I’m Shams Aarize Siddique — a builder focused on platform engineering, cloud infrastructure, backend systems, and modern DevOps automation.

I design and operate scalable cloud platforms, automate infrastructure, optimize cloud costs, and build developer-first systems that make software delivery faster, safer, and more reliable.

My work sits at the intersection of:

• ☁️ Cloud Infrastructure
• ⚙️ Platform Engineering
• 🔐 Zero-Trust Security
• 📦 DevOps Automation
• 🤖 AI-powered Operations (AIOps)
• 🧠 Backend Systems Development

• 💰 Built FinOps automation systems reducing cloud costs by $50K+ monthly
• 🏗 Provisioned complete AWS environments using Terraform modular architecture
• 🔐 Built Zero-Trust secure access systems with AWS SSM, socat, and IAM authentication
• 🚀 Designed CI/CD pipelines for production-grade ECS microservices
• 🌍 Built Disaster Recovery systems with Route53 failover/failback automation
• 📊 Automated compliance evidence collection (HIPAA, SOC, HITRUST)
• 🧠 Built AI-powered applications integrating OpenAI APIs and custom ML workflows

• Platform Engineering & Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs)
• Kubernetes & Cloud-Native Infrastructure
• GitOps workflows and deployment automation
• AIOps (incident intelligence, anomaly detection, self-healing systems)
• Observability (logs, metrics, tracing)
• Distributed Systems & Reliability Engineering

Interested in collaborating on:

• Platform tooling ⚙️
• Infrastructure automation 🏗️
• DevOps & GitOps systems 🚀
