Experience Highlights

Migrate Monoliths to EKS w/ Terraform & Helm: 40% Cost Savings

Migrated a monolithic legacy application to Amazon EKS (Kubernetes) using Terraform for infrastructure-as-code (IaC) and Helm for application deployment, achieving 40% cost savings while improving scalability, resilience, and operational efficiency. Key Takeaways - Cost Efficiency: 40% reduction in cloud spend by optimizing resource allocation. - Improved Scalability: Dynamic scaling based on demand. - Automation: Infrastructure and deployments fully codified (GitOps). - Future-Proofing: Paved the way for microservices adoption.

Secure, Multi-Region AWS Organization with Strict IAM Boundaries

Designed and implemented a secure, multi-region AWS Organization with enforced IAM boundaries, SCPs (Service Control Policies), and automated guardrails to minimize blast radius, prevent misconfigurations, and ensure compliance across 100+ accounts. Key Factors: - Least Privilege by Design: Eliminated overprivileged IAM roles. - Multi-Region Resilience: Enforced policies across 10+ AWS regions. - Compliance Automation: SOC2-ready controls with no manual effort. - Self-Service Security: Developers get secure environments by default.

Automated GitOps Pipelines Cut Deployment Failures by 70%

Designed and implemented a GitOps-based CI/CD workflow using ArgoCD, Kubernetes, and GitHub Actions to automate deployments, enforce change tracking, and reduce production incidents by 70% while accelerating release cycles by 3x. Key Takeaways: - Single Source of Truth: Git as the central deployment control. - Self-Service Pipelines: Devs deploy safely via PRs. - Security by Default: Scans, policies, and secrets encryption. - Observability: Real-time deployment tracking.

DevOps Driven AWS Overhaul: Security & Cost Savings

Led a large-scale cloud modernization initiative by conducting AWS Well-Architected Reviews, implementing cost optimization strategies, and enforcing compliance controls, resulting in: - 35% reduction in cloud costs (saved $250K/year). - 90% improvement in security posture (Zero critical risks). - 100% compliance with SOC2 & HIPAA requirements. Key Takeaways ~ Proven Cloud Expertise: Demonstrated AWS best practices at scale. ~ Security-First Mindset: Eliminated risks with zero downtime. ~ Cost + Compliance Synergy: Automated governance while cutting waste.
