•Designed and implemented scalable AWS infrastructure (EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS), boosting availability by 30% and cutting costs by 15% through optimization and Reserved Instances •Migrated TFS pipelines to Azure DevOps, reducing deployment time by 40% and enhancing team collaboration with automated CI/CD pipelines. •Managed GitHub and GitLab repositories, streamlining version control and improving developer productivity by 25% while minimizing deployment errors. •Orchestrated Kubernetes and Docker deployments using Helm charts, reducing deployment time and manual errors while ensuring high scalability. •Automated Continuous Delivery Pipeline using Ansible Playbooks, enabling efficient microservices deployment and AWS provisioning, which reduced deployment time and errors. •Automated build/release pipelines with Python, Perl, Bash, and PowerShell, accelerating delivery cycles and minimizing errors. •Set up Prometheus and Grafana monitoring for Kubernetes clusters, cutting downtime by 25% and improving incident response by 40% •Migrated Linux environments to AWS/RHEL with auto-scaling, improving system performance and uptime. •Integrated Kubernetes with HashiCorp Vault to securely inject runtime configurations for services, leveraging in its containers, config sidecars, and persistent volume sharing to enhance scalability and security.

•Designed and deployed Azure-based solutions (Storage, VMs, SQL, Functions, AD), improving system scalability and security with role-based access control. •Automated Kubernetes resource management using Terraform, streamlining deployments and ensuring consistency across environments. •Integrated Jenkins APIs with Groovy for build status tracking, improving build health visibility and enabling prepared decision making. •Managed Ansible Tower and Playbooks, automating infrastructure tasks and reducing manual errors by 30%

*Helped students understand tough concepts like arrays, stacks, and trees by breaking them down into simple, everyday examples. * Supported classmates in real time during lectures and labs by answering questions, guiding problem-solving, and offering quick tips. * Worked one-on-one and in small groups to explain coding errors, debug programs, and build confidence in problem-solving. * Created relatable examples (like queues as waiting lines or trees as family structures) to connect theory with real-world scenarios. * Collaborated with the professor to prepare exercises and keep the classroom more interactive and engaging. * Encouraged peer discussions so everyone could learn not just from me, but also from each other. * Helped students understand tough concepts like arrays, stacks, and trees by breaking them down into simple, everyday examples. •Supported classmates in real time during lectures and labs by answering questions, guiding problem-solving, and offering quick tips. •Worked one-on-one and in small groups to explain coding errors, debug programs, and build confidence in problem-solving. •Created relatable examples (like queues as waiting lines or trees as family structures) to connect theory with real-world scenarios. •Collaborated with the professor to prepare exercises and keep the classroom more interactive and engaging. • Encouraged peer discussions so everyone could learn not just from me, but also from each other.

•Utilized GCP services (Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, Cloud SQL) to design scalable, high-availability solutions, improving cost efficiency and resource utilization. •Developed CloudFormation templates for AWS infrastructure, automating deployment and reducing manual errors. •Configured AWS IAM users and groups with multi-layer authentication, leveraging JSON policies and ARNs to enforce granular, requirement-based permissions. •Built Kubernetes clusters using Helm Charts, creating, and managing pods, replica sets, services, deployments, and ingress/egress rules with YAML configurations. •Established precise SLIs and SLOs in collaboration with developers, enabling data-driven monitoring and rapid incident resolution. This ensured 99.99% service reliability, enhancing user satisfaction, and reducing operational disruptions. •Enhanced network security by configuring firewalls for critical protocols, increasing system reliability, and minimizing vulnerabilities. •Deployed Splunk for centralized logging, enabling real-time monitoring and reducing incident response times. •Automated Java project builds and deployments with Jenkins and Maven, improving delivery speed and reducing setup errors.
