Work History

DevOps Engineer

UJR Technologies
10.2024 - Current
  • Designed and managed end-to-end CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitHub Actions, automating build, test, and deployment processes for microservices-based and monolithic applications.
  • Led the implementation of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, creating modular templates for AWS resources such as EC2, S3, RDS, EKS, ECR, VPC, and IAM-enabling consistent, version-controlled deployments across all environments.
  • Deployed and maintained Kubernetes (EKS) clusters, configuring pods, deployments, services, config maps, secrets, and ingress controllers for robust application orchestration.
  • Designed Helm charts to simplify application deployments and ensure environment consistency. Built and optimized Docker images using multi-stage builds, integrated automated image scans, and managed repositories in AWS ECR.
  • Managed Linux (Amazon Linux, Ubuntu) servers for production workloads-handled patching, resource tuning, log management, and system hardening.
  • Implemented monitoring and observability stacks with Prometheus, Grafana, and AWS CloudWatch, defining custom dashboards and alerts to proactively address performance issues.
  • Automated environment provisioning and teardown using Terraform, Bash scripts reducing manual provisioning time by more than 75%.
  • Architected and managed secure VPCs with private/public subnets, NAT Gateways, Route Tables, and custom security groups to ensure controlled network segmentation.
  • Configured auto-scaling groups and load balancers (ALB/NLB) to improve resilience and fault tolerance of production workloads.
  • Implemented role-based access control (RBAC) within Kubernetes and AWS IAM for security and compliance.
  • Managed GitHub repositories, enforcing branch protection, code-review approvals, and integrating pull requests into automated CI workflows.
  • Integrated SonarQube scans into the CI/CD pipeline for code quality and vulnerability management.
  • Deployed infrastructure monitoring alerts to Slack and email using CloudWatch alarms and AWS SNS for immediate incident notification.
  • Handled production release management, performing blue-green and rolling deployments with zero downtime.
  • Developed and maintained backup and disaster recovery strategies for RDS databases, S3 buckets, and EBS snapshots.
  • Implemented cost-optimization techniques, such as reserved instances, instance scheduling, and S3 lifecycle policies.
  • Participated in Agile/Scrum ceremonies, contributing to sprint planning, story estimation, and retrospectives to align DevOps activities with development goals.
  • Collaborated closely with application, QA, and security teams to ensure smooth releases and compliance with best practices.
  • Documented detailed infrastructure diagrams, CI/CD workflows, and runbooks in Confluence for knowledge sharing and onboarding.
  • Mentored junior engineers in DevOps tools, scripting, and best practices, improving overall team efficiency.
