Hi, I'm Shaheer M.
Computer Science student at Concordia University specializing in DevOps and Cybersecurity.
About Me
I build systems that are secure, reliable, and maintainable.
Who I Am
I'm a Computer Science student at Concordia University with a deep focus on Cybersecurity, DevOps, and AI.
I love the challenge of building secure, resilient systems — from architecting zero-knowledge architectures to automating robust CI/CD pipelines. My approach to engineering is methodical: measure first, then build.
Outside of code, I stay sharp through going at the gym with a disciplined schedule, cruising around on my motorcycle and taking walks to improve my creativity and get different approaches on problems I face during hardships.

Projects
Things I've built.
Predictive Data Analysis Engine (AI/ML)
Building a machine learning pipeline to analyze historical financial assets to form an autonomous trading agent.
Secure Communication System
Designed and implemented a secure communication protocol applying advanced cryptographic principles. Mitigated system vulnerabilities by combining symmetric encryption, asymmetric encryption, and hashing for secure authentication and data transfer.
STANS DevSecOps Pipeline
Architected a centralized monitoring and logging system for the STANS cluster. Deployed Prometheus, cAdvisor, and Node Exporter for live resource tracking, alongside Loki and Promtail to aggregate container logs into customized Grafana dashboards. Evolved infrastructure from Docker Compose to a fully orchestrated Kubernetes (k3s) cluster on AWS EC2, provisioned via Terraform.
Open-Source CI/CD Automation
Authored and maintained complex CI/CD workflows using GitHub Actions for a large-scale repository. Designed automated testing pipelines to validate code integrity, streamline PRs, and prevent regression bugs across environments. Managed large-scale issues by integrating Cypress E2E tests into automated pipelines.
