- Implemented a full GitOps workflow using ArgoCD to automate and synchronize Kubernetes deployments directly from Git repositories.
- Enhanced deployment safety by integrating Argo Rollouts for progressive delivery strategies like blue-green and canary deployments.
- Optimized cluster performance and cost-efficiency by configuring the KEDA for application-level scaling and deploying Karpenter for rapid, cost-aware node provisioning and scaling at the cluster level.
- Engineered end-to-end CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and AWS Developer Tools to fully automate the build, test, and deployment process for both containerized and serverless applications, significantly improving deployment frequency.
- Managed EC2 instances at scale using AWS Systems Manager, automating patching, compliance, and remote operations while eliminating bastion host requirements through Session Manager.
- Automated the provisioning and management of multi-environment AWS resources using Terraform, implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) best practices to ensure consistency, repeatability, and version control for all cloud infrastructure.
- Designed and implemented Jenkins CI/CD pipelines that automated Docker image builds, pushed versioned artifacts to Amazon ECR, and updated Kubernetes manifest files in Git repositories by replacing image tags with the latest build versions.
- Established a comprehensive full-stack observability framework by deploying the OpenTelemetry collector to gather unified metrics, logs, and traces from both EKS and ECS environments, enabling deeper insights into application performance and health.
- Provisioned and managed production-grade AWS MSK clusters using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), configuring VPC networking, IAM authentication, encryption at rest/in-transit, and multi-AZ deployment.
