Faizan Fayyaz
DevOps & Cloud Engineer / Aspiring SRE
I build and operate cloud infrastructure on AWS — from Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, to CI/CD pipelines, to production-style reliability engineering with monitoring, automation, and incident runbooks. I also build practical automation tools powered by AI.
About
Engineer who ships infrastructure, not just theory.
I'm a DevOps-focused engineer who learns by building real infrastructure rather than just studying theory. My work spans provisioning cloud resources by hand, automating deployments with CI/CD, codifying infrastructure with Terraform, and operating production-style systems with the mindset of a Site Reliability Engineer — monitoring, alerting, incident response, and clear documentation.
I'm currently based in the UK and looking for DevOps / Cloud / SRE roles, ideally with visa sponsorship support. Alongside infrastructure work, I build practical software — including an AI-powered job search automation tool using Claude and Playwright.
