I keep critical systems calm under load— designing, automating and operating scalable cloud infrastructure on AWS & Azure at Amazon.
Reliability is a discipline, not an accident.
01 — 05Hello! I'm Yazn, a passionate DevOps Engineer with a strong background in designing, automating, and operating scalable cloud infrastructure across AWS and Azure.
My journey involves building reliable CI/CD pipelines, automating deployments using Infrastructure as Code (like Terraform and AWS CDK), and implementing secure, high-availability systems that keep applications running smoothly.
Currently, I'm contributing to the platform's stability and growth at Amazon (Payment Services), where I apply my expertise in modern cloud-native technologies.
