About Me
👋
Hey! I'm Firas, a Cloud & DevOps Engineer who loves AWS and tries to automate everything—even watering plants if I could. I'm always building solid CI/CD pipelines, managing infrastructure with Terraform and Ansible, and exploring Kubernetes and GitOps to make life easier. I've also worked a bit with Azure, but AWS is where my heart is. I enjoy solving real problems and making technology work seamlessly.
Projects
Set up a production-ready infrastructure using Terraform and AWS EKS with full GitOps deployment. Laid out a highly available VPC across two AZs, with dual NAT gateways and secure access via a bastion host. Configured EC2 node groups with autoscaling and used IRSA for secure pod access to ECR.
Integrated ArgoCD and Helm for application delivery through ALB Ingress Controller. Installed Prometheus, Grafana, SonarQube, and Trivy using an EC2-based bootstrap script. CI/CD flows were wired through CircleCI for builds, scans, and image pushes.
Tools: AWS (EKS, EC2, VPC, ALB, ECR, IAM, Route 53), Terraform, Helm, ArgoCD, CircleCI, Prometheus, Grafana, SonarQube, Trivy
Designed and deployed a cost-optimized, highly available AWS infrastructure using Terraform. Integrated EC2 Auto Scaling, RDS, S3 static hosting, CloudFront, and Lambda@Edge for backend origin routing. Automated EC2 and RDS start-stop, DNS updates, and CloudFront security group syncing with Lambda functions.
This project powers infrastructure behind Tal9i7.tn.
Tools: AWS (EC2, ASG, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Lambda@Edge, Route 53, ACM, IAM, CloudWatch, EventBridge), Terraform, GitLab CI, Docker
Fully completed the Cloud Resume Challenge using AWS and Terraform. Designed a serverless infrastructure with an S3-hosted static website, API Gateway, Lambda, and DynamoDB. Implemented CI/CD with GitHub Actions and added real-time monitoring with CloudWatch + SNS.
Tools: AWS (S3, CloudFront, ACM, Route 53, Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, CloudWatch, SNS, IAM), Terraform, GitHub Actions
Built a smart platform to automate enterprise deployments on WildFly and IBM WebSphere. Streamlined release workflows with Ansible, CI/CD, and database scripting. The system was deployed on OpenShift and included automated tests with a multi-environment CI/CD pipeline.
Tools: Jenkins, Ansible, PostgreSQL, Oracle SQL, OpenShift, Selenium
Created a scalable messaging system at Vermeg using KEDA for auto-scaling and Argo CD for GitOps deployments. Monitored everything with Prometheus and Grafana to ensure peak performance.
This repository is a simplified prototype of the full system.
Tools: Docker, Kubernetes, Argo CD, Jenkins, Helm, KEDA, Prometheus, Grafana, ActiveMQ

My Career Timeline
My first tech experience ever, I built a real-time banking app and learned the *true* meaning of "debugging in production". A great intro to development and teamwork in a corporate setting.
Got my first hands-on with CI/CD, automation, and monitoring. Improved pipeline efficiency and reduced manual errors. Fell in love with DevOps during this summer adventure.
Returned to Vermeg for my final internship. Built a full automation platform, multi-environment CI/CD pipelines, and slashed deployment time by 42%. This project made me realize how much I love building efficient systems at scale.
