ABOUT ME

About Noucair Zemrani — Platform Engineer

THE ENGINEER BEHIND THE NOTES

Practical engineering.
A view of the whole system.

I’m Noucair Zemrani, a DevOps and Platform Engineer based in Morocco. For more than four years, I’ve worked on the infrastructure behind applications: Linux systems, Kubernetes and OpenShift, cloud platforms, delivery pipelines and monitoring.

I focus on changes that another engineer can repeat, failures that a team can understand, and documentation that makes the next handover easier. My work combines implementation with the operational checks needed to support a system after it goes live.

I work in English, French and Arabic, and I’m open to international opportunities and clearly scoped engineering projects.
