Hello, I'm Muhammad Ahmed Hashmi — DevOps Engineer turning infrastructure into production-grade, automated reality.
I design, automate, and secure cloud infrastructure with a focus on reliability, scalability, and compliance. With 4+ years of experience across AWS and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), I specialise in DevOps, Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD automation, and enterprise server security for regulated environments.
My core expertise covers Terraform, Docker, Jenkins, ELK Stack, Zabbix, and full Linux server management — building observable, hardened cloud systems aligned with HIPAA and SOC 2 compliance standards.
At PhishRod, I've managed production infrastructure for high-profile government and enterprise clients — including the Ministry of Justice, State Bank of Pakistan, and Saudi Royal Guards — delivering containerised deployments, centralised monitoring, disaster recovery pipelines, and CIS Benchmark-compliant environments at scale. I have been recognised as Employee of the Quarter and Employee of the Year for these contributions.
