ABOUT ME

I'm a DevOps & Cloud Engineer based in Tunis, Tunisia, focused on turning fragile, manual operations into automated, observable, self-healing systems. I design Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and Ansible, run containerized workloads on Kubernetes and Azure Kubernetes Service, and build CI/CD pipelines that ship .NET microservices with zero downtime.

At BH Assurance, I provision AKS clusters and Container Apps end-to-end, wire SonarQube into the pipeline for quality gates, and keep everything observable with Grafana, Loki and Prometheus. Before that, at Oxacloud, I rebuilt Jenkins-driven deployment workflows and optimized server infrastructure that cut manual deployment work by 70%.

I care about the full loop: provision it as code, ship it safely, watch it in production, and automate away whatever breaks twice. That mindset is what I bring to every cloud environment I touch.
