Experience Highlights

🚀 How I Architected a Blazing-Fast E-Commerce Store

As a DevOps engineer, I designed an e-commerce architecture with 100% performance and flawless Web Vitals. 💡 Tech Stack Frontend: Next.js for speed. Backends: Medusa & Strapi for e-commerce and CMS. Media Storage: AWS S3 with CloudFront. 💼 Deployment Alpine Docker images in private containers behind Nginx. Separate Docker Compose files for dev, staging, and production. AWS EC2 with an ALB routing to Next.js, Medusa, and Strapi. 📦 Caching CloudFront has custom policies that use three origins for S3 buckets. 🎯 Outcome A scalable, secure, high-performing platform.

AWS DevOps Role: Key Milestones and Accomplishments

As an AWS DevOps expert, I have optimized cloud-based environments for my clients by focusing on security, streamlining processes, and enhancing infrastructure. Key accomplishments include configuring secure external access, setting up DNS forwarding for seamless redirection, and establishing a NAT gateway for Dev Lambda. I also optimized WordPress instances, resolved CORS issues, and maintained data privacy and performance in production environments. My work has significantly improved clients' cloud environments.

DevOps Consulting to migrate Code from 1 Git Hub Account to another

In this project, I tackled a critical challenge where the GitHub Action pipeline was unable to communicate with the EC2 instance, leading to deployment failures. By conducting a thorough analysis, I identified the root cause of the issue and implemented necessary fixes to restore seamless communication between GitHub Action and the EC2 environment. As a result, the code deployment process to the EC2 instance was successfully resolved, ensuring smooth operations of the development workflow

Portainer sysops expert to fix some issues

In this project, I led efforts to address a critical challenge within a Docker container environment where containers were experiencing repeated restarts. The root cause of this issue was traced back to the interaction between a Python API and the Bard API, consistently encountering a status code 429, indicating "too many requests". To tackle this issue, I conducted a comprehensive analysis and debugging process to pinpoint the underlying cause of the Docker containers' restarting behavior. Through meticulous examination of the application's exception logs, I uncovered crucial insights into the specific challenges posed by the Bard API 429 status code.

DevOps Engineer: Server Optimization

I assumed the role of a DevOps Engineer tasked with optimizing a Windows server environment and resolving DNS-related performance issues. Upon investigation, it was discovered that the websites hosted on the server were experiencing sluggish loading times, attributed to a distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attack causing excessive traffic congestion. To mitigate this issue, I meticulously analyzed incoming network traffic to identify and isolate the malicious sources responsible for the DDOS attack. Leveraging stringent firewall policies, I strategically blocked these malicious entities, effectively safeguarding the server from further disruptions. In addition to mitigating the DDOS attack, I implemented comprehensive optimization measures to enhance the server's performance and responsiveness. This involved fine-tuning server configurations, optimizing resource allocation, and implementing caching mechanisms to streamline website delivery and improve overall user experience.
