I’m Syed Aqib, an AWS, Linux, and Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with 5+ years of experience building and operating scalable, secure, and high-availability systems across enterprise environments.
My work spans Linux administration, cloud architecture, automation, containerization, and production operations, where I combine deep technical problem-solving with a practical engineering mindset. I specialize in designing optimized infrastructure, automating workflows through scripting & IaC, improving performance, and ensuring reliability for mission-critical applications.
Across my career, I’ve supported large-scale systems on AWS, managed production workloads, implemented CI/CD pipelines, and handled API gateways, monitoring, logging, and deployment automation. I bring a strong foundation in Linux, networking, DevOps practices, and cloud engineering, backed by hands-on experience with Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, MQ Series, NGINX, and Dynatrace.
Whether it’s provisioning cloud resources, automating infrastructure, troubleshooting complex issues, or strengthening system reliability, I focus on delivering resilient and secure environments that empower business growth.
I’m passionate about learning, refining operational excellence, and contributing to high-impact engineering teams across cloud, DevOps, and IT infrastructure roles.
