About Haitam

I build and operate production infrastructure that development teams rely on—from Linux systems, virtualisation and secure access to CI/CD automation, observability and private AI workloads.
Over the past 7+ years, my work has evolved from R&D software engineering and systems integration into nearly 4 years focused on infrastructure and DevOps. In my current role within a high-confidentiality government environment, I act as the primary technical contributor for infrastructure initiatives: researching technologies, evaluating alternatives, designing architectures, preparing technical recommendations and implementing approved solutions.
My hands-on experience includes Proxmox VE, LXC and KVM, Docker and Docker Compose, GitLab CI/CD, Prometheus, Grafana, cAdvisor, Uptime Kuma, GlitchTip, Cisco VLANs, Fortigate, Teleport, Caddy, Cloudflare, DNS/TLS, Bash, Python and NVIDIA GPU infrastructure.
I have built and maintained self-hosted developer platforms and deployed private LLM inference using Ollama, enabling internal AI use without exposing sensitive information to external providers.
Earlier in my career, I worked on Python automation, Dockerized workloads and internal R&D prototypes based on Signal and Matrix. This involved backend services, mobile clients, PostgreSQL, Redis, STUN/TURN, WebRTC, Firebase Cloud Messaging, deployment and ongoing maintenance.
I also delivered the Laravel backend and VPS deployment for Mawid.ma, a multi-service appointment-booking platform, including GitHub Actions, domain and DNS configuration, TLS and collaboration with the mobile developer.
I am currently building practical expertise in Terraform, Ansible, AWS and Kubernetes, with the goal of extending my production infrastructure foundation into cloud-native infrastructure and platform engineering.
