I'm Azlan. I teach infrastructure to run itself.

DevOps engineer in Karachi. I use AI agents to build, run and fix real systems, and write down what works.

What I do

I've spent the last three years running production infrastructure: moving whole platforms to new clouds, getting them to ISO 27001 and GDPR, cutting cloud bills, and setting up startups from scratch. Now I build the agent layer on top: agents that propose changes, check them against policy and wait for a person where it matters.

I'm also building Auton, an agentic development environment where you can watch the agents work. And on the side, MunshiPlus: a free, offline-first app that helps Pakistani wholesale businesses track orders and collections, on Google Play.
