CI/CD & Automation

• Designed and managed CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub, Maven, and Nexus for Java applications, reducing deployment time by 30%.
• Created custom Dockerfiles and Jenkinsfiles; integrated with Slack, SonarQube, and Artifactory for notifications, code quality, and artifact management.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

• Provisioned cloud infrastructure using Terraform for AWS (EC2, VPC, EKS, S3, IAM) and GCP (GKE, Compute Engine, IAM, Cloud Armor).
• Automated configurations using Ansible for agent deployments (Wazuh, TrendMicro) and cron-based maintenance on Ubuntu Linux.

Kubernetes & Containerization

• Deployed and managed workloads on Kubernetes (EKS, GKE) with Helm; implemented blue-green and rolling deployments using NGINX Ingress Controller.
• Configured liveness/readiness probes, HPA, and cluster autoscalers; enforced Network Policies and RBAC for secure communication and access control.

Networking, Storage & DNS

• Managed DNS records (A, CNAME) for AWS/GCP Load Balancers; enforced WAF rules using AWS WAF and GCP Cloud Armor for traffic filtering and DDoS protection.
• Managed backups with EBS snapshots, set S3 policies, blocked public access, and implemented lifecycle rules for storage efficiency.

Monitoring & Incident Response

• Integrated Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and Coralogix for observability, monitoring, and alerting.
• Diagnosed and resolved pod restarts, CPU throttling, memory leaks, and scaling issues to reduce downtime and improve resilience.

Security & Compliance Automation

• Embedded SonarQube for SAST in CI/CD, reducing vulnerabilities by 30%.
• Automated CIS Benchmark and SOC2 compliance scans using Python scripts and CSPM tools across AWS and GCP.
• Deployed Wazuh (SIEM & HIDS) in GKE; integrated GuardDuty, Trend Micro, and ClamAV for malware detection and threat intelligence.
• Enforced Zero Trust Architecture, least-privilege IAM, VPN-based access via Perimeter81; maintained versioned S3 buckets, encrypted backups, and audit trails.
