MD. ABDULLAH AL ARIF

DevOps Engineer - infrastructure automation, container orchestration & cloud-native systems
3.5+ years shipping production infrastructure with a backend engineering foundation

LinkedIn GitHub Portfolio Email Profile Views


🎯 What I Do

I design and operate cloud-native infrastructure - Kubernetes clusters, GitOps pipelines, observability stacks, and event-driven platforms. My background in backend engineering means I understand the systems I'm deploying, which makes me a stronger DevOps engineer: I can debug at the code level, write infrastructure tooling in Python, and collaborate deeply with dev teams.

Currently targeting a DevOps Engineer role. Open to EU relocation with visa sponsorship.

💼 Experience

🏗️ Software Developer (DevOps & Backend) · One Direction Companies Limited · Aug 2024 – Present

📍 Dhaka, Bangladesh

DevOps work:

  • Provisioned and managed multi-node Kubernetes clusters with kubeadm and Ansible; configured horizontal pod autoscaling and resource limits to sustain 10× traffic spikes with zero downtime.
  • Designed GitOps CI/CD pipelines with Ansible, ArgoCD, Kubernetes, and GitHub Actions - cut release cycle time by 50% and eliminated manual deployment errors entirely.
  • Built production observability with Prometheus and Grafana: real-time dashboards, alerting rules, and automated on-call incident notifications.
  • Developed a custom Kong API Gateway plugin in Lua backed by Redis to enforce sliding-window rate limiting, protecting downstream services from spikes and abuse.
  • Managed infrastructure-as-code with Terraform; automated server provisioning and configuration management across environments.

Backend / platform work:

  • Architected a centralized GraphQL API via Apollo Federation unifying 15+ independent POS microservices into a single entry point.
  • Built an event-driven architecture with Apache Kafka for reliable async communication under high concurrency.
  • Defined API contracts, led code reviews, and maintained technical documentation for all platform services.
