Mohammed Khaja Khizer

As a DevOps Engineer, I specialize in automating software delivery through CI/CD pipelines and driving cross-functional collaboration. I leverage tools like Docker, Kubernetes, and Ansible for containerization, orchestration, and configuration management. I also have strong knowledge in infrastructure-as-code, using Terraform and GitLab for efficient deployments.


I am skilled in AWS for scalable and resilient cloud architectures, and I hold the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate certification. I also have sound knowledge on Azure and GCP cloud platforms. I am adept at monitoring and troubleshooting using Dynatrace, Datadog, and Prometheus. I am passionate about driving efficiency and innovation through automation.
