## Executive Overview
Anas Rhimi is a Senior Platform Engineer, Cloud Infrastructure Architect, and Sovereign AI Automation Consultant. He designs, migrates, and operates production distributed systems across the Gulf Cooperation Council (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman), North Africa (Morocco), Europe (France, Germany), and North America.

His engineering practice focuses on high-reliability, zero-downtime operations, sovereign on-premise AI workflows, and eliminating hyperscaler cloud waste through bare-metal infrastructure (Talos Linux, Proxmox VE, Hetzner, OVH) and declarative OpenTofu/Terraform GitOps.

## Core Specializations
1. **Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps**: Declarative multi-cloud architectures (AWS, OCI, GCP), hybrid networking, OpenTofu GitOps, and 50%–70% cloud bill reductions.
2. **Production Kubernetes & Talos Linux**: Bare-metal immutable Kubernetes clusters running Talos Linux with Cilium eBPF zero-trust mesh networking and ArgoCD GitOps pipelines.
3. **AI Automation & Sovereign n8n Workflows**: High-concurrency self-hosted n8n in queue mode with Redis/PostgreSQL, local vLLM/DeepSeek inference, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations.
4. **Database Architecture & PostgreSQL Resilience**: High-availability clustering, automated WAL-G Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR), PgBouncer connection pooling, and pgvector semantic search.
5. **Cybersecurity, Compliance & DevSecOps**: Zero-trust access, CrowdSec intrusion detection mesh, SOPS/Age secret management, CIS benchmarks, and compliance with Saudi PDPL, UAE Data Law, Moroccan CNDP, and EU GDPR.
6. **Fractional SRE & Platform Retainers**: Dedicated weekly senior capacity for ongoing infrastructure management, incident triage, and architectural roadmaps.
7. **Technical Search, GEO & LLM Optimization**: Sub-100ms TTFB edge architectures, Schema.org Knowledge Graphs, and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO/GEO).

## Production Case Studies Summary
- **Multi-Cloud GitOps Migration**: Migrated high-traffic SaaS from AWS EKS to bare-metal Talos Linux on Hetzner, slashing monthly infrastructure expenditure by 68% while maintaining 99.99% availability.
- **Sovereign AI Automation Engine**: Built air-gapped n8n workflow cluster with private vLLM LLM inference for healthcare and legal documents, achieving 100% data sovereignty under GDPR and Saudi PDPL.
- **GCC E-Commerce High-Concurrency Engine**: Architected sub-80ms WhatsApp and Redis ordering system handling 15,000+ daily orders for major Saudi e-commerce stores (Salla & Zid).
- **PostgreSQL PITR & High Availability**: Implemented automated WAL-G streaming disaster recovery with zero-data-loss failover and sub-millisecond PgBouncer pooling.
