Aymen Segni

Hi there 👋 ^^
I'm Aymen and I'm a dedicated Platform / Site Reliability Engineering Leader with over a decade of experience in architecting, building, deploying, and managing large-scale Cloud platforms and Kubernetes/Containers environments.
I'm a proven leader in driving Cloud Native transformations, enhancing SRE practices, and ensuring secure, efficient, and resilient systems.

I help my mentees in their SRE and DevOps journey by working on real-world projects, they learn by doing how to provision Cloud Native Platforms in the Cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure,..) using Infra as Code (Terraform, Pulumi,...) and managed Kubernetes clusters (EKS, GKE, AKS, ..) following the DevOps and SRE principles such IaC, Git, CI/CD, GitOps, Monitoring, Observability, SLOs, Tracing, Microservices,... with collaboration on Git (Github), Code Review, Pull Requests, and Pair Programming.
I am also helping experienced engineers to become the next successful Engineering Manager / Technical Leader in SRE and DevOps disciplines.
