[shukla7789]

The mission of the IT professionals on the GRM team is to provide clients with fully functional and secure websites and software products. One of the people who makes that mission a reality is DevOps Engineer Abdullah Katerji. This week, we had the opportunity to talk to him and learn more about the role he plays at the digital marketing agency .



Thank you for taking the time to talk to us! To begin, briefly tell us what the DevOps position at GRM Digital entails.
Well, DevOps is not one of those positions where tasks go from point A to point B. DevOps engineers have to keep a lot of things in mind every day, so this position is not that easy to explain. However, we can start with the name itself, which is a combination of the words development and operations , and it somewhat reveals what it is really about.

When it comes to the GRM team specifically, I am actually the only DevOps engineer, so my role is quite different from the others in the agency. However, to successfully perform DevOps tasks, close doctor database with other departments is necessary, so teamwork is still a key part of my job.

Some of my daily tasks include building and maintaining security systems for clients' software and websites, system improvements, collaborating with web developers on software implementation, quality assurance (together with QA engineers ), and quickly resolving any issues.



Can you tell us what you would highlight as the most important aspects of a DevOps position? And what specific activities do you perform as part of your job?
As a DevOps engineer, I have to make sure that all of our clients' websites, services, and applications are running flawlessly 24/7. Everything we deliver to our clients must be fully functional, and any issues must be resolved as quickly as possible.

It is important to emphasize that safety is one of the highest priorities in my job. Namely, safety issues can have huge, long-term consequences for the business, especially when it comes to large organizations such as our clients Danone and Ingersoll Rand.
