👋

Hello, I`m Yaad. I`m a senior cloud software engineer & tech lead with 6+ years of experience. I design CI/CD platforms, cloud infrastructure, and AI agents. My focus is DevOps, IaC (Terraform), and AWS/GCP.

About me

I am a Senior Cloud Software Engineer and Tech Lead at Intel Corporation, specializing in platform engineering, high-scale DevOps orchestration, and reliable software delivery. I focus on turning complex infrastructure and pipeline bottlenecks into highly automated, repeatable systems, and I thrive when leading technical strategy, mentoring engineers, and raising engineering standards.

My core professional expertise centers on building robust on-premises cloud infrastructure, optimizing massive enterprise CI/CD workflows, and developing custom automation tooling. To continuously expand my technical horizon, I dedicate my personal projects to mastering public cloud ecosystems (AWS & GCP) and building autonomous AI agents with LangChain to eliminate operational toil and streamline developer workflows.

My technical toolkit spans Python, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Terraform, Kubernetes, and Docker, with hands-on full-stack experience in React/Next.js for engineering portals. I bridge the gap between heavy infrastructure automation and modern software development.
