Waleed Malik

Platform engineer

I build infrastructure for teams running Kubernetes at scale: networking, GitOps, cluster lifecycle, and the unglamorous stuff that just has to work.

I also build the less magical side of AI: inference, model serving, and the infrastructure behind running models yourself instead of renting them forever.

Off the keyboard, it's football, video games, and too much coffee.
