Suleiman Abdulrahman (Cypher)

Cloud Infrastructure, DevOps & Platform Engineer

Designing, automating, and operating production-grade cloud systems across AWS & Kubernetes — built for security, observability, and resilience.

🚀 Core Engineering Focus

  • Cloud Infrastructure & IaC: Multi-environment AWS infrastructure (VPC, EC2 ASG, ALB, RDS, ECS Fargate), Terraform modules, Pulumi, Ansible configuration management.
  • Cloud Security & Compliance: Event-driven automated security remediation, CIS AWS Foundations Benchmarks, GuardDuty, Security Hub, AWS Config, zero-open-port SSM architecture.
  • Observability & Telemetry: Full LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Prometheus), OpenTelemetry Collector pipelines, custom Prometheus exporters, trace-to-log correlation, dashboards-as-code.
  • CI/CD & Software Engineering: OIDC role federation pipelines (GitHub Actions), containerized backend microservices in Python (FastAPI) and Node.js/TypeScript (BullMQ, Redis, WebSockets).

📦 Featured Portfolio Projects

Production-grade AWS infrastructure platform provisioned with modular Terraform, hardened with Ansible, and delivered through a GitHub Actions OIDC pipeline.

  • 2-tier VPC (Public/Private), ALB, EC2 ASG, RDS PostgreSQL, GuardDuty, Security Hub, AWS Config.
  • Zero SSH ports open — full operational management via AWS SSM Session Manager.
  • Checkov IaC security scanning & automated HTTP ALB smoke testing on deployment.

Terraform Ansible AWS SSM GuardDuty GitHub Actions (OIDC)


Event-driven AWS security platform that detects and automatically remediates cloud misconfigurations in real time.

  • Real-time API event interception via CloudTrail → EventBridge → 7 Python Lambda remediators.
  • Auto-revokes open SSH rules (60s), deletes console access for non-MFA users (30s), restores S3 public access blocks.
  • Dual IaC architecture: Terraform for static infrastructure, Pulumi (Python) for compute & Lambda layers.

Python AWS Lambda EventBridge DynamoDB Streams Terraform Pulumi SNS


Standalone, vendor-neutral LGTM observability pipeline built from scratch to correlate metrics, logs, and traces.

  • OpenTelemetry Collector routing traces to Tempo, metrics to Prometheus, and logs to Loki.
  • Loki derivedFields mapping log trace_id directly to Tempo trace waterfalls.
  • Custom Python Prometheus exporter & 7 Grafana dashboards provisioned as code.

Production-grade IAM service implementing secure authentication, authorization, and tenant isolation.

  • OAuth2 with PKCE, TOTP 2FA/MFA, AES-256 encrypted refresh token rotation, and RBAC permissions.
  • Redis-backed rate limiting, brute-force IP throttling, and audit logging.
  • Fully tested Python FastAPI architecture with Docker containerization and CI/CD.

FastAPI Python PostgreSQL Redis OAuth2 Docker pytest


High-throughput asynchronous webhook delivery & workflow engine engineered for reliability under high concurrency.

  • BullMQ & Redis distributed task queues with exponential backoff retries & dead-letter queue (DLQ).
  • HMAC SHA-256 signature verification, circuit breaker pattern, and real-time WebSocket job updates.
  • TypeScript architecture with PostgreSQL transaction management and health monitoring.

Node.js TypeScript BullMQ Redis PostgreSQL WebSockets


Production container platform built on AWS ECS Fargate featuring blue-green zero-downtime deployments.

  • Modular Terraform managing 36+ resources across VPC, ALB, ECS Fargate, and RDS PostgreSQL.
  • ALB target group weighting for zero-downtime deployment switches and instant automated rollbacks.
  • Verified live AWS sprint evidence with full SSL certificate termination (ACM) and Route 53 DNS.
