IT Infrastructure & DevOps Engineer

Adnan Akram

Infrastructure engineer who runs AWS, network and security operations and builds Kubernetes, Terraform and CI/CD automation.

About Adnan

Adnan keeps infrastructure running end to end: AWS environments, Cisco and Fortinet security, UniFi networks and VMware ESXi virtualisation, plus IT support for a company's whole team and for customers in the United States. At ZNova he leads infrastructure and DevOps.

He has deployed e-commerce microservices on AWS EKS with a full GitOps workflow (GitHub Actions, Argo CD, an Istio service mesh with mTLS, SonarQube quality gates, Prometheus and Grafana), and built infrastructure as code with Terraform and Terragrunt, including OIDC-based CI/CD and policy-as-code scanning.

For ZNova clients that means automation built for reliability and security from day one: serverless AWS tooling such as cost alerts on Lambda, EventBridge and CloudTrail and a chat bot that provisions servers on demand, and monitoring with Prometheus, Grafana, Zabbix and Graylog, including an AI log analyser that flags infrastructure issues early using a locally hosted LLaMA model.

His operations background means he knows what actually breaks in production. He is working towards the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) certification.
