• Owned CI/CD pipeline execution using Jenkins and AWS CodePipeline across dev, QA, and production environments, standardizing the release process across 20+ services and reducing environment-to-environment deployment inconsistencies.
• Migrated partially-scripted infrastructure provisioning to fully templated CloudFormation deployments replacing manual configuration steps with repeatable, version-controlled templates and reducing environment setup errors.
• Containerized enterprise applications using Docker and supported Kubernetes-based deployments, improving deployment consistency and reducing "works on my machine" environment mismatches across dev/QA/prod.
• Built AWS CloudWatch dashboards and proactive alerts shifting incident detection from reactive (user-reported) to proactive, catching issues before they impacted end users.
• Partnered with development, QA, and release teams to troubleshoot deployment issues in real time, resolving pipeline failures faster and reducing the need for rollback deployments.
• Authored operational runbooks and incident response documentation for recurring deployment and infrastructure issues, giving the team a standard reference during on-call and reducing repeated troubleshooting from scratch.
