👋 Hi, I'm Seraj A. Siddiqui

☁️ AWS Cloud & Infrastructure | Python | Linux | Automation | Quality Engineering

I'm an experienced Software Quality & Test Automation Engineer expanding into AWS Cloud & Infrastructure Engineering.

My current focus is building hands-on cloud infrastructure while combining AWS with my existing engineering background in Python, automation, CI/CD, testing, and troubleshooting.

I'm particularly interested in understanding not only how to deploy cloud resources, but how networking, security, reliability, automation, and operations work together to create robust cloud environments.

🏙️ Currently building: Hands-on AWS infrastructure projects covering networking, compute, security, automation, and cloud operations.

🎯 Target Roles: AWS Cloud Engineer · Cloud Infrastructure Engineer · Cloud/DevOps Engineer · Cloud Operations Engineer

  • API Testing
  • Regression Testing
  • Integration & System Testing
  • UAT
  • CI/CD Testing
  • Agile / Scrum
  • ISTQB Certified

🏙️ Building My AWS Cloud City

I'm building a hands-on AWS portfolio where each project represents another part of a cloud environment.

The goal is not simply to deploy AWS services, but to understand, build, test, troubleshoot, automate, and document the infrastructure behind them.

🌐 Networking & Compute

AWS VPC & EC2 Infrastructure

VPC · Public/Private Subnets · Route Tables · Internet Gateway · NAT Gateway · Security Groups · EC2

🚧 Currently building

🔐 Security & Monitoring

AWS Cloud Security & Monitoring

IAM · CloudTrail · AWS Config · Systems Manager · Security Controls

📚 Learning & practicing

🏗️ High Availability

Highly Available AWS Architecture

Elastic Load Balancing · Auto Scaling · Multi-AZ · Route 53 · CloudFront

📚 Learning & practicing

⚙️ Infrastructure Automation

AWS Infrastructure Automation

AWS CLI · Python · Infrastructure as Code · Terraform · CI/CD

📚 Planned / in progress


🚀 Portfolio Roadmap

My AWS portfolio is being developed around four core engineering projects:

  1. 🌐 AWS VPC Networking & EC2 Infrastructure
  2. 🏗️ Highly Available AWS Web Architecture
  3. ⚙️ AWS Infrastructure Automation
  4. 🔐 AWS Cloud Security & Monitoring

Each project will document:

Architecture → Implementation → Security → Testing → Troubleshooting → Automation → Lessons Learned


📚 Currently Developing

I'm currently expanding my cloud engineering skills through hands-on AWS training and personal projects.

Current areas of development:

  • AWS Cloud Architecture
  • Linux & Networking
  • AWS Security
  • Systems Operations
  • Python for Cloud Automation
  • Infrastructure as Code
  • Terraform
  • CI/CD & Automated Deployments
  • Serverless Architecture
  • Containers
  • Monitoring & Observability
  • Cost & Resource Management

🔧 Engineering Approach

I try to treat infrastructure the same way I approach software quality:

Build → Test → Validate → Troubleshoot → Document → Automate → Improve

Rather than using GitHub simply as a collection of course exercises, I'm using it to document practical engineering work and demonstrate what I can actually build.
