About Me

"""

Hi! I'm Ahmed, a DevOps Engineer with a B.Sc. in Computer Science and 3+ years building infrastructure automation and CI/CD pipelines in production healthcare environments.

I bridge the gap between development and operations — containerizing workloads with Docker and Kubernetes, designing multi-environment GitHub Actions pipelines, and eliminating manual toil through Python and PowerShell automation. My background spans microservice architecture, cloud platforms (GCP, Azure, AWS), and enterprise IT systems like Active Directory, SCCM, and ServiceNow.

Outside of work I'm deep into esports, automotive culture, modern history, and Islamic theology. Let's connect if you're building something that needs reliable infrastructure behind it.

Projects

def textara_app(Python, FastAPI, React, Docker, Kubernetes, RabbitMQ, GCP, GitHub Actions):

Production microservices platform converting Arabic PDFs to DOCX via an ML/OCR pipeline. Independently containerized services for OCR, auth, and document delivery — orchestrated via Kubernetes with horizontal auto-scaling. Multi-environment GitHub Actions CI/CD (dev/staging/prod) with automated image builds, registry pushes, and rolling deployments. Async OCR workloads decoupled from the API via RabbitMQ for fault-tolerant processing.
textara.app

def trustlens_extension(Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Docker, Chrome MV3, NLP):

Full-stack Chrome extension with a Dockerized FastAPI/PostgreSQL backend delivering real-time domain reputation scores, fact-check API signals, and NLP-based clickbait detection. Community rating system uses a bridging-based consensus algorithm to surface credibility signals at the browser layer.

def document_search_engine(Python, ElasticSearch, Kafka, Docker):

Microservice-based document wrangler for refining, ranking, and analyzing documents with user-defined lambda preprocessing functions. Event-driven pipeline using Kafka; services containerized with Docker for independent scalability.

def microservices_data_api(Python, FastAPI, SQL, SFTP):

FastAPI service ingesting CSV files from SFTP and loading records into SQL, exposing RESTful endpoints for downstream apps and real-time data access. Deployed at St. Joseph's Healthcare to replace a fully manual workflow, saving 10+ hours per week.

def printer_migration_tool(PowerShell, CSV):

Bulk conversion of Ricoh address book CSVs to HP format using PowerShell. Deployed across 200+ endpoints at St. Joseph's Healthcare, eliminating manual per-device configuration during a full fleet migration.

def rdp_web_server(Python, PicoNet, TCP/IP, Oracle VM):

Implemented from scratch a simple web server (SWS) framework following the HTTP protocol, enabling file transfer through a reliable datagram protocol (RDP) built over UDP.

def rl_controlled_car(Python, Gym Retro, RL):

Trains reinforcement learning agents in OpenAI Gym Retro to navigate obstacle courses. Compares agent policies in a tournament-style evaluation framework to identify best-performing strategies.

def stock_market_discord_bot(JavaScript, Node.js):

Semantic analysis of user questions for 24/7 channel moderation support, integrated with Alpha Vantage API to provide real-time stock market insights on demand.
