  • Automated and optimized CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, and ArgoCD, increasing deployment frequency by 80% and reducing manual overhead in build, test, and release processes.
  • Designed and implemented scalable infrastructure using Terraform and Ansible (Infrastructure as Code) for AWS services including EC2, S3, EBS, ELB, and RDS, enabling consistent and version-controlled deployments.
  • Developed custom automation scripts in Python and Bash to handle configuration management, system health checks, deployment processes, and log processing across environments.
  • Created Python-based CLI tools for interacting with REST APIs (AWS SDKs, Jira, GitHub, Vault), automating credential rotation, artifact cleanup, and cloud provisioning.
  • Deployed and managed Kubernetes clusters to support microservices architecture, ensuring high availability, scalability, and fault tolerance across multiple regions.
  • Leveraged Docker and Helm for containerization and deployment automation, accelerating development cycles and reducing environment drift.
  • Integrated monitoring and logging solutions such as Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK Stack, writing custom alert rules and dashboards using PromQL and JSON templates to ensure real-time observability and performance tracking.
  • Implemented automated patching, security hardening, and vulnerability scans to maintain system security and compliance.
  • Authored internal DevOps documentation, coding standards, and onboarding guides to improve cross-team productivity and knowledge sharing.
  • Participated in disaster recovery drills and backup/recovery protocol design to enhance operational resilience.
  • Collaborated with cross-functional teams to optimize release strategies and deployment pipelines, enhancing delivery speed and system reliability.
  • Analyzed deployment issues and code defects, recommending and implementing automation or workflow improvements to reduce failure rates and manual rework.
