Hi, I'm Yazan.
I'm a Senior DevOps Engineer. I love bringing order to chaotic infrastructure, turning manual tasks into automated bliss, and building robust, scalable platforms.
Over the past several years, I've had the privilege of working with amazing teams. I specialize in CI/CD automation, cloud infrastructure, incident management, and building robust platforms.
Beyond the code, I am an active contributor to open-source software, spending the last 4+ years sharing what I know as a Technical Writer for the Fedora Project. I genuinely enjoy the process of learning and helping other developers scale their projects seamlessly.
