From a committo infrastructure that holds.
I’m Syed Kashif Ali, a DevOps & Cloud Engineer based in Hyderabad. Terraform, CI/CD, Kubernetes and observability on AWS — design, automate, ship and monitor, all in one pair of hands.
Selected work · Cloud & DevOps
Four builds, from the first commit to the on-call alert.
Cloud · AWS
EC2, ECS, S3, VPC, IAM, Lambda, RDS, ALB, ECR, CloudWatch, Secrets Manager, WAF, KMS
Containers
Docker, Kubernetes (EKS), Helm, Trivy, container networking
CI/CD & GitOps
Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Argo CD, SonarQube, Git workflows
Infrastructure as Code
Terraform modules (AWS, Azure, GCP), Ansible fundamentals
Observability
CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, Dynatrace, EFK, PagerDuty
Linux · Network · Code
TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/S, subnets, firewalls, Bash, Python, Java, SQL
Terraform · environments & modules · simulation
One set of modules, many environments.
Illustration only: a scripted walkthrough of the module and environment layout from my Terraform project. Names, CIDRs and counts are examples. Each environment has its own tfvars and its own remote state key.
Kubernetes · self-healing simulation
When a pod fails, the cluster answers.
Illustration only: a scripted simulation of OOMKilled → restart back-off → replacement pod. Click any pod to crash it.
Git · branch, review, merge · simulation
Every change takes a branch, a review and a way back.
Press play to watch a feature go from branch to release.
Illustration only: a scripted walkthrough of a feature-branch workflow (branch, commits, pull request, merge, tag, revert).
CI/CD · GitHub Actions → Argo CD · simulation
From git push to a running pod, every step gated.
Illustration only: a scripted simulation based on the tools in my resume (GitHub Actions, Trivy, SonarQube, ECR, Helm, Argo CD). Rollback is a Git revert, which Argo CD syncs back.
Observability · Prometheus · Grafana · PagerDuty · simulated data
Watch it page me, then heal itself.
- Alert HighCPU
- OK
- Replicas
- 2
- On-call
- Quiet
Illustration only: the numbers are generated in your browser, not measured. The flow mirrors my observability project: a metric crosses a threshold, Alertmanager fires, PagerDuty pages on-call, the autoscaler adds replicas, and the alert resolves.

How this very page reaches your browser.
Reference architecture, simulated: private S3 bucket, CloudFront with Origin Access Control, ACM certificate in us-east-1 and an optional Route 53 alias. No ALB, EC2 or public bucket is needed for a static page. Large numbers of invalidation paths can incur AWS charges.
About
Learned by building, one lab at a time.
I’m a DevOps & Cloud Engineer in the making from Hyderabad, with working knowledge of AWS, Linux, networking, Terraform, containers and CI/CD.
From Nov 2025 to May 2026 I worked as a Cloud Engineer intern at Future Applications Technologies, on infrastructure and delivery for the Clariop product. I’m now pursuing an MCA while building projects on EKS, Bedrock and Prometheus.
Approach
I build infrastructure that stays up
one commit at a time
Understand & design
Clarify the requirement, sketch the network, IAM and failure modes before touching a console.
Automate
Terraform modules, Helm charts and pipelines so every change is repeatable and reviewable.
Test & ship
Plan before apply, scan images, GitOps sync with Argo CD, rollback through Git.
Monitor & improve
Dashboards, alerts and logs that turn incidents into better defaults.
