Spearheaded CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and GitHub Actions for a diverse portfolio of applications, reducing deployment times by 60% and improving reliability across environments. Automated event-driven workflows with AWS Step Functions and EventBridge, enabling scalable architectures while maintaining strong security. Implemented data access improvements with APIs and AppSync, and managed secrets with Secrets Manager, SSM and Cognito. Orchestrated container workloads on EKS with monitoring and auto-scaling, and established a team-wide strategy for continuous application monitoring using Prometheus, Grafana and CloudWatch. Led ETL/data pipelines with AWS Glue and maintained agile documentation in Jira and Confluence to support clear delivery processes.

Led migration from monolithic to microservices architectures to improve troubleshootability and security by 40%. Managed AWS workloads across EC2, RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB, Redshift and Lambda. Automated infrastructure with CodePipeline, CodeCommit, CodeBuild and CloudFormation. Built incident escalation workflows and runbooks with DataDog, Grafana and Confluence. Integrated AWS Glue jobs into DevOps workflows to automate data transformations. Enforced secure identity management via IAM, AWS Organizations, Cognito and Secrets Manager/Parameter Store. Maintained hybrid cloud networks and transit gateways with robust IAM security. Contributed to a culture of reliability by documenting procedures and automating recurring tasks.

Built CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, Nexus and Maven; automated deployments to Kubernetes and ECS. Provisioned infrastructure with Terraform, Ansible and CloudFormation (VPCs, IAM, ECS, ELB, Auto Scaling, S3). Implemented SQS/SNS for decoupled messaging, improving fault tolerance. Reduced downtime by 30% through orchestration on EKS and Docker Swarm and systematic upgrade procedures. Integrated Step Functions and Lambda for automation of operational tasks. Configured logging pipelines with ELK/EFK and CloudWatch. Collaborated with cross-functional teams using Jira and Confluence to ensure clarity and timely delivery.
