Muhammad Raees

I build and secure real-time, AI-driven cloud platforms on AWS and Azure — Kubernetes hardening, Zero Trust, HashiCorp Vault and OPA policy, CI/CD with supply-chain security, plus MLOps and full observability. A Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm-D) by training, I bring extra domain depth to healthcare and other safety-critical systems.

Muhammad Raees — AIOps, DevSecOps & Cybersecurity Engineer, Islamabad, Pakistan

Professional Summary

I'm an AIOps and DevOps engineer with an EduQual Level 6 Diploma in Artificial Intelligence Operations (UK, 86%) and a 12-month hands-on job-training programme covering cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, CI/CD, DevSecOps and ML deployment.

My public GitHub portfolio shows end-to-end, production-style builds: real-time healthcare AIOps platforms on AWS EC2 that combine Apache Kafka streaming, machine learning (XGBoost, Random Forest, Isolation Forest), serverless alerting with OpenFaaS, Keycloak/OPA security, and full observability (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Jaeger). I ship ML through GitHub Actions, Jenkins and Kubernetes, run GitLab CI/CD pipelines with Trivy scanning and gated releases, and build full-stack FastAPI + React applications. I work with Azure (AKS) and AWS, Terraform, Docker/Kubernetes, HashiCorp Vault and Zero-Trust security.

Before tech I spent 4+ years as a Doctor of Pharmacy in hospital, clinical and supply-chain roles - including a UN/Global Fund MDR-TB programme - where accuracy, compliance and working under pressure were daily requirements. That makes the healthcare, medical-research and pharmaceutical technology space a natural fit.

CardioCare-AIOps

Real-time cardiac monitoring platform · AWS EC2

Streams real MIT-BIH ECG beats as live vital signs for 9 ICU beds through Apache Kafka, every event AES-256-GCM encrypted. A hybrid engine (XGBoost classifier, adaptive Isolation Forest) flags events; OpenFaaS serverless functions fire Keycloak-JWT-secured, OPA-RBAC-gated alerts. 17 containers orchestrated with Docker Compose, one-command EC2 bootstrap. Reported 97.27% accuracy / AUC-ROC 0.9927 on the test beats.

  • Kafka
  • XGBoost
  • OpenFaaS
  • FastAPI
  • Keycloak/OPA
  • Prometheus/Grafana
  • Docker

AIOpsCare - ICU Sepsis Detection

Serverless AIOps platform · AWS EC2

Event-driven, serverless platform that scores sepsis risk in real time. A Random Forest model trained on PhysioNet 2019 data drives 11 containerised services: a JWT-secured FastAPI gateway, OPA policy-based access, Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboards and distributed tracing with Jaeger/OpenTelemetry. Reported 98% accuracy on 18,613 test records.

  • OpenFaaS
  • Kafka
  • scikit-learn
  • OPA/Rego
  • OWASP ZAP
  • Jaeger
  • PostgreSQL

PharmaSafe-AIOps

Real-time drug-interaction checker · Kubernetes (K3s)

Checks prescriptions for dangerous drug combinations in real time using the NIH RxNav API, with prescription events streamed through Kafka and history in PostgreSQL. Role-based dashboards (pharmacist / doctor / nurse) enforced by OPA RBAC, SMS + email alerts, deployed on K3s with GitHub Actions CI and images published to Docker Hub.

  • FastAPI
  • Kafka
  • K3s
  • OPA/Rego
  • GitHub Actions
  • Prometheus/Grafana
  • Twilio

Enterprise CI/CD Pipeline (GitLab)

4-stage secure delivery pipeline · GitLab CI/CD

A build → test → security → deploy pipeline with multi-tagged images (commit SHA, semantic version, branch, build number), integration tests with Docker Compose, and Trivy scans gating on HIGH/CRITICAL CVEs. Separate staging and production environments with secret validation, manual approval gates, health checks and a 2-replica production setup.
