Mohammed Saad
Senior Site Reliability Engineer
Senior Site Reliability Engineer | Senior DevOps Engineer | Platform Engineering
Senior Site Reliability Engineer & DevOps Engineer with over 9 years of experience designing, building, and scaling infrastructure for large-scale, cloud-native systems. I specialize in AWS, GCP, and Azure, with expertise in distributed systems, security, and scalability. Proven track record of owning systems end-to-end, solving ambiguous problems, and mentoring peers while delivering highly available, performant, and secure services.
Expert in building and scaling Kubernetes clusters and containerized workloads from the ground up. Proficient in Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform and Pulumi, with hands-on experience maintaining and optimizing databases (PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, Redis) and backend services. Led initiatives on stateless architectures, CI/CD pipelines, and observability (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTSDB, Envoy) to enhance scalability, maintainability, and reliability.
Strong background in platform engineering, designing internal developer platforms, and implementing Golden Metrics dashboards (latency, traffic, errors, saturation) with SLO-driven alerting. Passionate about fostering a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement through technical leadership and mentorship. Proficient in Python, Go, and JavaScript with a technology generalist mindset.
Beyond my professional work, I am passionate about giving back to the community. I volunteer for non-profit organizations focused on community betterment. Currently, I serve as the Full Stack Developer & Playing Director at Challengers Cricket Club, a cricket club in the London community. I built their website from scratch and manage their social media presence, helping grow the club's digital footprint and community engagement.
