DevOps & Cloud Engineering Intern at Navoy

February 1, 2026 - August 31, 2026

Built a GitOps CI/CD workflow on Kubernetes (AWS EKS) with ArgoCD for 7 microservices, replacing manual SSH/Docker Compose deployments with git-based rollouts and one-command rollbacks. Provisioned AWS infrastructure (EKS, VPC networking, S3) with Terraform across two environments. Embedded DevSecOps in GitLab CI using a reusable template across all repositories: Semgrep SAST, Gitleaks secret scanning, Trivy SCA/container scanning, and OWASP ZAP DAST. Migrated application secrets from .env files to AWS Secrets Manager and synced them to Kubernetes via External Secrets Operator. Implemented monitoring with CloudWatch, Uptime Kuma checks, Netdata metrics, and supported incident response with root cause analysis. Led a multi-cloud migration (GKE, Nebius, AWS EKS, OVH) and moved stateful workloads to OVH VPS, cutting hosting costs by 72%. Troubleshot a production AWS Bedrock incident caused by a LiteLLM fallback proxy, restoring multi-turn tool calls across 4 AI providers without applicati

DevOps Project Contributor at Tritux

July 1, 2025 - August 31, 2025

Designed a reusable, language-agnostic CI/CD pipeline for Node.js, Java, and Python projects using Jenkins and GitHub Actions, including SonarQube quality gates and Nexus artifact management. Reduced onboarding time from 1 hour to 30 minutes by introducing a metadata.yaml configuration system enabling near zero-code pipeline setup for new projects.

Cybersecurity Intern at Tekru

June 1, 2024 - July 31, 2024

Performed penetration testing and vulnerability assessments on three web applications using Burp Suite, Metasploit, and Nmap. Identified 10+ vulnerabilities including SQL injection and XML-based exploits. Collaborated with developers to remediate issues by applying secure coding practices such as parameterized queries and input validation.
