About

I’m Hichem CHEIKH, a Senior DevOps & Cloud Engineer with 17 years of experience delivering scalable cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes orchestration, and CI/CD automation for enterprise platforms. I specialize in Drupal and WordPress ecosystems, cloud-native deployments on GCP and AWS, containerization with Docker and Kubernetes, and API management. I thrive on building robust, maintainable systems and mentoring teams to adopt modern DevOps practices.

Outside of hands-on work, I enjoy shaping architectural decisions, integrating headless CMS approaches, and delivering high-availability solutions that scale with business needs. I value collaboration with cross-functional teams and strive to fuse reliability with velocity in complex environments.
