  • Designing and deploying client infrastructure on public clouds (AWS and Azure) leveraging DevOps methodologies.
  • Working with developers to create an automated, efficient delivery pipeline that helps build software rapidly and effectively using Azure DevOps and Jenkins CI/CD tools.
  • Responsible for automating end-to-end deployment of cloud infrastructure using Terraform, CloudFormation, Azure ARM, and code version control.
  • Design, deploy, and manage microservices-based applications deployed on Kubernetes clusters and Azure Kubernetes Services.
  • Reduce timelines for successful pipeline deployment using scripting (Shell and PowerShell), Terraform, Ansible, and Puppet.
  • Reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for clients by successfully migrating workloads to AWS and Azure Clouds.
  • Deploying microservices-based applications on Azure AKS and AWS EKS Kubernetes clusters.
  • Design and perform proof of concepts (PoC) for validating application integration with the cloud.
  • Train and mentor colleagues on DevOps tools and processes.
  • Work on different AWS services, like EC2 instances, ELB (Load Balancers), EBS (Volumes), Security Groups, CloudWatch, Route 53, VPC, IAM, KMS, S3, Certificate Manager (ACM), SES (SMTP), SNS, Cost Explorer, Auto Scaling Group (ASG), and CloudTrail.
  • Optimized EC2 instances, volumes, and security groups.
  • Configure VPC, Security Groups, Public, and Private subnets.
  • Configured the Jenkins CI tool for the project and set up Nightly Builds.
  • Automated the code deployment process in each environment (development, QA, staging, production).
  • Installation, Configuration, and Administration of Jenkins over UNIX and LINUX build machines.
  • Accomplished in tool automation using shell scripting.
  • Deploying Kubernetes clusters using AWS EKS and deploying microservices.
  • Automating Docker image creation as part of the pipeline, and pushing to ECR and ACR.
  • Roll out application changes to multiple environments using Rolling Update and Blue-Green Deployment methods.
  • Support and administration of Production, Pre-Production (PPE), and Test/Development environments.
  • Responsible for the deployment on Linux for Dev/QA, staging, and production environments.
  • Using Terraform for infrastructure automation, Packer AMI automation, and Jenkins CI/CD pipelines.
  • Designing declarative pipelines for multi-branching deployments.
  • Ansible for configuration management with Playbooks & Roles.
  • Designed and deployed a microservices architecture using Kubernetes, implementing namespaces for multi-environment isolation and resource segmentation.
  • Configured ingress controllers to manage external access to services, enabling TLS termination and path-based routing for secure traffic handling.
  • Utilized NodePort services for internal testing and debugging, ensuring direct access to pods without ingress overhead.
  • Secured sensitive data by managing Secrets and ConfigMaps, enhancing the security posture of the application.
  • Implemented Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) to dynamically scale pods based on CPU and memory usage, improving system performance during peak loads.
  • Enforced Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to restrict user permissions, ensuring compliance with security policies, and least privilege access.
  • Enhanced application reliability by configuring Liveness and Readiness Probes, reducing downtime by 20% through automated pod health checks.
  • Leveraged taints and tolerations to control pod scheduling, optimizing resource usage by isolating critical workloads on dedicated nodes.
  • Deployed complex applications using init containers for pre-setup tasks and sidecar containers for logging and monitoring, improving observability and lifecycle management.
  • Deploying infrastructure using Terraform IaaC, and image automation using Packer.
  • Extraction, transformation, and loading were performed using Informatica.
  • Using Docker Compose files, I defined services, networks, and volumes, and deployed them to the Swarm cluster. I implemented rolling updates to ensure minimal downtime during deployment.
  • Designing technical documents based on functional documents.
  • I set up a Docker Swarm cluster by configuring multiple nodes (managing one manager and several worker nodes) to ensure high availability and fault tolerance.
  • Set up a remote repository on GitHub, and ensured all developers followed best practices for commit messages and pull requests.
  • Created Jenkins pipelines (Declarative Pipeline) for different environments (development, staging, production), integrating build and deployment stages.
  • Used the debugger to run debug sessions, setting breakpoints across instances to verify the accuracy of data.
  • Wrote Terraform scripts to automate the provisioning of infrastructure on AWS, including EC2 instances, RDS databases, and load balancers.
  • Monitoring the jobs using the Workflow Monitor.
  • Tuning ETL procedures to optimize load and query performance.
