I build and run OpenShift and Kubernetes platforms. Right now that's release automation at eMcREY in Riyadh; before that, three years at IBM keeping banking platforms deployable and governed across clusters.

I take on remote DevOps work, from a single pipeline to a whole platform.

Quest log

Work

Senior DevOps Engineer, eMcREY Limited

2025 – now
  • Designed multi-stage Control-M deployment workflows with human approval gates, file-watcher triggers, and per-order condition isolation so concurrent deployments stay safe.
  • Tracked down race conditions, stale conditions, and self-ordering loops in Control-M job flows; fixed SELinux contexts and agent host misconfigurations during the proof of concept.
  • Wrote Bash tooling for deployment payload extraction and approve/deny handling across segregated file-transfer zones.
  • Debugged and slimmed developer container images for OpenShift, making builds more reliable and deploys faster.

Platform Engineer, IBM

2024 – 2025
  • Rolled out OpenShift ACM and ACS for central policy enforcement, RBAC governance, and security posture across multiple clusters.
  • Wrote ACM governance policies that catch anomalous resource usage and clean up temporary namespaces automatically.
  • Built Python and Bash scripts that cross-audit microservice versions between PROD and DR.

DevOps Engineer, IBM

2022 – 2024
  • Ran Helm and GitOps deployments for large banking clients and external vendors with zero-downtime releases.
