At Shazab FutureTech I turned mature open-source network platforms into tailored, client-branded products — and built the packaging, CI/CD, and network engineering around them.
Rebranding & plugins
- Rebranded OPNsense (firewall & gateway) and Zabbix (monitoring & analytics) using Python, PHP and JavaScript — customizing appearance and functionality to client requirements.
- Built custom OPNsense network-management plugins with the platform’s native plugin system, extending it with tailored features and thorough testing and debugging.
- Built a proof-of-concept for a network management & monitoring solution with remote-management capabilities.
Packaging, cloud & security
- Packaged AI/ML agent software for Linux — versioning, dependency management, repository maintenance and compatibility testing across client environments.
- Implemented AWS CI/CD integrating S3, SQS, Lambda, API Gateway and CloudFront, with optimized multi-environment builds.
- Refined IAM policies to strengthen security, access control, and compliance.
Network engineering
- Tested and validated client network devices — gateways, firewalls, switches, access points — against performance standards and client specs.
- Authored client-specific technical documentation, troubleshot device/configuration issues, and analyzed system logs to resolve performance inefficiencies.
