Hello, my name is Ahmed AbouZaid, a Tech Lead DevOps Engineer. 👨💻
I'm a passionate Cloud-Native Engineer based in Berlin/Germany, lived on 3 continents, visited 17+ countries, and I'm still learning!
With 16+ years of open-source contribution, 12+ years of professional hands-on experience in DevOps, and an M.Sc. in Data Engineering from Edinburgh Napier University (UK), I enjoy facilitating the growth of both businesses and individuals.
I specialize in Cloud-Native and Kubernetes. I'm also a Free/Open source geek and book author. My favorite topics are DevOps transformation, DevSecOps, automation, data, and metrics.
In general, I'm interested in Career, Agile, DevOps, Kubernetes, Containers, CI/CD, and Automation. Besides hands-on experience, I hold/held a couple of professional certificates like CKS, CKA, CKAD, AWS SAA, AWS SOA, RHCE, and RHCSA.
