Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSaid Ghamra is a Senior DevOps and platform engineer based in Ottawa with 8 years of experience designing, building, and operating AWS and hybrid infrastructures that serve hundreds of developers. He specializes in infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD reliability, and pragmatic cloud cost control—arguing that most overspend stems from design, ownership and operational practices rather than pricing alone. Said has led platform migrations, multi-region containerized CI solutions, and Terraform adoption while building monitoring, networking and automation stacks that improve continuity and developer velocity. Comfortable both shipping code and shaping team practices, he pairs hands-on implementation (Terraform, Ansible, GitLab/Jenkins, Kubernetes) with coaching teams on accountability and cost as a system. A former web and backend developer, he brings full-stack empathy to platform problems and a track record of turning operational pain points into repeatable, automated solutions.
