- As a technology consultant worked for Kingfisher client, I implemented policy as code using Terraform and enforced the CIS benchmark policies. This strategic initiative significantly improved security measures and helped maintain compliance, while the custom tagging policies I introduced facilitated better resource management and cost efficiency.
- For Menzies, I successfully designed and deployed a cloud-based Landing Zone using Terraform. This provided a secure, multi-account AWS environment that helped segregate workloads, enhance security, and align with regulatory compliance standards.
- I also led a cloud optimization project with Menzies, focusing on right-sizing instances, improving storage efficiency, and implementing effective data lifecycle management. This resulted in substantial cost savings and improved system performance, without compromising on operational requirements.
- Collaborated with the product team to develop an AKS managed service, assisting in the creation of reusable templates, configuration files, and automating processes using Python and Bash. This not only streamlined the deployment process but also empowered the team to maintain and enhance the service independently.
