About Laabid

I help scale-ups and tech SMEs recover 20 to 40% of their AWS bill — and secure their cloud infrastructure before it gets really expensive.

15 years on AWS, EKS, Kubernetes, Terraform. No theory: only quantifiable results.

What I delivered:
- EKS Prefect Cluster: $4,500/month → $2,000/month via Karpenter + Bottlerocket (-55%)
- On-premises → AWS migration for TotalEnergies Geneva (strict sovereignty constraints)
- 100M+ user telecom platform (Reliance Jio, India) — high availability, zero downtime
- Cloud security: CBH Bank Geneva, SNCF, Enedis, 25+ African telecom operators (Sicap AG)

What I offer:

FinOps AWS/EKS — I analyze your cloud bill, identify waste, and implement optimizations. Visible results from month 1.

Cloud Security Audit — AWS + Kubernetes. OPA/Gatekeeper, Falco, GuardDuty, IAM. Report delivered in 2 weeks with a prioritized action plan.

Platform Engineering — ArgoCD, Terragrunt, Karpenter, Bottlerocket. I build or optimize your platform so your developers can deploy frictionlessly.

I work on a fixed-price basis, not daily rates. You know exactly what you pay for and what you get.
