Every release, the same way

A commit doesn't ship until it's built, tested, and deployed through the same automated path — every time, every environment.

Professional summary

Reliable, automated infrastructure delivery — from CI/CD and container orchestration to disaster recovery and cost-aware cloud management.

[01]

CI/CD & Release Engineering

Designs and runs pipelines that automate build, test and release. Automates multi-environment deployments across EC2, ASG, RDS and ECS.

[02]

Kubernetes & Orchestration

Deploys and manages clusters — RBAC, ServiceAccounts, namespaces, deployments and services — with Helm charts and GitOps via ArgoCD.

[03]

Infrastructure as Code

Provisions cloud infrastructure with Terraform using modular, reusable configurations, automated through Jenkins for blue-green deploys.

[04]

Disaster Recovery & HA

Architects AWS disaster recovery with AWS Backup and Elastic DRS, leveraging multi-AZ design for minimal downtime and rapid recovery.

[05]

Monitoring & Observability

Builds end-to-end observability with Prometheus, Grafana, SigNoz, Zabbix and CloudWatch for proactive incident detection.

[06]

Database Administration

Administers MongoDB Atlas on AWS alongside PostgreSQL and MySQL — data integrity, availability, performance, secure access.

[07]

Security & Compliance

Runs dependency analysis and automated SBOM generation through CI/CD, plus IAM users/roles/policies and security-group management.

[08]

Edge & Network

Integrates Cloudflare for DNS, CDN acceleration, WAF protection, SSL/TLS enforcement and DDoS mitigation.

[09]

Automation & Scripting

Writes advanced shell scripts to automate operational tasks and orchestrate workflows across heterogeneous environments.

How the work actually gets done

INFORoot-cause first, patch second — issues get fixed at the source, not papered over.
OKMulti-AZ disaster recovery designed around minimal downtime, not just backups that sit unused.
INFOEvery release ships with automated SBOM generation — dependencies are tracked, not assumed.
OKCost and performance are optimized together, not traded off against each other.
INFODocumentation is written for the next engineer, including future-me at 3am.
