About

Professional summary

I am a cloud infrastructure and backend engineer with hands-on experience building reliable systems in Go, Python, and Kubernetes-based environments. My work combines backend development, platform tooling, observability, automation, and security controls.

I have several years of experience as a working student in cloud infrastructure at SAP, where I developed monitoring exporters, Kubernetes operators, Helm charts, CI pipelines, and internal developer tools. I have contributed features and bug fixes across multiple Go codebases supporting object storage, quota management, and autoscaling services.

I am comfortable designing microservices and APIs, including gRPC services with role-based access control. I have also worked with LDAP-backed user data, audit trails, Protocol Buffers, and policy enforcement using OPA Gatekeeper.

My infrastructure background includes Linux, NixOS, Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, Prometheus, Grafana, Concourse CI, and GitHub Actions. I enjoy improving deployment reliability, reducing operational overhead, and creating consistent development workflows.

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Media Informatics at Technische Hochschule Lübeck. I communicate fluently in English and German and am a native speaker of Urdu and Punjabi.

Implemented a gRPC API providing role-based access control for features in the University Admin Portal.

Working Student — Cloud Infrastructure SAP

Built and deployed a Prometheus exporter for petabyte-scale object-storage monitoring and developed a Kubernetes operator. Contributed features and bug fixes to Go codebases for cloud quota management, vertical autoscaling, and internal libraries. Reduced repository storage usage by 1 TiB per region through improved Debian and Ubuntu repository replication, and migrated multiple codebases from Python 2 to Python 3.

Created and maintained Helm charts for microservices and Prometheus alert rules deployed to Kubernetes control planes. Wrote OPA Gatekeeper policies for cluster security and consistency, implemented audit trails in Go microservices, and developed Concourse CI and GitHub Actions release automation.

Improved developer experience by extending go-makefile-maker to automate new Go repository bootstrapping and maintaining an internal Homebrew tap for macOS users.
