Work Experience
- Migrated 8 microservices from manual deployment scripts to GitHub Actions pipelines, reducing average release cycle from 2 hours to 18 minutes and eliminating a recurring class of human-error deployment failures that had caused 2 production rollbacks in the preceding quarter.
- Provisioned dev and staging AWS infrastructure using Terraform (VPC, EC2, RDS PostgreSQL, IAM), reducing environment setup time from 3 days to under 30 minutes and establishing environment parity that eliminated 4 "works in dev, fails in staging" incidents per month.
- Containerised 3 legacy Node.js services using Docker and deployed to ECS Fargate with ECR image management; deployment time fell by 85% and on-call team eliminated the weekly manual restart procedure that had been in place for 14 months.
- Configured CloudWatch dashboards and 12 SNS-routed alarms for EC2, RDS, and Lambda; on-call team received first meaningful alert within 5 minutes of going live, replacing a previous monitoring gap of over 30 minutes.
- Automated 4 routine operational tasks in Python and Bash (S3 lifecycle policy audits, RDS snapshot cleanup, EC2 tag compliance, CMK rotation checks), recovering 6 hours per week of senior engineer time previously spent on manual checks.
- Assisted in converting a manually managed staging environment to Terraform; environment drift incidents fell from 3-4 per sprint to zero over the following quarter, removing a recurring source of pre-release delays.
- Maintained Jenkins CI/CD pipeline for a monolithic Java application serving 15,000 daily active users; resolved an average of 3 pipeline failures per week, reducing average developer wait time from 45 minutes to under 10 minutes.
- Managed EC2 instances, IAM users, and S3 buckets for a client-facing e-commerce platform; completed monthly patching and quarterly access reviews across 40 IAM principals with zero audit findings.
- Deployed a Kubernetes cluster on EC2 using kubeadm for a non-production workload and authored Helm charts for a 3-service application; cluster adopted by 2 additional teams after a successful 60-day trial.
- Joined on-call shadow rotation for the production environment over 3 months; participated in 2 live P2 incidents, assisting senior engineers with AWS console triage, log analysis, and drafting the postmortem action items.
- Wrote CloudWatch Logs Insights queries that helped the backend team identify a slow-query pattern causing 12% of API 500 errors; fix deployed within 48 hours of root cause identification.
