Projects

Production AWS Infrastructure
Designed and deployed production AWS infrastructure with VPC networking, ECS clusters, Route 53 DNS, and automated SSL via ACM. Configured security groups and IAM policies following least-privilege principles.
Impact — Zero-downtime deployments and automated certificate management.

CI/CD Pipeline — Docker Build & ECR Push
Built a GitHub Actions workflow for automated Docker image builds, vulnerability scanning, and ECR pushes. Every merge to main triggers build, test, and deploy stages with proper rollback on failure.
Impact — Fully automated build-test-push pipeline, eliminating manual deployments.

ECS Service Deployments
Deployed and maintained containerized services on AWS ECS using Copilot CLI. Configured health checks, auto-scaling policies, CloudWatch logging, and multi-environment management.
Impact — Reliable service lifecycle with monitoring, log aggregation, and safe rollback.

// about

What I do

I’m Zakaria Ait Ali, a DevOps and Cloud Engineer based in Morocco. I work on production infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, AWS environments, containerized services, observability, and deployment reliability. My focus is building practical cloud systems that are secure, maintainable, and easy for development teams to use.

I believe in infrastructure as code, automation over manual processes, and monitoring everything that matters. If it can’t be deployed safely and observed in real time, it’s not done.
