About Me

Greetings! I am a Principal DevOps Engineer and AWS Certified Cloud Professional with 9 years of software engineering experience: 4 years in DevOps and 7 years as a mobile lead.

Husnain Ali - Principal DevOps Engineer
Leading DevOps & Mobile from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Available remotely or on-site, open to relocation.

Based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on a transferable Iqama, I work with teams across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, remotely or on-site. I am open to relocating to the job location.

My path into DevOps was sparked entirely by CI/CD automation. While serving as Lead iOS Engineer, I took ownership of the mobile release pipeline, building automated workflows with Fastlane and Xcode Cloud. That hands-on experience ignited a deep passion for infrastructure, automation, and scalable delivery systems. What started as improving app deployment grew into architecting full cloud environments on AWS. From January 2022, I transitioned into DevOps engineering while continuing to lead the mobile team in parallel, and I have been doing both ever since.

Today, as Principal Software Engineer at Salestech Data & AI GmbH, I wear two hats simultaneously. On the DevOps side, I design and manage cloud-native AWS infrastructure, Kubernetes (EKS) clusters with 2+ years of production experience, Terraform / Terragrunt IaC, GitOps with ArgoCD and FluxCD, and DevSecOps practices including SonarQube, Trivy, PCI DSS, and HIPAA compliance. On the mobile side, I lead the engineering team delivering enterprise iOS, Flutter, and React Native applications, with 30+ apps shipped and 4.5+ App Store ratings for clients across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. That overlap is my edge: I architect the cloud infrastructure and ship the apps that run on it.

What I Do

Engineering at the intersection of cloud infrastructure and mobile development.

I design and deliver production-grade DevOps systems and enterprise mobile applications, leading both disciplines simultaneously with 9 years of hands-on engineering experience.

DevOps & Cloud

CI/CD pipeline automation, Kubernetes (EKS), Terraform IaC, ArgoCD GitOps, and AWS cloud-native architecture for enterprise-grade, scalable infrastructure.

DevSecOps

Security-first pipelines with SonarQube, Trivy, Gitleaks, OWASP scanning, and PCI DSS / HIPAA compliance built into the SDLC from day one.

iOS Development

Native iOS apps in Swift and SwiftUI with clean architecture (MVVM-C, Clean, and VIPER patterns), delivering 30+ enterprise apps with 4.5+ App Store ratings.

Cross-Platform Mobile

Flutter and React Native development with modular architecture, delivering consistent, high-performance apps across iOS and Android from a single codebase.

Cloud Architecture

Multi-account AWS architecture with VPC design, auto-scaling, load balancing, high availability, disaster recovery, and 35%+ infrastructure cost optimisation.

AI/ML Infrastructure

Scalable AI workload deployment using AWS Bedrock, SageMaker, and Textract, integrated with secure API Gateway and document processing pipelines for enterprise clients.

Team Leadership

Leading and mentoring cross-functional engineering teams across DevOps and mobile disciplines, driving code quality, architecture standards, and delivery velocity.

Observability & Monitoring

End-to-end observability with Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, and AWS CloudWatch, providing real-time insight into infrastructure health, performance, and incidents.

Mobile Works

Crafting Excellence in iOS & Mobile Development

30+ enterprise apps shipped across iOS, tvOS, Flutter, and React Native for clients in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, with 4.5+ App Store ratings.

DevOps Works

Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps Engineering Projects

Enterprise-grade DevOps projects delivered across AWS, Kubernetes, and CI/CD automation, spanning cloud modernisation, security compliance, AI/ML infrastructure, and GitOps-driven deployments.

Open Source

Swift Packages I Maintain

Zero-dependency Swift packages published on GitHub, each with its own documentation site.

Swift Package

SwiftNetworkKit

A protocol-oriented networking layer for Apple platforms: typed endpoints, actor-based token refresh, certificate pinning, request deduplication, offline request queueing, and OAuth 2.0 with PKCE. Zero dependencies, Swift 6 strict concurrency.

Swift 6 Networking async/await

Swift Package

SwiftLocalStorage

Type-safe local persistence for Swift: persist your existing Codable DTOs with SwiftData, no @Model entities to write. Cache expiration, indexed queries, live observation, and versioned migrations, with zero dependencies beyond SwiftData.

Swift 6 SwiftData Persistence
