My name's Ibrahim Kabbash

I'm a DevOps Engineer with a focus on automation and cloud infrastructure, dedicated to improving system reliability, optimizing workflows, and integrating security best practices.

01. About

I'm a DevOps Engineer driven by self-learning and a constant curiosity to explore new technologies, tools, and methodologies. I enjoy diving deep into systems, understanding how they work, and finding ways to improve them. This passion extends to troubleshooting challenges, optimizing workflows, and building automated solutions that enhance efficiency and reliability. I'm always looking for ways to push the boundaries of what's possible.

I'm especially interested in DevSecOps, exploring ways to integrate security into automation and infrastructure. I'm also interested in MLOps, learning about deploying and managing machine learning models.
