Hi, I'm Yazan

AIOps & DevOps Engineer

I fuse AI agent engineering with MLOps to turn manual operations into intelligent, self-healing systems, grounded in SRE and DevOps best practices.

For 6+ years I've designed and scaled highly available cloud platforms and air-gapped infrastructure for government institutions, retail groups, and tech startups. I also write for Fedora Magazine.
