Joined as the first in-house DevOps Engineer during a major scale-up phase. Scaled and operationalized a multi-account AWS platform spanning 10+ Amazon EKS clusters. Built and standardized Terraform-based infrastructure and Kubernetes delivery workflows using Helm, GitLab CI/CD and Argo CD. Built observability across Datadog and Grafana, established AWS WAF and Shield Advanced protection, modernized production database and processing components, reduced AWS infrastructure costs by approximately 15%, and designed a serverless image optimization platform using AWS Lambda and CloudFront.
Operated a high-volume AWS IoT and data platform with 100+ microservices running on Amazon EKS. Standardized application delivery through reusable Helm charts and GitLab CI/CD pipelines. Migrated application logs to Loki, eliminating CloudWatch log-ingestion costs. Built observability with Prometheus, Grafana and Loki, and provisioned AWS infrastructure with Terraform while supporting Istio service mesh, Keycloak-based identity and access management, OpenSearch, secrets management and EMR Serverless.
Delivered DevOps, cloud infrastructure, and automation solutions across 10+ projects for multiple international clients, primarily on AWS, with additional exposure to GCP, Azure, and on-premises environments. Designed and provisioned cloud infrastructure using Terraform and CloudFormation, automated server configuration with Ansible, and deployed containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes. Built Jenkins-based CI/CD pipelines supporting 20+ applications.
