About Althaf Ali

Senior DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure Consultant | AWS · Docker · Terraform • Ansible • Linux • CI/CD | Berlin

I help companies build reliable, automated, and cost-efficient cloud infrastructure, so their teams can ship faster without worrying about what’s running underneath.
With 11+ years of hands-on experience across AWS and on-premise environments, I’ve worked with companies like Tesla and enterprise-scale organizations to design infrastructure that actually holds up in production.

What I bring to the table:
•Cloud cost optimization — automated AWS snapshot cleanup that saved one client €15K/month
•CI/CD pipelines — Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab from scratch to production
•Container infrastructure — Docker, Kubernetes, ECS Fargate at scale
•Infrastructure as Code — Terraform, Ansible, AWS CDK for repeatable, auditable deployments
•Reliability & monitoring — Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager — I don’t just set up dashboards, I make sure alerts mean something
•Migrations — zero-downtime database migrations from on-prem and AWS RDS to Azure SQL

I work independently, communicate clearly, and deliver without hand-holding.
