About Faysal

DevOps Engineer, Cloud Architect, and AI Architect, I help companies modernize their information systems, migrate to the cloud, and industrialize their platforms. I work with a very hands-on approach, from defining the architecture to implementing and supporting production environments.

My positioning is both technical and cross-functional: I design robust, scalable, and secure infrastructures while facilitating collaboration between development, operations, architecture teams, and business stakeholders. I also manage Build and Run initiatives, provide technical coordination, handle incident and change management, and drive continuous improvement of DevOps practices.

I work on cloud migration projects, infrastructure as code deployments, containerization, CI/CD automation, monitoring, performance optimization, and application security. I also bring significant value to urbanization, mapping, technical documentation, and architecture design.

In parallel, I am developing expertise in Artificial Intelligence applied to business uses: implementing RAG solutions, configuring MCP, deploying AI agents, and integrating LLM services into existing environments.

Accustomed to complex contexts, I bring a pragmatic, results-oriented vision with a real ability to transform business needs into concrete, reliable, and actionable technical solutions.

Environments: AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Linux, GitLab, Jenkins, Grafana, Zabbix, ELK, Nginx, Apigee, Ansible.
