Senior DevOps Engineer @ Avail Project
Dubai (Remote)
- ▸Built a custom Prometheus cost exporter and Grafana dashboards for DigitalOcean, identifying inefficiencies and cutting annual cloud costs by $400K across protocol infrastructure.
- ▸Designed and deployed an in-house ZK prover system with GPU instances and advanced K8s CronJobs, achieving a 28x cost reduction over external prover solutions.
- ▸Implemented a Web3 Signer using AWS KMS to securely manage deployment keys for the protocol, eliminating direct developer access to private keys and enforcing least-privilege key management for on-chain operations.
- ▸Built end-to-end CI/CD, monitoring, and observability for Nexus (cross-chain bridge); configured automated alerts for solver balance thresholds to prevent bridge downtime and ensure continuous liquidity. Integrated new L2 chains (MegaETH, Citrea) into Nexus, expanding the protocol's multi-chain ecosystem.
- ▸Implemented deep observability with OpenTelemetry across the data availability layer, helping developers identify and resolve DHT-related P2P networking errors impacting light client fetch performance.
- ▸Built an infrastructure management workflow using Terraform and Ansible to ensure smooth, zero-downtime upgrades on RPC nodes and validators; configured bare-metal servers and provisioned isolated devnet environments with self-hosted CI runners.
- ▸Defined SLOs for validator uptime and RPC latency, built Grafana alert runbooks for on-call incident response, and established post-mortem processes to drive reliability improvements across the network.
DevOps Specialist @ Almosafer
Dubai
- ▸Architected an end-to-end CI/CD pipeline with Jenkins on Kubernetes (StatefulSet) and ArgoCD for GitOps-driven deployments, enabling automated rollouts across staging and production.
- ▸Deployed production infrastructure on AWS using Terraform, authoring reusable modules with remote state and workspaces for multi-environment scalability.
- ▸Automated log rotation and Filebeat configuration on legacy systems via SaltStack with custom pillar definitions, reducing manual operational overhead.
- ▸Mitigated a critical RBAC security vulnerability in EKS by implementing IAM Roles for Service Accounts (IRSA), enforcing least-privilege access across 3 clusters hosting 60+ microservices.
DevOps Engineer @ Delhivery
India
- ▸Spearheaded AWS cost optimization at one of India's largest AWS clients, driving $800K+ in annual infrastructure savings through rightsizing, Reserved Instances, and Spot fleet strategies.
- ▸Executed zero-downtime EKS cluster upgrades (1.22 to 1.27) across production, staging, and dev environments, managing node group migrations and API deprecation handling.
- ▸Built Terraform modules for provisioning VPCs, EKS clusters, and RDS instances across multiple AWS accounts with cross-account IAM role assumptions.
