WORK HISTORY
Platform Engineer @bp
Milton Keynes, GB
Platform Engineer within the global platform engineering function, with responsibility for the reliability, security, and ongoing evolution of bp pulse’s cloud‑native platforms. I operate with end‑to‑end ownership across platform engineering, site reliability, cloud security, and DevOps enablement, supporting multiple product teams and business‑critical workloads at scale.I design, operate, and continuously improve AWS‑based Kubernetes (EKS) platforms across multiple environments, including cluster upgrades, add‑on lifecycle management, secrets‑store CSI integration, IAM remediation, and platform hardening. I act as a platform‑side SRE for production systems, regularly supporting high‑risk releases, contributing to incident response and root‑cause analysis, and driving long‑term reliability improvements.I contribute to platform‑level architectural decisions around networking and traffic patterns, simplifying service exposure, strengthening security boundaries, and reducing operational complexity and cloud cost through internal routing and load‑balancer optimisation.I lead observability improvements, including migration from AWS CloudWatch to Grafana‑based observability using Grafana Alloy, Loki, and OpenTelemetry, enabling centralised logging, dashboards, and alerting across multi‑account AWS estates.I take ownership of cloud security and governance work, remediating AWS security findings and embedding security controls into CI/CD pipelines. I also contributed to ISO/IEC 27001 compliance, supporting technical controls, evidence preparation, and participating in external audits.Tech: AWS, EKS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Azure DevOps, Grafana, Loki, OpenTelemetry, CI/CD, Cloud Security, SRE practices

ABOUT AAMIR SAEED
Platform Engineer specializing in scalable cloud infrastructure, high-performance systems optimization, and reliability engineering. I combine deep systems expertise with modern cloud-native platform operations—building infrastructure that scales efficiently while maintaining exceptional performance.I bring a unique combination of low-level systems engineering and cloud-native infrastructure expertise: • Cloud-Native Infrastructure at Scale: Multi-region AWS infrastructure orchestration using Kubernetes (EKS), Terraform, and GitOps (ArgoCD). Expert in building reliable, automated deployment pipelines and maintaining high-availability systems. AWS Certified DevOps Engineer Professional and Solutions Architect Associate. • Systems Performance & Optimization: Deep experience in Linux kernel tuning, network stack optimization, and performance engineering. Designed real-time systems achieving <50μs deterministic latency and optimized high-throughput data pipelines for 10Gbps+ networking. • Full-Stack Platform Engineering: From infrastructure provisioning (Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible) to observability (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) to CI/CD automation (GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins). I build platforms that enable engineering teams to ship faster and more reliably. • Software Engineering Foundation: Strong programming background in Python, C++, and Bash with experience building microservices, automation tooling, and infrastructure controllers. Currently learning Go for cloud-native development:Platform Engineer at BP, building and scaling cloud infrastructure for the BP Pulse EV charging platform. I design and maintain multi-region AWS environments, automate infrastructure provisioning, implement GitOps workflows, and establish observability practices that enable proactive incident resolution. My focus is on building reliable, scalable platforms that empower engineering teams to ship faster:Languages: Python, C++, C, Bash, Go (learning)Cloud Platforms: AWS (DevOps Engineer Professional, Solutions Architect Associate), Azure, GCPContainer Orchestration: Kubernetes (EKS), Docker, Helm, ArgoCDInfrastructure as Code: Terraform, CloudFormation, AnsibleObservability & Monitoring: Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Splunk, AWS CloudWatchCI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, Azure PipelinesPerformance Engineering: Linux kernel tuning, network optimization, HPC (OpenMPI, CUDA), FPGA design (Verilog/SystemVerilog)
