Key Achievements:

• Automated CI/CD Pipelines: Reduced deployment time by 50% using Terraform, and Kubernetes.
• Engineered scalable Azure environments using Terraform, Ansible, and Helm; enhanced system reliability by implementing automated backup solutions, which reduced recovery time objectives.
• Security Compliance: Strengthened cloud security with IAM policies, RBAC, and Azure Key Vault, reducing unauthorized access by 40%.
• Devised a robust logging framework using Prometheus alongside Grafana analytics dashboards, which tracked over 150 key performance indicators (KPIs), leading to meaningful insights into application health and stability metrics.

Responsibilities:

• Designed and deployed multi-region AZURE infrastructure using Terraform and CloudFormation.
• Developed and maintained Azure CI/CD pipelines for automated software deployment.
• Managed Kubernetes clusters (AKS, EKS) and optimized container orchestration.
• Created and managed Virtual Machines in Windows Azure, setting up communication with the help of Endpoints and VM.
• Configured network security groups (NSG), IAM roles, and access policies for secure deployments.
• Created ingress/egress policy to allow the traffic flow between two projects.
• Automated infrastructure monitoring using Prometheus and App insights.
• Monthly patching for all the VMSS with configured audit policies in all PROD and DEV environments.
• Optimised PowerShell scripts to drive automation in the Azure cloud system creation from end-to-end infrastructure, VM's, Storage accounts, APIM, Redis, etc.

Key achievements.

• Containerised Applications: Built and deployed microservices with Kubernetes and Docker, improving resource utilisation by 35%.
• CI/CD Optimisation: Developed Jenkins pipelines with GitOps workflows, reducing manual intervention in deployments.
• Infrastructure Automation: Created Terraform modules for rapid environment provisioning.
• Managed build and release cycles across development, staging, and production.
• Automated Azure cloud deployments using Terraform and ARM templates.

RESPONSIBILITIES.

• Performed build deployments across multiple environments, such as STAGE and PROD, and configured RBAC policies for secure Kubernetes deployments.
• Generated new repositories to enable GIT in ignoring, branching, merging, and creating pull requests, as well as the access control strategies from Bitbucket and JIRA, with maintenance.
• Directed all roles and policies via the Azure Active Directory, whilst maintaining logs in the storage account, as well as the security, roles, and permissions of the Azure DevOps team.

key achievements.

• Collaborated with application teams to optimise cloud-hosted Linux environments, ensuring 99.99% application uptime.
• Assisted in the deployment and maintenance of over 200 Linux servers, honing skills in server management and configuration.
• Built pipelines in Jenkins using multiple plug-ins, including Maven, EC2, Docker, Terraform, and JDK.
• Capture snapshots for AMI (Amazon Machine Images) of EC2 instances to create clone instances. For running instances, and to create nightly AMIs for mission-critical production servers as backups.

RESPONSIBILITIES.

• Created and maintained user accounts, permissions, and access rights, establishing a foundation for system security protocols.
• Conducted regular patching, vulnerability assessments, and compliance checks (CIS benchmarks, ISO 27001).
• Managed AWS cloud resources (EC2, VPC, CloudFront, and Route53) for highly available infrastructure.
• Integrated GitHub and Jenkins for automated build pipelines.
• Monitored and optimised system performance using Nagios and the ELK Stack.
