I'm Abu Sakir, a Senior DevOps and DevSecOps Engineer with over 11 years of experience designing, implementing, and operating cloud-native infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud for enterprise SaaS platforms and highly regulated environments. I specialize in building scalable, secure platforms using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation), container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), and automated CI/CD pipelines, while driving reliability, security, and operational efficiency across multi-account cloud environments. I’m passionate about enabling teams through self-service platforms, centralized observability, and proactive incident management. My approach blends Site Reliability Engineering practices with Zero Trust security, FinOps for cost optimization, and continuous improvement to reduce toil and boost platform stability and business value. I enjoy mentoring engineers, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and adopting modern engineering practices to deliver resilient cloud platforms that scale with business needs.
