lamine.cloud status: all systems operational
Available for DevOps / Platform / SRE roles

I keep critical platforms running.

Senior DevOps / Platform / SRE engineer. I deploy, secure and operate cloud & on-prem infrastructure in high availability: Kubernetes, IaC, CI/CD, observability. 5+ years, multi-cloud, banking-grade.

COSSUEL · AWS ECS Fargate

Surviving the Grand Magal traffic wall

A national compliance-certificate platform buckling under event traffic. I re-architected it for high availability and taught it to scale before the storm, not after.

  • Peaks of ~50,000 req/hour, up to 10× during the Grand Magal of Touba
  • Predictive pre-scaling + reactive ECS target-tracking on request rate
  • p95 latency 13s → ~1s; multi-AZ, health checks, failover
  • All of it on a lean budget, <$300/mo AWS bill after rightsizing & autoscaling
CBAO Senegal · Data as a Service

A bank's data platform, from bare metal to production

Stood up and now operate the bank's on-prem Data as a Service platform in HA, provisioned entirely as code, secured end to end.

  • On-prem Kubernetes via Ansible + Helm, deploys through Jenkins
  • Operate NiFi · Kafka · Spark · Trino · Iceberg · OpenMetadata · Superset
  • DevSecOps: Keycloak SSO, Harbor, CA & secrets, cluster hardening
  • Full observability: Prometheus · Grafana · ELK
Gravitas Group · Security

Bringing a compromised cluster back from the dead

Forensic investigation and recovery of a breached Kubernetes environment for an identity / eKYC platform, then hardening so it wouldn't happen twice.

  • Restored services & backups after compromise
  • Secret rotation, access isolation, governance
  • Supervision & alerting rebuilt from scratch
Telrai · Co-founder & CTO

Running a medical-imaging platform, end to end

I co-founded Telrai ↗, a teleradiology platform, and I run all of its infrastructure and operations.

  • Full AWS estate: EC2, S3, AWS HealthImaging (DICOM store) with SigV4 proxying
  • CI/CD via Bitbucket Pipelines + Docker; hardened fallback deploy path
  • Cloudflare edge (TLS, cache, WAF) + nginx reverse-proxy tuning
  • Multi-site hosting (app / viewer / admin), health checks & monitoring in production
COSSUEL / Senelec · Data migration

MySQL → MongoDB, zero downtime

Migrated a live production database from MySQL to MongoDB with no service interruption, I built the whole procedure end to end, from schema reshaping to a verified cutover.

  • Node.js pipeline: transform, bulk sync, row-level compare & deep-verify
  • Continuous incremental sync (cron + PM2), zero downtime
  • Automated data-integrity checks before cutover
  • Idempotent & re-runnable, recovered cleanly from a mid-run data loss

Reverse-chronological, like any good log.
