WORK HISTORY
Devops Lead Engineer @EY
At EY, I focused on building scalable, secure, and automated cloud infrastructure to accelerate software delivery and reduce operational overhead.I designed and implemented CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and GitLab CI/CD, reducing manual deployment errors and cutting release cycles by 40%. My containerization efforts with Docker and Kubernetes helped standardize environments and improve scalability across projects.To ensure infrastructure reliability, I integrated observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK, enabling proactive monitoring and reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR) by 35%. I also led infrastructure automation with Terraform and Ansible, significantly minimizing manual provisioning time.Working closely with cloud and security teams, I optimized AWS resources (EC2, EKS, S3, EMR), resulting in a 25% drop in cloud spend through smarter provisioning and auto-scaling. I also embedded security checks and compliance validations into the CI/CD workflow, improving system integrity and audit readiness.Key Impacts:Reduced manual efforts by 70% through infrastructure automation.Improved deployment success rate and rollback speed by optimizing CI/CD pipelines.Drove a 25% cost reduction by optimizing AWS usage and resource scaling.Enhanced observability, leading to faster incident detection and reduced downtime.Through these initiatives, I helped EY deliver more reliable software, respond to business needs faster, and scale DevOps practices across global teams.Automated infrastructure provisioning with Terraform and Ansible, cutting manual effort by 70% and freeing up time for strategic initiatives.Spearheaded a migration to Kubernetes and containerized applications, improving scalability and decreasing developer onboarding time by 40%.

ABOUT SYED TAHA AHMED
Senior DevOps Engineer with 7+ years of experience in automating infrastructure, architecting CI/CD pipelines, and enabling high-performing DevOps environments across AWS and Azure. I specialize in Kubernetes, Terraform, Kafka, Docker, and cloud cost optimization — with a strong focus on reliability, scalability, and performance.I bring hands-on expertise in deploying microservices, managing hybrid cloud environments, and driving automation-first strategies. My work bridges the gap between development and operations, enabling teams to ship faster, fail less, and recover smarter.What I Do:1. Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps)2. Automate infrastructure using Terraform, Ansible, and Helm3. Containerize apps with Docker and orchestrate with Kubernetes/OpenShift4. Monitor systems with ELK, Prometheus, Grafana, and integrate AIOps for proactive insights5. Collaborate across teams to implement SRE practices, cloud migration, and FinOps strategies6. I’m passionate about solving complex system challenges, improving developer workflows, and building modern DevOps platforms that scale with business needs.Let’s connect if you’re building something meaningful in the DevOps space :)
