Designed and managed AWS environments, leveraging ECS for scalable microservices, Fargate for serverless containers, and EKS for Kubernetes orchestration. Utilized RDS and Aurora Serverless for databases and CloudWatch for operational monitoring, enhancing efficiency with automated configurations via Ansible and streamlined management through AWS Systems Manager. Automated deployments and configurations for Rancher-managed infrastructure using Ansible, resulting in faster, more reliable setups. Configured Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager for comprehensive monitoring and alerting, improving system reliability. Monitored system performance using Elasticsearch and Kibana; implemented Kafka for real-time event streaming with data processed by Logstash and logs forwarded by Filebeat. Optimized CI/CD pipelines with Bamboo and Jenkins, integrating Helm for package management, streamlining deployments, and reducing errors. Managed artifact repositories with Nexus Repository Manager and utilized Git, GitLab, and Bitbucket for version control and collaboration. Coordinated release processes from staging to production, ensuring timely deployments. Managed GLI submissions for certification compliance. Administered user access with IAM policies and Crowd, enhancing security and reducing unauthorized access incidents.

Spearheaded the installation and configuration of critical DevOps tools, including Kubernetes, Rancher, the ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), Grafana, Prometheus, and Jenkins. Engineered and automated Jenkins pipelines and jobs using Ansible playbooks for efficient pod deployments within Rancher. Deployed and configured essential services such as NFS and Apache servers, SFTP solutions, and managed databases including MongoDB and Couchbase. Managed local Kubernetes deployments, creating clusters and deploying applications into containers for scalable management.

Led efforts to achieve full automation across development, testing, and deployment cycles, enhancing operational efficiency. Facilitated seamless product deployment on Kubernetes clusters, optimizing scalability for multiple microservices. Managed Kubernetes clusters with Helm charts, enabling smooth rolling updates and streamlined application deployments. Utilized OpenShift for container management and cluster maintenance, ensuring high availability and resource efficiency.
