Ashraf van Rooijen
I build and secure the systems that run the modern web — from ML pipelines and cloud infrastructure to hardened, automated deployments. Currently deepening my skills in production-grade DevOps and threat detection.

About
Third-year IT student with a hands-on focus on the full stack of modern infrastructure: building AI/ML systems, designing cloud architectures, automating CI/CD pipelines, and thinking like an attacker to stay ahead of threats. I like clean, reproducible, and observable systems.
What I care about
Automation over manual toil, security by default, and infrastructure that's easy to reason about and cheap to run. I prototype fast, then make it production-safe.
