Building infra that doesn't
wake you up at 3 AM.

I'm a Senior DevOps & Site Reliability Engineer with a passion for clean infrastructure, zero-downtime deployments, and security-first automation. As a Kubestronaut — holding all five Kubernetes certifications (CKA, CKAD, CKS, KCSA, KCNA) — I specialise in Kubernetes-native architectures and cloud-agnostic platform engineering.

At Nawy, Egypt's leading real estate platform, I own the cloud infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure, drive CI/CD maturity, and champion DevSecOps practices across engineering teams. If it can be automated, it already is.
