Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolIjaz Ahmad is a DevOps and Platform engineer with over a decade of experience designing and operating Kubernetes-first infrastructure on AWS and GCP, with deep hands-on expertise in CI/CD, observability, and security. He has led large migrations and optimizations—moving workloads to GKE and AWS Graviton, implementing spot-runner cost savings, and introducing automated pod rightsizing and autoscaling to improve efficiency. Comfortable across the stack from Linux systems and Puppet automation to Terraform, Vault, ArgoCD and ClickHouse, he combines production incident ownership with proactive SLI/SLO-driven alert engineering. At institutions from CERN and EMBL-EBI to startups, he’s reduced MTTR, modernized build pipelines, and automated testing and log analysis (including Elasticsearch integration for CI workflows). Pragmatic and metrics-focused, he seeks roles where he can own platform reliability and architecture decisions while continuing to automate and scale complex distributed systems.
