About
I’m Syed Bukhari, a results-driven DevOps professional specializing in cloud adoption and enterprise DevOps transformations across AWS and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). I build and maintain infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform and related templates), automate operational workflows with Python and shell scripting, and help teams ship reliably through strong CI/CD practices.
I also use AI-assisted workflows to speed up engineering tasks—such as analyzing Jira tickets, investigating repository context, troubleshooting Terraform changes, and improving documentation—so issues get resolved faster and with better consistency. My focus is always on scalability, security, and reliability, partnering closely with development and operations teams to reduce deployment bottlenecks, cut waste, and improve performance in production environments.

Prototyped AI-driven automation using MCP servers integrated with Jira and Git to identify relevant tickets, analyze repository context, and accelerate infrastructure issue remediation. Applied AI-assisted DevOps workflows to speed troubleshooting, generate scripts, and review Terraform changes for Jira-driven cloud engineering tasks. Designed and maintained multi-environment cloud infrastructure using Terraform across AWS and OCI. Built reusable Terraform modules for OCI Autonomous Databases (ADB), WAF policies, Glue connections, and OCI resources to improve consistency and reduce unnecessary recreation. Developed shell/Python automation scripts for OCI operational workflows, credential auditing, database access management, and infrastructure validation.
Designed and executed migration of on-premises infrastructure to AWS, automating provisioning with Terraform and ARM templates and creating reusable modules for AWS and Azure. Developed and implemented 50+ Ansible playbooks for application deployment and configuration across AWS EC2, reducing manual effort by 80%. Deployed and managed highly available Kubernetes clusters on Amazon EKS and integrated OpenShift on AWS to improve scalability and development cycles. Built and optimized CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI and Jenkins, reducing lead time by 50%, and configured AWS services (EC2, S3, ELB, VPC) to support enterprise workloads. Integrated Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring and alerting, enforced IAM and encryption practices, performed vulnerability scanning, and improved deployment workflows with cross-team collaboration. Delivered disaster recovery strategies, supported microservices deployments, reduced cloud spend by 20% through right-sizing, and achieved a 40% latency reduct
Implemented infrastructure automation using Terraform, CloudFormation, and ARM templates across AWS and Azure. Transitioned legacy applications to Kubernetes, managing deployments on EKS and AKS to modernize for scalability and high availability. Built CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, Azure DevOps, and GitLab to reduce deployment time by 30% and increase reliability. Led migrations from monolithic systems to containerized microservices and orchestrated containerization with Docker/Kubernetes. Implemented DevOps practices for IaC, monitoring (Prometheus/Grafana), and CI/CD to improve the software delivery lifecycle. Provisioned on-demand development and testing environments to reduce infrastructure costs by 25%, and collaborated across teams to remove AWS/Azure bottlenecks.
