Key Contributions:

Kubernetes Microservices on AWS

• Designed and operated Kubernetes-based microservices on AWS (EKS), implementing Prometheus and Grafana observability, and GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines to enable scalable, reliable deployments.

Migration from ECS & Docker Swarm to Kubernetes

• Successfully transitioned microservices to Kubernetes (EKS) on AWS.

Infrastructure as Code:

• Sole contributor in implementing end-to-end, module-based Terraform code for provisioning and managing cloud infrastructure.

Security Framework Implementation:

• Built and maintained the AWS security framework using GuardDuty, Security Hub, and WAF, with compliance standards.

Monitoring:

• Integrated Prometheus and Grafana with CloudWatch for real-time alerting and monitoring.

Cost Optimization:

• Achieved approximately 30% AWS cost savings by migrating workloads from ECS to EKS, eliminating unused resources, using Spot Instances, and implementing right-sizing strategies.

Kubernetes Cluster Backup & Disaster Recovery

• Implemented a Velero-based backup and restore strategy to safeguard EKS cluster resources, persistent volumes, and namespaces, enabling fast disaster recovery.

Agentic model deployment

• Deployed an agentic AI model on AWS EKS, with containerized microservices.
