Service pillar / 01

Freelance Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps Consultant & Expert

Eliminate cloud waste and vendor lock-in with declarative OpenTofu GitOps, bare-metal server deployments (Hetzner, OVH), and multi-region hybrid networking.

Senior, accountable platform engineering without intermediary layers. I architect reproducible cloud foundations, bare-metal migrations, and automated delivery pipelines that your team can confidently own.

Discuss your infrastructure

I build the layers that let product teams ship with confidence: cloud foundations, delivery systems, immutable compute, security boundaries, and operational feedback loops. The work is hands-on and designed around the constraints you already have.

Capability strip

A platform is more than a cluster.

01

Self-Hosted n8n & Sovereign AI Automation

Build reliable, queue-mode n8n workflows and sovereign AI automation pipelines that eliminate per-task SaaS fees and keep customer data strictly in your control.

02

WhatsApp Chatbots (Darija, French & Arabic)

Native conversational AI for Moroccan businesses running on official Meta WhatsApp Cloud API. Slashing customer support response times and confirming Cash-on-Delivery (COD) orders.

03

Cloud Cost Reduction & Hetzner Migration

Slash bloated AWS and GCP monthly bills by migrating compute, databases, and container workloads to high-performance European bare-metal (Hetzner, OVHcloud).

Example architecture

Production architecture blueprints.

Cloud Cost Reduction & Bare-Metal Migration

Problem

Overprovisioned hyperscaler compute, escalating managed Kubernetes overhead, and opaque egress networking charges.

Target Stack

Immutable Talos Linux on Hetzner Dedicated bare metal, Cilium eBPF host routing, ArgoCD GitOps, and PostgreSQL with continuous WAL archiving.

What I Deliver

Complete Terraform / OpenTofu provisioning, hardened cluster deployment, parallel database replication, and zero-downtime cutover plan.

Self-Hosted Sovereign n8n Automation

Problem

Multi-tenant SaaS automation platforms with restrictive per-operation billing and data residency conflicts under Moroccan CNDP 09-08.

Target Stack

Dedicated n8n in high-availability Queue Mode, Redis buffer, PostgreSQL database with automated backups, and reverse proxy SSL termination.

What I Deliver

Containerized deployment runbooks, isolated worker pools, webhook idempotency layer, custom ERP connectors, and staff maintenance documentation.

Transactional WhatsApp Automation Middleware

Problem

Manual customer support bottlenecks and unverified Cash-on-Delivery e-commerce orders leading to high delivery failure rates.

Target Stack

Official Meta WhatsApp Business Cloud API, Node.js webhook processor, Redis queue buffer, and Darija / French NLP intent routing.

What I Deliver

Meta Business Manager webhook setup, automated 2-minute order confirmation pipeline, CRM integration, and human-operator escalation dashboard.

Industry presence & learning

Curious in public. Useful in production.

Questions, answered

Technical questions, answered directly.

What does a cloud infrastructure engagement cover?

Cloud foundations, delivery pipelines, immutable compute and security boundaries. The work is hands-on: OpenTofu or Terraform modules, zero-downtime CI/CD, bare-metal provisioning on Hetzner or OVH, hybrid networking, and the telemetry that keeps it observable.

Can you reduce my cloud bill?

Yes, and it is usually the first measurable outcome. Migrating workloads from expensive managed cloud environments to high-performance dedicated bare metal (e.g. Hetzner, OVHcloud) substantially reduces monthly compute overhead while improving raw I/O and network throughput.

Do you work with existing teams and tools?

Yes. Engagements integrate into your Slack, GitHub or GitLab workflows, and the infrastructure is delivered as reviewable code with runbooks and architecture decision records so your team can own it afterwards.

Which platforms do you work with?

AWS and Google Cloud for managed services, plus bare-metal providers including Hetzner, OVH and Proxmox for workloads where control and cost matter more than managed convenience.

How is an engagement scoped and priced?

An architecture audit is a fixed scope ending in a 90-minute readout. A migration sprint runs for two weeks. Ongoing platform work is a monthly fractional retainer. Scope, deliverables, timing and fees are agreed in writing before work begins.

Facing a cloud cost or reliability bottleneck?
