About Me

Hi, I’m Mohibullah Rahimi, an IT professional with 4+ years of experience designing secure, scalable infrastructures across both on-premises and cloud solutions.

I bring a versatile blend of technical skills and real-world experience across on-premises infrastructure and cloud platforms like AWS and Azure. My expertise spans Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using AWS CloudFormation, Python, PowerShell, and Bash scripting, along with hands-on experience managing Windows and Linux systems, Active Directory, Microsoft 365, and ticketing systems.

I’ve delivered enterprise-grade cloud projects—including serverless applications, automated data pipelines, and HIPAA-compliant file-sharing systems—that have improved efficiency and cut costs significantly.

My foundation in networking is solid, with hands-on experience configuring routers, switches, firewalls, VPNs, and DHCP, as well as managing load balancers. I’m comfortable monitoring and troubleshooting network issues using tools like Wireshark and AWS/Azure Monitor, and ensuring compliance with IAM policies, encryption standards, and access controls.

I’m passionate about building resilient systems and always open to new challenges in cloud engineering and IT infrastructure.
