Targeting Cloud

Engineer and DevOps Engineer roles.

Systems Engineer – Cloud Infrastructure and DevOps Support at Bandhan Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (2023-10 – Present)

• CI/CD and DevOps Operations
• Built and maintained a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline for an internal web frontend. It triggers on every push to the main branch, runs the build and deploys to EC2 with no manual steps.
• Configured GitHub Actions OIDC with AWS IAM so workflows assume scoped IAM roles at runtime, removing long-lived AWS access keys from pipelines.
• Managed EC2 hosting for internal web applications: server health, OS patching, security group rules and troubleshooting deployment failures across build and release cycles.
• Provisioned CI/CD target environments on EC2: application runtimes, deployment directories and parity between testing and production-equivalent stages.
• Supported Software Development release workflows: environment readiness, post-deployment health checks and fixing access or configuration issues that blocked pipelines.
• AWS Cloud Administration
• Provisioned and managed EC2 instances (Linux, Windows, GPU g4dn) for 50+ Software Developers and AI Engineers, including instance types, EBS storage, key pairs, IAM instance profiles and security groups.
• Wrote and enforced least-privilege IAM policies with conditions such as IP allow listing (aws:SourceIp) and MFA enforcement (aws:MultiFactorAuthPresent). Managed users, groups and roles.
• Configured VPC architecture: subnets, route tables, Internet and NAT Gateways, Security Groups and NACLs. Kept dev, staging and production isolated, with VPC Peering for controlled communication.
• Managed S3 bucket policies, presigned URLs and cross-account access. Set up CloudWatch dashboards and alarms, and cost allocation tagging with Cost Explorer.
• Azure Cloud Administration
• Deployed and managed Azure Virtual Machines, Resource Groups, VNets, NSGs and managed disks.
• Administered Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) with RBAC role assignments, conditional access policies and MFA enforcement for Dev and AI Engineering teams.
• Monitored resource health, performance and cost with Azure Monitor and Cost Management. Maintained environment documentation and access reviews across Azure subscriptions.
• Infrastructure, Security and Operations
• Managed 1000+ Active Directory accounts: RBAC groups, GPOs for software deployment and security, monthly inactive account audits with PowerShell, and offboarding with 90-day account retention.
• Administered VMware ESXi hosts for Dev team VMs. Operated Wazuh SIEM for alert triage and log analysis.
• Managed FortiGate firewall policies, web filtering profiles for 5+ BPO processes, and NAT rules.
• Maintained endpoint security with Trend Micro Apex One and Xcitium EDR. Monitored infrastructure with Zabbix.
• Performed monthly Windows Server patching and produced operational reports on KPIs, patch compliance and security metrics.
