I'm a DevOps Engineer, full-stack developer, and cybersecurity analyst with over 6 years of hands-on experience building, securing, and operating production systems end-to-end. I work across the full lifecycle , from infrastructure provisioning and CI/CD pipelines to backend services, frontend interfaces, and security audits so a single engagement can cover what would otherwise need three specialists. My core stack spans three domains: DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure - Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and Ansible; CI/CD pipeline engineering on GitLab CI (also Azure DevOps); secrets management and PKI with HashiCorp Vault; full LGTM observability stack (Grafana, Loki, Tempo, Mimir, Prometheus) with OpenTelemetry instrumentation; container deployment with Docker and Podman; hybrid cloud + on-prem operations across Proxmox and Azure; zone-segmented networking with deny-by-default firewall, WireGuard, Tailscale, and Cloudflare edge. Full-Stack Development - React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, and C++; modern UI work with Tailwind, GSAP, and Radix/shadcn; REST and GraphQL APIs; databases including PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, MySQL, and Redis. Cybersecurity - penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, and security audits using Kali Linux, Metasploit, and Burp Suite. Security-first mindset applied across every layer of the work — from VLAN design to application code. What sets me apart is the range: I can take an idea from architecture and Terraform modules through to a hardened, monitored, deployable production system — without handing off to a different specialist at each layer. Available for: - DevOps & SRE engagements - Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD pipeline design, observability rollouts, secrets/PKI implementation - Cloud migration and hybrid cloud architecture (Azure + on-prem, container platforms) - Full-stack web application development (React / Next.js + Node.js / TypeScript) - Cybersecurity assessments and penetration testing - Database design, optimization, and management - System administration and IT support - Mobile application development - AI/ML integration projects

I build infrastructure that stays up when it matters. Government platforms for 2M+ citizens, banking systems for 1M+ users, and AI rendering stacks on GPU Kubernetes clusters. Shipped on time, documented for the team that inherits it. 5+ years owning the full stack: physical hardware, hypervisors, Kubernetes, service mesh, cloud networking, CI/CD, observability, and GPU AI workloads. Across government, fintech, SaaS, and deep-tech startups. Government Scale — OpenG2P Ethiopia, 3 Ministries Leading platform engineering for Ethiopia's national OpenG2P welfare system across ATI, MoWSA, and EDRMC. Serving 2M+ beneficiaries on RKE2 with Rancher, Istio mTLS, Keycloak SSO, WireGuard site-to-site VPN, XCP-ng hypervisor with Hardware RAID 1+0, and a full Prometheus + Grafana + Alertmanager + Loki observability stack. Currently executing a large-scale ODK to OpenG2P data migration with schema mapping, validation pipelines, audit trails, and phased rollback. AWS Serverless Architecture — WeTruck Architect and operator of WeTruck's serverless logistics platform. CloudFront to ALB to WAF (deny-by-default with Telebirr payment gateway IP whitelisting) to Lambda (FastAPI via Mangum). Fully Terraformed infrastructure. GitHub Actions with OIDC federation (zero long-lived credentials), RDS PostgreSQL, DynamoDB for JWT token store, SQS with dead-letter queue, Secrets Manager, AWS Amplify for three Next.js frontends (back-office, transporter, shipper), and Route 53 private/public DNS. I own production incidents end-to-end and authored the full deployment runbook and troubleshooting playbook. AWS in daily use: Lambda, EC2, EKS, CloudFront, ALB, WAF, RDS, DynamoDB, SQS, Secrets Manager, Amplify, ECR, Route 53, IAM OIDC, VPC (private subnets, NAT Gateway, VPC endpoints), CloudWatch, ACM. MPLS and AI Rendering Infrastructure — MetaPlux (Tech Lead) Tech Lead on a distributed GPU-aware AI rendering platform. MPLS networks for deterministic, low-latency routing across distributed rendering nodes with label-switched paths and traffic engineering for QoS-sensitive GPU workload traffic. BGP and OSPF routing across hybrid environments connecting on-premises GPU clusters to cloud egress points. WireGuard VPN tunnels for secure, auditable connectivity. Multi-cloud strategy across AWS and Azure for rendering workload distribution. Platform architecture for GPU-aware Kubernetes scheduling and job orchestration. This role sits at the intersection of deep networking and modern cloud infrastructure, the combination most DevOps engineers don't have. AI and GPU Infrastructure — Exponent.ch (Switzerland) Provisioned and managed NVIDIA GPU-enabled RKE2 clusters running AI and automation workloads: n8n, Langfuse LLM observability, LibreChat, and ClickHouse analytics. Standardized Helm deployments across 5+ environments using shared-stacks architecture. Integrated Teleport for zero-trust cluster access, automated secrets via Lade and 1Password. Prometheus + Grafana + Mimir observability with 99.9% metric coverage, 60% MTTR reduction, and 3 critical outages prevented through proactive alerting. Banking Infrastructure — 6 Ethiopian Banks, 1M+ Users Delivered high-availability mobile banking and USSD platforms for Siinqee Bank, Hijra Bank, Wegagen Bank, and others with 99.95% uptime across 1M+ users. Designed MPLS network architecture for multi-branch WAN connectivity with QoS for transaction data. Built Jenkins CI/CD for Maven Java apps (4 hours to 15 minutes). ELK processing 10TB+ daily logs. Proxmox and AWS hybrid cloud with ~35% cost reduction. Full Technical Stack Container Orchestration: Kubernetes (RKE2, EKS, K3s), Docker, Helm, Rancher, OpenShift Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, Terragrunt, Ansible, OpenTofu CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins Cloud: AWS (full suite), Azure, OpenStack Networking: MPLS, BGP, OSPF, WireGuard, HAProxy, NGINX, VLAN, VPC design Service Mesh: Istio (mTLS, traffic policies, ingress) Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Mimir, Alertmanager, Loki, OpenTelemetry, ELK, Zabbix, SigNoz Security and Identity: Keycloak, HashiCorp Vault, Teleport, IAM OIDC Virtualization: Proxmox, XCP-ng, VMware AI and Automation: NVIDIA GPU Kubernetes, YOLO, ONNX, TensorRT, n8n, Langfuse, LibreChat, ClickHouse Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, DynamoDB Backend: Python (FastAPI), Bash, Node.js How I work I overcommunicate early, give realistic timelines, and ship verified, not "it should work." I treat testing as the real deliverable, not a checkbox. If something is out of scope or a bad idea, I'll tell you before you spend money on it. Message me if you need: - AWS or Kubernetes infrastructure built or fixed - CI/CD pipelines developers actually trust - GPU and AI infrastructure with inference pipelines and observability - Migration from cloud to cloud, or on-prem to production cloud - MPLS, BGP, or complex network architecture across hybrid environments - Observability that catches problems before users do
