Project: RetailStat

• Implemented a comprehensive automated backup solution for AWS resources across multiple environments (development, testing, production), and across 29 accounts.
• Configured and managed Jenkins jobs for various use cases, including multi-branch pipelines, pull request builds, and deployment jobs, ensuring efficient handling of different development scenarios.
• Configured New Relic agents for various services, including EC2 instances, RDS databases, and containerized applications, to collect performance metrics and logs.
• Developed a migration plan to transition monitoring from New Relic to AWS CloudWatch across all environments and accounts for more than 100 resources, and configured custom metrics to capture specific performance indicators using the CloudWatch agent.
• Analyzed and optimized cloud resource usage across AWS accounts, resulting in a 15% reduction in monthly operational costs through efficient resource allocation and scaling strategies.
• Integrated Bitbucket as the source code version control system, enabling seamless management of code changes, and facilitating collaborative development workflows.
• Wrote Terraform files and modules to define the desired state of the infrastructure, including resources such as virtual machines, networks, databases, and various AWS services.
• Developed and implemented automation scripts using Python and shell scripting to streamline operational tasks, reduce manual intervention, and enhance efficiency in server management.
• Worked with MongoDB and MySQL databases to perform various tasks, and worked closely with development teams to ensure database design aligns with application architecture, facilitating efficient data access and storage.

• Applied security measures into systems development, supporting final products' resistance to intrusion and exploitation.
• Participated in troubleshooting and resolving issues in CI/CD pipelines, improving system reliability.
• Exploring ArgoCD for continuous deployment, focusing on automating application updates.
• Automated infrastructure provisioning and management using Terraform improves resource allocation efficiency.
• Conducted an analysis of AWS resource usage and implemented tagging strategies, resulting in a 20% reduction in monthly costs.

Project: CSX Railways Application

• My responsibilities revolved around setting up and managing the DevOps CI/CD pipelines.
• Leveraged AWS services such as EC2, VPC, ECS, and RDS for deploying, managing, and scaling applications in a cloud environment.
• Making the YAML manifest Kubernetes file for Pod, Services, and Deployment creation, and managing nodes in the cluster for reducing the downtime.
• Implemented CI/CD pipelines, leveraging tools that resulted in a 15% reduction in deployment time and increased the software quality by 20%.
• Developed and maintained Docker images for Java applications by creating optimized Dockerfiles, enabling consistent deployment across development, testing, and production environments.
• Wrote Groovy scripts to enhance Jenkins pipelines, automating repetitive tasks, and improving operational efficiency.
• Monitoring and troubleshooting using Prometheus for collecting metrics from various systems.
• Collaborate with developers to troubleshoot and resolve issues for automating, deploying, and maintaining scalable and secure infrastructure, and working in an agile environment.
• Utilized Terraform to provision and manage infrastructure as code, enabling consistent and repeatable deployments across environments.

Project: WorkStatus

• Designing and developing Android and iOS applications using the Flutter framework.
• Participated in code reviews and team meetings to discuss project progress, and address any issues.
• Use version control, like Git, to manage codebase changes.
