Key Skills & Responsibilities:

• Cloud Infrastructure (AWS): Proficient in provisioning and managing AWS services such as EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, VPC, DynamoDB, Route53, ECR, EKS, SQS, SNS, CloudWatch, and CloudTrail for high-availability and secure application deployment.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Hands-on experience with Terraform for cloud resource provisioning and Ansible for configuration management, application setup, and remote orchestration across environments.
• CI/CD & Automation: Expertise in building, configuring, and maintaining Jenkins pipelines for continuous integration and delivery. Automated repetitive and operational tasks using Shell and Python scripting.
• Build & Dependency Management: Proficient with Maven for building and managing Java-based applications, especially Spring Boot microservices.
• Containerization & Orchestration: In-depth knowledge of Docker and Kubernetes (EKS) for packaging, deploying, and orchestrating containerized applications. Service discovery and dynamic configuration handled via Consul.
• Monitoring & Logging: Integrated New Relic, Sumo Logic, and CloudWatch for real-time monitoring, alerting, and log aggregation to ensure operational visibility and performance optimization.
• Version Control & Collaboration: Skilled in using GitHub for source code management, pull requests, and GitOps-based deployment workflows.
• Security & Compliance: Used HashiCorp Vault for secure secrets management and SonarQube for maintaining code quality. Ensured auditing through CloudTrail.
• Database Management: Experience with PostgreSQL for schema design, performance tuning, backup automation, and scripting with psql.
• MuleSoft API Platform: Supported deployment, configuration, and monitoring of APIs using Anypoint Runtime Fabric (RTF) and CloudHub platforms with automation and reporting integration.
• Spring Boot Microservices: Deployed, scaled, and managed Spring Boot APIs in both Kubernetes and EC2 environments. Integrated with CI/CD, logging, and monitoring stacks.
• API Testing & Messaging: Used Postman for API validation. Worked with Kafka, SQS, and SNS to enable asynchronous communication across systems.
• Ticketing & ITSM Tools: Worked with Jira and ServiceNow for incident management, change tracking, and task automation aligned with ITIL practices.

• Automated daily backups of critical data using AWS S3, reducing the risk of data loss in case of system failures.
• Participated in architectural discussions to build confidence and promote customer success when developing new and migrating existing applications, software and services on AWS platform.
• Designed custom monitoring dashboards using Amazon CloudWatch for real-time insight into system health and performance metrics.
• Implemented security best practices within the AWS environment, safeguarding sensitive data and ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
• Developed comprehensive strategies for leveraging AWS Auto Scaling, ensuring optimal resource allocation and cost efficiency during periods of high demand.
• Utilized version control tools like Git and GitHub to manage code, track changes, and collaborate with fellow developers.
• Enabled continuous integration workflows for developers by setting up build pipelines based on Jenkins or GitLab CI/CD platforms.
• Championed adoption of Infrastructure as Code methodologies, utilizing tools like Terraform and Ansible for streamlined provisioning and configuration management tasks.
