About

I'm Fahad Ameen Rajput — a DevOps, security and compliance engineer in Hyderabad, Pakistan, working remotely for teams in the US, Canada and Australia.

I got my first computer at four and was running Linux servers for gaming communities at eleven. That was 2011, long before “DevOps” was a job title. Fifteen years later I'm still administering and securing Linux, now with pipelines, cloud, observability and compliance around it. Today I look after more than 40 apps and servers.

Right now I'm Principal DevOps Engineer and Chief Security Officer at Genesys Financial Intelligence, the US fintech behind Zovox.app — an AI CFO app for entrepreneurs — and Principal DevOps Engineer at Dynaread in Canada. Before that I spent nearly two years at Homiee in Sydney, joining as a DevOps engineer and leaving as CTO and engineering lead of a team of 18.

Streetlight DevSecOps Division is the name I work under. Most engagements start with a $500 audit and are delivered by me personally; when a project needs more hands, it runs as a Streetlight team with me as technical lead.

Alongside my degree I ran a tour company and a seasonal hotel business (2020–2022), which is where the business side of my work comes from. I work in English, Urdu, Punjabi and Sindhi.
