I take products from idea to scale, and build the infrastructure that keeps them running.
I'm Ahmad, an engineering lead with 9+ years across the full lifecycle of web and mobile products, and I've led teams of 20+ engineers. I architect systems in Ruby on Rails, React and TypeScript, run them on AWS and Kubernetes with solid CI/CD, and build AI-powered automation that turns raw data into answers. I've shipped scalable products across EdTech, healthcare, e-commerce and logistics, hiring and mentoring engineers along the way. Off the clock, I'm chasing mountains, the perfect bowl of ramen, and the occasional late-night RPG boss fight.

What I do
From first MVP to production scale. I architect the product, automate it with AI, and run it on cloud infrastructure built to grow.
DevOps, CI/CD & Cloud
I design, ship and run the infrastructure behind real-time products: Kubernetes migrations, infrastructure as code, CI/CD and observability, with zero-downtime cutovers.
AI-Powered Automation
Tool-calling agents, MCP servers and streaming AI chat that turn live business data into answers.
Speed & Cost
Profiling, query tuning and cost forensics that make systems faster and bills smaller.
Enterprise-ready
The security checklist enterprise customers ask for, built in from day one.
Solution Architecture
System design that takes products from first MVP to production scale, and upgrades that keep them modern.
I lead a team of engineers, and agents.
My agents work on schedules. They fix production errors overnight, watch performance, review pull requests and keep my to-do list honest. My job is the guardrails that make their work safe to ship.
Turns yesterday's production errors into tested fix PRs.
Finds endpoints over the latency budget, fixes and verifies them on staging.
Reviews teammates' PRs against the repo's own rules. Comments, never approves.
Turns a week of team chat into my to-do list.
Summarises support threads into resolved vs open, with ticket status.
Agents can be wrong. The system makes sure wrong code can't ship.
Experience
Platform, DevOps & AI Engineer
Independent · Contract
Running cloud infrastructure for a real-time video chat platform: moved its backend from Heroku to Kubernetes on AWS, added full observability, and cut a lot of wasted cloud spend. For an e-commerce analytics SaaS, I build AI agents, an MCP server, enterprise security and big framework upgrades.
Engineering Lead
Cialfo
Leading engineering for an education platform connecting students and universities across admissions and communications. I set technical direction, own architecture and schema decisions, mentor the team, and build AI automation into the product and our engineering workflows, while staying hands-on through to production.
Senior DevOps Engineer
BioMark · Contract
Owned deployment, infrastructure and delivery pipelines for BioMark's lab platform apps, a healthcare product helping patients and doctors interpret medical data for preventive care across 2,500+ clinics in 4 countries.
Software Engineer → Team Lead
Devsinc
Joined as an Associate Engineer and was promoted to Team Lead, driving delivery across multiple client projects as both developer and DevOps engineer. Ran technical demos and interviews that won new business, and hired and trained fresh graduates.

Beyond the code
Gaming
Occasionally saving the world one boss fight at a time. RPGs and open worlds are my off-switch.
Anime & Film
A sucker for great storytelling, from Studio Ghibli warmth to gritty sci-fi.
Mountains
Trading the keyboard for a trail. The best debugging happens at altitude.
Ramen
On a lifelong quest for the perfect bowl. Broth is an engineering problem.
Let's build something scalable.
Open to engineering-lead, DevOps and architecture roles, and always up for a good conversation, whether it's a product, a team, or a great ramen spot.
