Welcome to my profile! ^^

I'm Aymen, a Staff Engineer, Cloud Architect, and Founder of Drizzle Systems.

I help engineering teams make it 10x Easier to production-grade AI Infrastructure. My work sits at the intersection of Platform Engineering, Kubernetes, and Agentic AI Infrastructure.

• Agentic AI Infra: Designing high-throughput, low-latency serving layers for autonomous agents and reasoning loops (e.g., DeepSeek-R1) on Kubernetes.
• Cloud Native Leader: Over a decade of experience leading SRE and Platform teams (Spryker, AUTO1, ING) to build resilient, secure, and cost-efficient systems.
• Engineering Excellence and Efficiency: Proven track record of building resilient systems, within defined budgets, cutting cloud costs (saving >$XM/year) by moving to self-hosted, optimized stacks.

Kubernetes-sigs member • Gateway API Inference Extension member • Knative Serving WG member

Current Status: Open for new gigs & consulting via Drizzle Systems.
