Ahmed Rizawan is a DevOps and AI automation consultant based in Bangkok. He fixes what breaks in production: AI automations that fail, slow APIs and sites, security vulnerabilities, risky deploys and inherited code nobody trusts.
I've built and run production systems since 2011, across food delivery, real estate, media, e-commerce and fintech. I work with teams in Europe and the US.

Problems I solve
Senior advisory or contract work.
AI automations fail or need babysitting
Workflow automations and AI agents (OpenAI, Claude, RAG) rebuilt to run unattended, with retries, logging, and cost and latency tracked.
Your API or site is slow
The slow path found first, then fixed: database queries and indexes, caching, payload size and Core Web Vitals, measured before and after.
Security vulnerabilities keep piling up
Vulnerabilities fixed in code, dependencies, servers and containers, with patching on a schedule and a rollback path. I ran security patching and on-call as site reliability engineer at Qwil.
The AI feature works in the demo, not in production
LLMs, RAG and AI agents integrated into the live system, with cost and latency tracked.
Deploys are slow, manual or risky
CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code (Terraform, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI), so a release is routine and easy to roll back.
You inherited code nobody trusts
A review of security, data integrity and failure paths, then fixes for the riskiest parts first, however the code was built.
Selected work
- Compliance screening for a fintech client with AI agents and RAG: cut from 4 hours to 45 seconds, checking 1.7M+ sanctions records at about $0.03 a check.
- Site reliability at Qwil: Terraform, Google Kubernetes Engine, GitLab CI, security patching and on-call.
- Open source: vidlizer, point it at a video, image or PDF and get structured JSON.
- Co-founder and technical lead at MyMuayThai, a platform for finding and booking Muay Thai gyms and trainers in Thailand.
- Integration services and infrastructure as code at Moo Gruppen.
