I'm a DevOps engineer based in Morocco, working primarily with Azure. I focus on turning manual, error-prone deployment processes into automated, reliable pipelines: provisioning, containerization, CI/CD, and monitoring.
My approach is simple: if a task is done manually more than a couple of times, it should be automated.
"If it's not automated, it's not finished." "Without monitoring, you find out about problems from users, not dashboards."
Currently focused on:
Building deployment pipelines that require minimal manual intervention
and fail loudly rather than silently.| Principle | In practice |
|---|---|
| Automate repetition | Anything done by hand more than a couple of times becomes code or a pipeline |
| Infrastructure as Code | Environments are provisioned with Terraform, so they are versioned and reproducible |
| GitOps over clicking | Git is the source of truth, and changes are promoted through branches |
| Fail loudly | Pipelines should surface problems immediately instead of hiding them |
| Monitor everything | Prometheus and Grafana, so problems show up on dashboards before users report them |

Automating Apache NiFi deployments so manual UI configuration is no longer required in production
What it does:
- Automates NiFi deployments across Dev, Staging, and Production
- Uses a GitOps workflow with branch-based promotion (develop → staging → main)
- Integrates with NiFi Registry so every change is version-controlled and traceable
- Removes the manual deployment steps that previously caused most errors
Results:
| Metric | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment time | 2 hours | 15 minutes |
| Manual/human errors | Frequent | Eliminated |
| New developer onboarding | 2 days | About 4 hours |

Terraform provisions the Azure environments (Dev/Staging/Prod)
GitHub Actions detects changes and triggers deployment
NiFi Registry and Git hooks keep everything synchronized automatically
