Forward Deployed
Engineer

I'm Ahmed. I embed with teams to design, build, and operate the systems behind real products — from Kubernetes and AWS down to Go and Python services. I own the path from a customer's problem to something running in production.

About

I bridge the gap between customer problems and production engineering.

I'm a DevOps-oriented software engineer who works where the product meets the customer. Rather than tossing code over a wall, I sit close to the problem — designing, building, and operating the systems that make a solution real.

My work spans distributed systems and multi-OS provisioning platforms. At GoMyDesk I built ACK-based Kubernetes provisioning for Windows, Linux, and macOS desktops on AWS. At RIADVICE I architected SpoutBreeze, an open-source webinar platform of fully containerized microservices on Kubernetes with real-time video.

Whatever the layer — infrastructure, backend, or the interface itself — I care about automation, system reliability, and getting things into production where they create value.

Forward Deployment

Embed directly with customers and teams to translate messy, real-world problems into systems that ship — owning the path from whiteboard to production.

Cloud-Native Infrastructure

Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, ArgoCD and AWS — automated provisioning, observability with Prometheus/Grafana, and CI-ready deployments.

Backend Systems

Reliable, well-tested services in Go (Gin, Cobra), Python (FastAPI) and Java — APIs and distributed systems built to run in production.

Toolkit

Technologies I reach for across infrastructure, backend, and product — chosen for reliability and getting solutions in front of users.

Have a problem worth embedding on, or a team that needs an engineer who ships end-to-end? I'd love to hear about it.
