About

Architecture where it meets operations

I lead the DevOps and IT function at Code7 in Jeddah — infrastructure, deployments, internal systems and production readiness for the products we ship.

My work sits where architecture meets operations: designing environments that survive real traffic, automating the path from commit to production, keeping access and security tight, and cutting cloud spend that nobody is watching.

Before Saudi Arabia I worked as a DevOps engineer on fast-scaling SaaS products in Bengaluru, and spent two and a half years delivering production websites and web applications as a freelancer for clients across healthcare, hospitality, design and consulting.

Current focus

  • Web applications and internal tools
  • AI agents and workflow automation
  • Cloud infrastructure on AWS and Azure
  • CI/CD pipelines and release automation
  • Containers, Docker and Kubernetes workloads
  • Linux administration, networking and VPN
  • Access control and practical security hardening
  • Cloud cost visibility and optimisation

Work

What I take on

What I build, what I fix, and the products already shipped behind it.

How I help

Applications & Web Apps

Web applications, internal tools, dashboards, booking and ordering flows, APIs and mobile-ready builds — designed, built, deployed and kept running.

AI Agents & Automation

Agents and automations wired into the systems a business already runs: support and back-office workflows, document and data handling, internal copilots, with integrations and guardrails.

Cloud & Infrastructure

Architecting, migrating and operating AWS and Azure environments — networking, compute, storage, backups and monitoring.

CI/CD & Deployment

Build and release pipelines, environment parity, deployment automation, and scripted operations that remove manual steps.

Access, Security & IT

Access control, secrets handling, hardened servers and VPN, plus the wider estate: identity, workspace tooling, vendor sprawl and licence waste.

Cloud Cost Optimisation

Idle compute, duplicate storage, overlapping hosting and legacy vendor billing — found, verified, switched off.

What each of these includes, who it suits and how an engagement runs

Applications you can open

Working demo applications, each on its own subdomain with the source on GitHub. Every link opens in a new tab.

Demonstrations: sample data stays in your own browser, and their assistants are simulated rather than connected models.

Multi-tenant SaaS

Opsboard

Business operations platform

Core platform a business runs its day on — accounts, roles, records and reporting, built to hold multiple teams on one deployment.

Web application

Slotly

Booking and scheduling system

Appointment and token flows with confirmations and an admin side, sized for real front-desk use.

Web application

Cartline

Ordering and storefront app

Catalogue, cart and order handling wired to payments, with the operational screens staff need.

Internal software

Deskgrid

Internal tools and dashboards

Data entry, approvals, exports and management reporting — replacing spreadsheets.

AI agent workflows

Agents plugged into existing systems for support and back-office work, with integrations, prompts and guardrails.

Cloud & IT consolidation

Multi-country IT estate brought under control

Full audit of a business running on cloud, workspace and vendor services nobody owned end to end — abandoned AWS resources retired, duplicate storage and overlapping hosting removed, access rebuilt, handed over documented.

Platform & delivery

Release pipeline for fast-scaling SaaS

Build and release automation across a multi-product SaaS estate — environment parity, containerised deployments, monitoring, and manual release steps removed from the path to production.

The series

  • Tech Series

    DevOps from the ground up: servers, cloud, networking, outages, pipelines, security incidents and system design.

  • AI Series

    AI put to work: prompts, tool choice, building your own setup, agents, and where the money and power are going.

  • Finance Series

    Money from first principles: mindset, saving, gold and silver, the stock market, mutual funds and SIPs.

  • Workplace Series

    How tech teams really operate: the gap between hiring and doing, and why documentation is leverage.

  • Learning in Action

    The personal log: part-time jobs, FundUp, and freelancing from the first client to closing the chapter.

  • Standalone

    Pieces that belong to no series: the orientation post, career moves, a product write-up and one-off arguments.

Two ways to start

The form goes straight to my own inbox — no third-party service, and nothing on this site tracks you.

For businesses

Two kinds of work: building — web applications, internal tools and AI agents for your business — and fixing — cloud, IT and infrastructure that needs looking at properly. A typical engagement runs in four steps.

  1. Audit — what is running, who has access, what it costs.
  2. Plan — a written picture of what to fix first and why.
  3. Build or implement — the application, the agent, the pipelines, access and monitoring, hands-on.
  4. Handover — documentation your team can run without me.
