About

Location: Chicago, IL | Email: mohiuddin.tauseefm@gmail.com As a Cloud and DevOps Engineer, I don’t just automate tasks, I architect reliability. My passion lies in taking complex, friction-heavy deployment processes and transforming them into sleek, "zero-touch" pipelines that empower development teams to ship code without fear. I thrive at the intersection of infrastructure automation, security compliance, and system observability. Throughout my career, I’ve focused on one core mission: eliminating downtime and technical debt through rigorous engineering. Whether orchestrating Kubernetes clusters for fintech giants or designing serverless frameworks for high-volume data ingestion, I approach every challenge with a focus on cost-efficiency and performance. What I bring to the table: 1. Impact-Driven Engineering: At Mastercard, I optimized cloud resources to reduce infrastructure spend by $12,000 monthly and slashed build-to-deployment cycles from 45 to 12 minutes, enabling rapid hotfixes without service interruption. 2. Scalable Architecture: I have designed serverless ingestion frameworks capable of handling 2 million daily records with zero downtime and managed microservices supporting thousands of internal users. 3. Security-First Mindset: From fortifying Kubernetes clusters against PCI-DSS standards to integrating SonarQube and Vault into pipelines, I believe security should be an enabler, not a bottleneck. 4. Automation Expertise: I specialize in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible) to reduce provisioning times from days to hours, ensuring environments are consistent, compliant, and ready for scale. My background spans both AWS and Oracle Cloud ecosystems, backed by AWS Solutions Architect and DevOps Engineer Professional certifications. I am deeply proficient in Terraform, Kubernetes, Jenkins, and Python, always looking for the next opportunity to leverage these tools to solve critical business problems. I am driven by the challenge of building systems that are robust enough to handle peak loads yet flexible enough to evolve with the business. If you are looking for a partner to elevate your cloud strategy or streamline your DevOps culture, let’s connect. Core Tech Stack: 1. Cloud: AWS (Lambda, RDS, EC2), Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Azure 2. DevOps: Terraform, Ansible, Docker, Kubernetes (EKS/OKE), Jenkins, GitHub Actions 3. Observability: Datadog, Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana 4. Security: IAM, OPA Gatekeeper, DevSecOps, PCI-DSS Compliance
