6x AWS Certified professional specializing in Platform Engineering, Cloud Native architectures, and building scalable infrastructure for Generative AI. With over 4 years of experience, I automate complex, multi-account AWS environments using Terraform and Kubernetes to deliver resilient, enterprise-grade cloud solutions.
Ask me anything – the real Salman might just chime in.
I know Salman's complete background, projects, and tech stack. I can also put you in touch directly.
Lead infrastructure consultant orchestrating enterprise-scale cloud transformations for major automotive clients including Porsche AG, MBition, and Mercedes-Benz. Architected robust CI/CD pipelines, automated AWS provisioning using Terraform, and engineered scalable 'Fleeting Runners' and containerized environments. Spearheaded the deployment of generative AI chat capabilities and internal developer platforms, significantly improving operational efficiency and security posture.
Led the provisioning of Infrastructure as Code using AWS CloudFormation and managed continuous deployment pipelines across Dev, QA, and Prod environments. Enforced robust cloud security by maintaining IAM permissions and auditing AWS resources for cost optimization. Directed the containerization strategy using Docker on AWS ECS Fargate, ensuring continuous security patching and vulnerability testing.
Spearheaded modular Infrastructure as Code provisioning using Terraform alongside GitLab CI/CD pipelines. Configured secure GKE clusters on GCP for staging environments and managed Kubernetes deployments using Helmfile. Oversaw the resolution of on-premises IT infrastructure and complex deployment challenges.
Architected comprehensive logging and monitoring dashboards utilizing AWS CloudWatch for server and application metrics. Deployed highly-available ECS services using on-demand CloudFormation stacks and Fargate. Managed large-scale distributed systems in production, focusing on debugging, failure handling, and advanced performance tuning.
Provisioned secure Infrastructure as Code via Terraform Cloud and CloudFormation nested stacks while optimizing CI/CD pipelines with GitLab, Octopus Deploy, and AWS CodePipeline. Led complex 'lift and shift' cloud migrations to AWS and developed serverless microservices using AWS SAM. Championed containerization workflows with Docker and ECR, and ensured high availability through AWS AutoScaling and Route53.
Developed 'CodeFreak', an interactive programming competition platform. Engineered a secure code compilation server with isolated Docker containers, a robust ASP.NET Core RESTful backend, and an Angular 6 user interface with real-time Chat via SignalR.
Built 'Keyless', a permissionless decentralized peer-to-peer biometric authentication network. Developed an Ethereum Wallet and smart contracts (ERC-20), enabling a self-sovereign key management ecosystem without traditional private keys.
