Senior Systems Engineer · DevOps Engineer · Cloud Architect · UNIX/Linux Engineer
Based in Oran, Algeria, I work at the intersection of systems engineering, cloud architecture, DevOps, cybersecurity, and product building. Over the past 9+ years, I have worked on infrastructure modernization, cloud cost optimization, CI/CD acceleration, operating system customization, enterprise software development, and security-focused engineering.
My work ranges from hybrid cloud architecture and platform engineering to kernel-level systems work, container hardening, and custom enterprise solutions. I enjoy building practical, resilient systems that reduce complexity, improve reliability, and create long-term technical leverage.
I am a hands-on engineer with experience across:
- Cloud & DevOps: AWS, Azure, GCP, CI/CD, infrastructure design, deployment automation
- Systems Engineering: Linux, UNIX, kernel tuning, OS design, UEFI, low-level performance work
- Cybersecurity: infrastructure hardening, vulnerability mitigation, penetration testing, disaster recovery
- Software Engineering: C, Python, Node.js, Kotlin, Bash, web stacks, ERP customization
- Virtualization & Platforms: VMware ESXi, vSphere, Hyper-V, Proxmox, hybrid datacenter environments
- Telecommunications & Networking: telecom infrastructure, fiber systems, distributed networking, routing
I am particularly interested in building secure infrastructure, custom Linux/Unix platforms, container ecosystems, and AI-enabled enterprise tooling.
