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
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
Designed and deployed a cost-optimized, highly available AWS infrastructure for Tal9i7.tn using Terraform. Integrated EC2 Auto Scaling, RDS, S3 static hosting, CloudFront, and Lambda@Edge for backend origin routing. Implemented full automation with serverless Lambda functions for scheduled EC2/RDS start-stop, backend origin switching, Route 53 DNS updates, and dynamic CloudFront security group synchronization.
This project was built using my open-source EcoAuto AWS Terraform template.
Tools: AWS (EC2, ASG, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Lambda@Edge, Route 53, ACM, IAM, CloudWatch, EventBridge), Terraform, Jenkins, GitLab CI, Docker
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 for development, testing, and production.
Tools: Jenkins, Ansible, PostgreSQL, Oracle SQL, OpenShift, Selenium
Created a scalable messaging system at Vermeg, using KEDA for auto-scaling and Argo CD for smooth GitOps deployments. Monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana ensured peak performance.
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.
