Hi, I'm Adil Riaz, a DevOps and Cloud Engineer focused on building scalable cloud platforms and reliable delivery pipelines. I architect AKS/EKS clusters, drive automation with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and ArgoCD, and design Terraform modules to provision complex environments quickly while maintaining strong security and cost controls. I’ve delivered 99.99% uptime for millions of users across four environments and led self-healing initiatives and observability implementations with Prometheus, Grafana, and Datadog. Currently pursuing a B.S. in Cloud Computing at Purdue, I also hold multiple AWS and Azure certifications and enjoy mentoring teammates, improving DevSecOps practices, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to align technology with business goals. I’m passionate about FinOps, SOC 2, PCI-DSS compliance, and continuously learning new cloud-native skills to help organizations move faster safely.…Hi, I'm Adil Riaz, a DevOps and Cloud Engineer focused on building scalable cloud platforms and reliable delivery pipelines.
