Designed and implemented AWS cloud infrastructure and automated account/environment provisioning using infrastructure as code (CloudFormation constructs). Refactored legacy templates into construct libraries to improve maintainability and deployment speed. Built and managed Kubernetes/EKS environments (namespaces, quotas) and implemented monitoring/alerting with Prometheus and other observability tools, including dashboards for restart counts and memory pressure. Led secure CI/CD pipeline development with Git and GitLab CI, integrating DevSecOps practices, approval gates, secrets management (KMS/key management), and audit logging. Implemented least-privilege IAM policies and tagging/labeling standards, developed serverless/event-driven automation, and supported disaster recovery playbooks for multi-region architectures. Contributed to FinOps cost optimization via environment teardown and rightsizing guidance, and supported AI/RAG-related infrastructure workloads integrating OpenAI API

Delivered infrastructure as code modules for compute, storage, and access management with reusable patterns and remote state locking for consistent deployments across environments. Implemented tagging/labeling standards, automated CI/CD pipelines with matrix testing across environments, and enforced secure secrets handling using key management. Supported private networking and IAM controls with fine-grained access and network segregation. Integrated Kubernetes/Docker for container orchestration (including disruption budgets) and operated AWS cloud environments for containerized applications. Guided compliance-aligned security practices (HIPAA, CIS Benchmarks, NIST 800-53) and audit logging, transitioned legacy automation (Ansible and CloudFormation adoption), and contributed to hybrid connectivity using Transit Gateway. Built ETL/knowledge pipelines and implemented indexing and refresh automation.

Implemented comprehensive cloud operations monitoring with CloudWatch and observability tooling, configuring alerting rules and high-severity routing to on-call engineers to reduce downtime and improve incident response. Built dashboards with templated variables and integrated ELK logging sources for tag/application-based filtering. Developed and standardized CI/CD pipeline automation (including matrix builds for parallel testing across container orchestration versions) and used CloudFormation for automated, compliant AWS provisioning with encryption and tagging controls. Enforced security posture using IAM, Cloud KMS, CloudTrail/Security Hub/Audit Manager, and applied least-privilege access patterns. Supported service discovery and monitoring target management for Kubernetes/EKS workloads and improved monitoring performance via recording rules and PromQL optimization. Documented and enhanced automation with Ansible, Jinja2 templating, and role-based execution.
