README / ABOUT

Hi, I'm Rizwan 👋

DevOps Engineer in Birmingham, building and automating reliable AWS infrastructure.

I bring an operations mindset to cloud engineering: solve the problem, test the solution and keep improving.

mindset: consistency compounds
method: build → test → learn

Beyond the terminal.

I didn't start my career in technology, but I've always enjoyed figuring out how things work and finding better ways of doing them.

What draws me to cloud engineering is the combination of problem-solving and creativity. I enjoy taking an idea, building something practical, breaking it, troubleshooting it and eventually understanding exactly why it works.

For me, the best part isn't simply getting something deployed. It's being able to explain how it works, why I built it that way and what I'd improve next.
