About Me

SK
Available for Work

Started with Linux servers in Islamabad, now building real-time AI analytics pipelines and Kubernetes clusters. I bridge traditional SysAdmin expertise with modern DevOps practices — from securing servers with Fail2Ban and iptables to deploying microservices on Kubernetes with full CI/CD automation.

Currently pursuing a Bachelor's in AIOps — a forward-thinking intersection of AI and IT Operations that shapes how I approach every infrastructure challenge.
