Ibad Ur Razzaq S.
Cloud Engineer | AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes & DevOps
I'm Ibad, a cloud engineer with 7 years of experience designing, migrating and running production infrastructure on AWS and Azure. I help teams ship reliably: clean CI/CD, infrastructure as code, secure deployments and systems that recover when something breaks. WHAT I DO - Cloud architecture and AWS setup: VPCs, ECS/Fargate, EC2, IAM, KMS, cost-aware designs - Cloud migrations: moved a live production platform from Azure to AWS with zero downtime - Infrastructure as code: Terraform (3 years on Azure), repeatable environments, no console clicking - CI/CD and DevOps: pipelines that build, test and deploy, plus rollbacks that work - Containers and Kubernetes: Docker, deployment, and backup and disaster recovery for clusters - Security: secrets management with Vault and KMS, Cloudflare Zero Trust, least-privilege access - Fixing broken deployments: failing pipelines, servers that went down after a release, apps that run locally but not in production - AI in your infrastructure: self-hosted models (Ollama on GPU instances), and agents that triage and fix failing CI runs RECENT WORK - DrillProof: a backup and disaster-recovery product for Kubernetes and AWS that checks daily that backups can actually be restored. I built it and use it every day. - SeekInvest: a portfolio management platform, including the zero-downtime Azure to AWS migration. - AutoFixOps: an agent that takes a failing CI/CD run, fixes it, re-runs the pipeline and sends a report. CERTIFIED AND EXPERIENCED 3x AWS certified (Solutions Architect, Cloud Practitioner, AI Practitioner). Led a team of 15 engineers. $100K+ earned on Upwork. I reply within 2 hours. HOW I WORK I start with what you have, write down the risks and the plan, then change things in small steps with a way back. You get documentation, not just a working system. Tell me what is slow, broken or about to be migrated, and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.
