What we do
Platforms built for security, scale and self-service.
We treat infrastructure as an internal product — something engineering teams choose to use, not something imposed on them.
Platform as a Product
Internal Kubernetes platforms designed like products, with golden paths, paved roads, and self-service onboarding teams adopt willingly.
EKS & OpenShift Architecture
Standardized, production-grade Kubernetes on Amazon EKS and Red Hat OpenShift, designed for multi-tenant scale and day-2 operations.
Terraform & GitOps
Modular, auditable golden modules and GitOps workflows; infrastructure as code that's reusable, reviewable, and easy to onboard to.
Security, PKI & Secrets
Secure workload identity, private PKI and certificate authorities, and centralized secret management with Vault. Security built in.
Cloud Migration & Modernization
Moving legacy and monolithic systems into cloud-native, containerized, event-driven architectures, with a clear path.
Compliance, Governance & Cost
Network segmentation, policy, governance and cost efficiency baked in, meeting the bar regulated financial services demand.
About MarifahOps
14+ years engineering secure platforms.
MarifahOps is the consultancy of Saquib Khan, a platform engineer based in Dublin with 14+ years delivering secure, scalable, production-grade cloud platforms for large financial organizations. Marifah means knowledge — and that's what goes into every platform we build.
The work has evolved from traditional infrastructure and CI/CD automation into full Platform Engineering: designing Kubernetes-based platforms as internal products, and leading migration programs that move legacy and monolithic systems into cloud-native, containerized, event-driven architectures.
Every engagement carries a strong focus on security, network design, identity, secrets, compliance, governance and cost efficiency — recently standardizing Amazon EKS and Red Hat OpenShift platforms with Terraform, GitOps and AWS best practices.
