Welcome! I’m Yasser, a computer science student and DevOps intern who enjoys building, deploying, and operating software across cloud infrastructure, Linux servers, backend services, and automation projects.

Experience

Professional work across cloud infrastructure, deployment automation, and internal developer tooling.

Veradigm — DevOps Intern

May 2026 – Present

Build and maintain AWS deployment infrastructure using Amazon EKS, Kubernetes, Terraform, ArgoCD, and GitHub Actions. The internship began full-time in Summer 2026 and was extended part-time through May 2027.

  • AWS
  • Amazon EKS
  • Kubernetes
  • Terraform
  • ArgoCD
  • GitHub Actions
  • CI/CD
  • REST APIs

Stood up and operate a dedicated EKS cluster for development and testing; reworked a deploy-to-development workflow so runner changes can reach dev/test environments without an unnecessary pull request while production remains review-gated.

Also develop integrations against Veradigm’s internal generative-AI assistant API, including team-chat tooling that brings the assistant into engineers’ daily workflow.

Home Server & Self-Hosted Infrastructure

Infrastructure

Built and administer a bare-metal Ubuntu server running 10+ containerized services and custom web applications. Operate storage, databases, monitoring, DNS, reverse proxies, VPN access, backups, and TLS-secured deployments while troubleshooting failures across the application, container, host, and network layers.

  • Ubuntu
  • Docker Compose
  • Nginx
  • PostgreSQL
  • Redis
  • Tailscale
  • DNS
  • TLS / HTTPS
  • Jenkins
  • Uptime Kuma

Services include Immich, Nextcloud, Pi-hole, Jenkins, code-server, Uptime Kuma, and custom applications. Recovery and operations work has included GRUB, fstab/mount, reverse-proxy, DNS, and post-power-loss failures plus automated rsync/cron and Timeshift backups.

Discord Community Automation Bots

Python Automation

Built and self-host two event-driven Discord bots that run 24/7 in Docker. One automates onboarding, role assignment, introduction validation, access gating, and admin commands; the other tracks voice sessions and notifies opted-in members using timing and cooldown logic.

  • Python
  • asyncio
  • Discord API
  • Docker
  • Linux
  • Event-Driven
  • Slash Commands

Designed for persistent operation on my homelab with session tracking, backfill/admin tooling, cooldowns, and containerized deployment.

AccessControlManager Demo

Backend / API

Built a Spring Boot REST API for compliance report generation over validated preset CSV datasets, with a public frontend that demonstrates access-control analysis while keeping course implementation details private.

  • Java
  • Spring Boot
  • REST API
  • Maven
  • JavaScript
  • Nginx
  • HTTPS

Deployed the UI and API behind one HTTPS subdomain using Nginx path routing, with the frontend at / and backend requests routed through /api.

MAYDAY

Game / Web Deployment

Developed a branching browser-based horror game in Twine with hidden state variables driving multiple story paths and endings, then packaged and deployed the production build on my Linux homelab.

  • Twine
  • Twee
  • HTML
  • Docker
  • Nginx
  • Linux

Containerized with nginx:alpine and served through the same self-managed web infrastructure used for my other deployed projects.
