Responsibilities:

• Streamlined application releases to production clusters in Kubernetes with GitHub Actions, implemented cluster-level policies with Kyverno and OPA, to improve resiliency and robustness.
• Transitioned Kubernetes infrastructure to be scalable with Event-driven autoscaling (KEDA) for data-intensive workloads, reducing cost overhead and latency by ~60%.
• Configured and managed monitoring using Prometheus and Grafana for real-time insights into system health, logging with EFK stack and integrated alerts with Slack to readily rectify infrastructure issues.
• Migrated and managed AWS and Azure resources to IaaC using Terraform, and automated configuration management for newly provisioned stacks using Ansible. Created reusable Terragrunt modules for provisioning stacks with dynamic configurations in different environments.
• Automated infrastructure bootstrapping for new applications with Cookiecutter templates, designed and implemented CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions for Kubernetes-based microservice architecture.
• Optimized CI/CD practices by integrating SonarQube testing, helm rollback on detection of failed Helm releases and post-deployment Sanity checks for new releases.
• Designed and maintained containerized deployments using Helm, integrated Helmfile to manage releases to multiple environments in Kubernetes.

Responsibilities:

• Developed and maintained automated CI/CD pipelines for code testing, analysis and deployment using Azure DevOps.
• Deployed Azure IaaS virtual machines (VMs) and Cloud services into secure VNets and subnets. Set up Access Management using AzureAD and configured infrastructure deployments using ARM templates.
• Setting up databases in AWS using RDS, storage using S3 buckets and automating PostgreSQL backups to be uploaded to S3 bucket.
• Managed local deployments in Kubernetes, creating local cluster and deploying application containers using Docker images.
• Worked on server and process management for EC2 & Azure VMs Win/Linux instances, and automating unmanned tasks using Bash/PowerShell scripting.
• Implemented server patches and updates as well as scheduled backups using Ansible Tower.
