• Developed CI/CD pipelines as code using Jenkins to automate build and deployment of microservices to Azure Service Fabric clusters, streamlining releases across dev, test, and prod environments. Integrated artifact management, and deployment validation into Jenkins pipelines for improved reliability
• Optimized build and deployment workflows, reducing manual intervention and accelerating feature delivery using Jenkins and Azure Service Fabric.
• Implemented microservices architecture using Azure Service Fabric for improved modularity, reliability, and performance. Configured and maintained Service Fabric clusters, supporting seamless microservices deployment and orchestration.
• Provisioned and managed cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform, enabling consistent, scalable, and automated deployments across environments. Automated cloud resource provisioning (e.g., VMs, networks, storage) on platforms like Azure using Terraform, ensuring infrastructure is version-controlled
• Leveraged Terraform state management and workspaces to handle environment segregation and ensure safe infrastructure updates
• Automated virtual machine provisioning and monitoring tool installations (CrowdStrike, Telegraf, and NCPA) through efficient scripting, reducing manual overhead and increasing consistency
• Designed and maintained Grafana dashboards to monitor the performance and availability of Azure resources, ensuring real-time visibility and proactive incident response. Optimized existing Grafana dashboards for better clarity, performance, and usability, aligning with operational and business needs
• Took ownership of Nagios Core setup to monitor diverse Azure resources, ensuring high availability and performance visibility across the infrastructure. Developed and maintained custom Nagios scripts for proactive monitoring, alerting, and incident response
• Automated NCPA agent installation and configuration on target VMs using custom scripts, streamlining the monitoring setup process. Enhanced monitoring coverage by configuring service checks for Azure resources such as VMs, cluster health, web jobs, app services, and certificates
• Developed Bash scripts to automate existing infrastructure tasks, improving operational efficiency and reducing manual effort. Wrote modular and reusable Bash scripts for provisioning, monitoring, and configuration tasks, streamlining DevOps workflows
• Developed and maintained Docker files to automate Jenkins agent provisioning with preconfigured tools and dependencies, reducing setup time and manual errors. Streamlined Jenkins agent deployment using Docker, enhancing build scalability and maintainability in a containerized environment
• Deployed and managed microservices on Azure Service Fabric, ensuring high availability and scalability of distributed applications.
• Leveraged AKS to dynamically provision pods in Jenkins pipelines, enabling scalable and efficient CI/CD execution for microservices.
