About

Professional summary

I am a Cloud & DevOps Engineer and 2026 Cloud and Networking engineering graduate based in Monastir, Tunisia. I am seeking a Junior Cloud/DevOps Engineer role where I can help build reliable, secure, and scalable cloud infrastructure.

I have hands-on experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, containerizing applications, and deploying workloads on Kubernetes. My work has included GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, ArgoCD, and cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, GCP, and OVH Cloud.

I apply DevSecOps practices throughout the delivery lifecycle using tools such as Trivy, GitLeaks, OWASP Dependency-Check, and SonarQube. I have contributed to pipelines that achieved a 95% success rate and reduced software delivery time by 40%.

I am experienced with observability and operations, using Prometheus and Grafana to monitor containerized systems. My systems and networking background includes Linux, LDAP, networking, VLANs, OSPF, firewall configuration, and least-privilege access.

I have worked in Agile teams on cloud and DevOps projects and have handled incident response, root-cause analysis, remediation, and preventive runbook creation. I bring a collaborative, analytical, adaptable, and reliability-focused approach to engineering work.

I hold AWS Certified Solutions Architect, AWS Certified AI Practitioner, and AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certifications. I am motivated to continue developing my cloud engineering and automation expertise while delivering secure infrastructure and efficient software delivery processes.

Career history

Cloud & DevOps Engineer Freelancer - Self-employed

I design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for cloud projects, with a focus on reliable and automated software delivery.

I containerize applications and deploy workloads on Kubernetes, supporting cloud infrastructure operations and DevOps practices.

DevOps Engineer Intern Stock Up

I designed GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines as part of a six-person Agile team working across seven sprints. The pipelines achieved a 95% success rate.

I deployed and maintained scalable containerized systems on Kubernetes (K3s) hosted on OVH Cloud, using Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring. I also led incident response for a critical security issue, completing root-cause analysis, remediation, and a preventive runbook that was adopted as a team reference.

DevOps Engineer Intern Enova ROBOTICS

I contributed to a DevSecOps CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins, SonarQube, Docker, and Kubernetes within a five-person team. This work reduced software delivery time by 40% and sustained a 95% pipeline success rate.

I embedded Trivy, GitLeaks, and OWASP Dependency-Check into the delivery process to strengthen security scanning. The application environment was deployed on AWS.

IT System Administrator Intern ADN EXPERTISE

I deployed a high-availability LDAP service on AWS to centralize identity management for five to fifteen user accounts. This implementation reduced IT management time by 50%.

I strengthened network security through firewall rules and least-privilege access controls, supporting more secure system administration practices.

Network Engineering Intern LEADERPOS

I modeled and validated three distinct network topologies using Cisco Packet Tracer and GNS3.

My work covered IP addressing, VLAN configuration, RIP and OSPF routing, and firewall concepts.
