Hassan
Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps Engineer

I build and run reliable, secure production infrastructure on AWS: EKS and ECS workloads, Terraform-managed environments and automated CI/CD pipelines that replace manual deployments. Based in Lahore, Pakistan.

About

What I do

☁️

Cloud on AWS

Design, run and secure production workloads on EC2, ECS and EKS, from networking to access control.

☸️

Kubernetes on EKS

Scalable, self-healing workloads with autoscaling and health-checked rollouts.

🏗️

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform-defined environments that are reproducible, reviewable and version-controlled.

🚀

CI/CD automation

Jenkins and AWS CodePipeline flows that build, test and ship every change the same way.

Selected work

Projects

Production platforms I designed, deployed and operate on AWS.

Palsome: social media platform

EKS
EKSKubernetesFFmpegTerraformCodePipeline
Problem: A video-heavy social platform needs transcoding that keeps up with uploads without slowing the app.
What I did: Built an FFmpeg video-processing pipeline as scalable workloads on EKS, separate from the web tier, provisioned with Terraform and released through automated pipelines.
Result: Video processing that scales with demand and recovers on its own.

Yap: digital wallet app

Flagship · ECS
ECSFinTechTerraformIAMDatadog
Problem: A digital wallet is a large, always-on financial product that needs high availability, strict access control and constant visibility.
What I did: Ran the platform on Amazon ECS with locked-down networking, least-privilege IAM, health-checked services, Terraform-managed infrastructure and Datadog monitoring with alerting.
Result: A secure, resilient and observable payments platform, my largest project at TRZ Technologies.

CogniArt: AI image generation

ECS
ECSDockerAITerraform
Problem: Image generation is compute-hungry and traffic is bursty.
What I did: Containerized the application and ran it on Amazon ECS with service auto scaling and automated deployments.
Result: A stable AI service that grows and shrinks with load.

GiftPoke: gifting platform

AWS
LaravelDockernginxHTTPS
Problem: Releases needed to be consistent and safe to repeat.
What I did: Containerized the Laravel application and ran it in Docker behind nginx with HTTPS on AWS, with scripted deployments.
Result: A predictable release process and a monitored production site.

Mink: clothing brand store

EC2
EC2nginxHTTPSAnsible
What I did: Hosted the e-commerce site on EC2 behind nginx with HTTPS, with servers configured through Ansible so they can be rebuilt the same way every time.

How I run production

The same practices sit behind every project above.

📈

Auto scaling

Horizontal Pod Autoscaling on EKS and service scaling on ECS add capacity under load and release it after.

🩺

Self healing

Liveness and readiness probes restart failed containers and keep traffic away from unhealthy ones.

🏗️

Terraform IaC

VPCs, clusters, roles and services are defined in code, reviewed in Git and applied from pipelines.

CI/CD pipeline

Every change follows the same automated path from commit to production.

Observability

See everything in production

Metrics, logs, traces and alerts so problems are caught before users notice them.

🐶

Datadog

My main monitoring platform across EKS, ECS and EC2. The Datadog Agent collects infrastructure and container metrics, and I use it as one place for dashboards, logs, traces and alerts.

  • Agent on hosts & containers
  • Kubernetes & ECS monitoring
  • APM & tracing
  • Log management
  • Custom dashboards
  • Monitors & alerts
  • AWS integration
  • Uptime checks
🔥

Prometheus

Scrapes metrics from services and clusters, with alert rules for the conditions that matter.

🖥️

Node Exporter

Host-level CPU, memory, disk and network metrics from every Linux server.

☁️

CloudWatch

AWS-native metrics, logs and alarms for EC2, ECS and EKS, wired to notifications.

📊

Grafana

Dashboards over Prometheus and CloudWatch so the whole team can read system health at a glance.

How the signals flow

From servers and containers to dashboards and alerts.
