Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAbdul Wahid is a Senior Platforms Engineer based in London with 8 years’ experience architecting and operating cloud-native platforms, currently driving platform strategy at Zilch. He has deep AWS, Terraform, Docker, EKS/ECS and CI/CD expertise and a proven track record of decomposing monoliths into microservices, cutting deployment times by up to 75% and reducing cloud spend through FinOps. He combines hands-on engineering (Go, Python, Bash) with platform leadership—hiring and mentoring teams, introducing observability with Honeycomb, and shifting organisations toward “platform-as-a-product.” Abdul has practical security and compliance experience including GuardDuty, WAF and Terraform state hardening, and has migrated infrastructure workflows between Terraform Cloud and GitLab for greater control. He’s pragmatic about developer experience, having optimised pipelines and EKS resources to speed releases and improve reliability. Beyond operations, he’s curious about applying LLMs to infrastructure tasks—already experimenting with models for Terraform plan analysis.
