers of Excellence, mentoring teams, aligning IT operations with KPIs.
