DevOps Engineer / Platform Engineer

Abderrahmane Ouroui

OCI Platform Engineer building Terraform, OKE, networking, and observability runways for production systems

I help teams move cloud changes safely from architecture to release with guardrails, automation, and operational visibility.

OCI

architecture

Identity, networking, compute, storage, Autonomous Database, and service boundaries.

IaC

Terraform

State-aware modules, reviewable plans, environment gates, and controlled infrastructure change.

Runtime

OKE / K8s

OKE workload paths, private services, release validation, rollback readiness, and health signals.

traceable data/ML paths

Cloud standards, not cloud lock-in

OCI is my deepest production environment. The standards are portable: Terraform, Kubernetes, secure networking, IAM, CI/CD, observability, cost awareness, and MLOps foundations can be adapted across AWS, GCP, Azure, and other clouds.

Cloud architecture

OCI foundations

Design the base cloud shape: identity, network, compute, storage, and database.

Design OCI foundations across IAM, compartments, VCN, compute, storage, Autonomous Database, and trusted service paths.

Runtime platforms

PaaS + containers

Start PaaS work from scratch and package Kubernetes platform components with Helm.

Started a Platform-as-a-Service project from scratch while building runtime paths for Kubernetes platform packaging with Helm, compute, container images, private services, scaling, validation, and high availability.

OKEK8sHelmDocker

Secure networking

Auth to app flow

Connect users, gateways, Traefik, functions, services, and databases through controlled paths.

Shape authenticated traffic paths across load balancing, API gateways, Traefik, OCI Functions, Okta, and database services.

Terraform / IaC

Stateful control

Turn infrastructure changes into reviewed, repeatable, state-aware delivery.

Design module boundaries, preserve state, audit shared changes, and make OCI delivery repeatable.

CI/CD + release

Dev to prod runway

Move change across environments with validation, rollback, and release checks.

Promote change through dev, test, stage, and prod with validation, rollback planning, post-release checks, and automation.

GitLabJenkinsCI/CDArtifacts

Observability

Signals + alarms

Make production behavior visible through logs, metrics, alarms, and dashboards.

Improve detection and troubleshooting with OCI Logging, OCI Monitoring, Grafana, alarms, data freshness, and capacity signals.

Data platforms

ADB + pipelines

Support database, object storage, Spark, and private data movement workflows.

Support Autonomous Database, Object Storage, OCI Data Flow, Spark/PySpark, streams, and data movement workflows.

MLOps foundations

MLflow + pipelines

Prepare private model training, tracking, artifact flow, and GPU-ready platform paths.

Enable MLflow, OCI Data Science jobs and pipelines, OCIR images, dataset buckets, model artifacts, and GPU readiness.

proof of work

Patterns I can take on.

Architecture, automation, runtime, and reliability patterns shaped by production work.

PaaS from scratch

0 to 1 platform service -> architecture, Kubernetes packaging, delivery path, guardrails.
