Engineering trust into every cloud I touch

I'm a Solution Architect and Senior Cloud Technologist based in Dubai, UAE, currently leading cloud operations at AW Rostamani Group. Over the past 15+ years I've moved through NOC engineering, hybrid cloud administration, technical leadership and solution architecture — giving me a rare end-to-end view of infrastructure, from the data center floor to the boardroom cost report.

My focus is green-field cloud adaptation: designing landing zones, migrating fleets of virtual machines with minimal downtime, and automating everything with Terraform, GitHub Actions and PowerShell. I've built FinOps dashboards that give leadership real visibility into multi-cloud spend, and I care deeply about disaster recovery discipline — running yearly DR drills with a 5-minute RPO and 1-hour RTO for business-critical systems.
