Hi, I'm Yazan
I'm an AIOps Engineer fusing AI Agent Engineering with MLOps to transform infrastructure—turning manual operations into intelligent, self-healing systems powered by SRE and DevOps best practices.
Over the past 6+ years, I've architected and scaled cloud platforms across high-profile government institutions, Middle Eastern retail conglomerates, and fast-paced tech startups.
Beyond cloud platforms, I actively contribute to open-source software, spending 4+ years sharing technical knowledge as an official writer for the Fedora Project.

Working with Me
A concise guide to how I communicate, collaborate, and solve infrastructure challenges.
Doc-First & Async Communication
I document architecture decisions (ADRs) and runbooks to reduce context-switching and enable autonomous team execution.
Toil Reduction & Automation
If a manual task has to be performed twice, it belongs in an automation script or declarative IaC template.
Actionable Alerting Over Noise
Alerts must correlate to customer impact and feature clear runbooks to avoid pager fatigue.
Blameless Post-Mortems
Outages are learning opportunities; I lead blameless reviews to identify systemic gaps in architecture.
