Supporting a microservices-based fintech application — building automation, managing AWS infrastructure, and enabling daily deployments through CI/CD pipelines.

• CI/CD Pipeline Engineering: Designed and maintained Jenkins pipelines (written as Pipeline-as-Code in Groovy) that reduced deployment time by 40% and enabled 3× faster release cycles, supporting multiple daily deployments to dev, staging, and production environments.
• AWS Infrastructure Management: Provisioned and managed EC2, VPC, RDS, S3, IAM, ECR, and CloudWatch using Terraform modules with remote state on S3 and DynamoDB locking — reducing manual provisioning effort by 70%.
• Containerisation: Containerised 12+ legacy application services using Docker and Docker Compose, eliminating environment inconsistencies across all deployment stages.
• Infrastructure-as-Code: Authored reusable Terraform modules for VPC, EC2, RDS, and IAM; leveraged Autoscaling Groups and Security Groups to support high-availability, scalable architectures.
• Automation Scripting: Wrote Bash and Python automation scripts for routine maintenance, log rotation, backup jobs, health checks, and server monitoring — improving operational efficiency by 30%.
• Monitoring & Alerting: Configured CloudWatch dashboards, alarms, and escalation policies, reducing mean time to detection (MTTD) by 50%; integrated Prometheus and Grafana for real-time observability.
• Security & Compliance: Integrated security scanning and automated testing into CI/CD workflows; applied IAM least-privilege principles, SSL/TLS configurations, and Security Group hardening across all AWS environments.
• Kubernetes Migration: Leading hands-on planning and lab work for migration of Docker Swarm workloads to a managed Kubernetes cluster, including pod design, service definitions, and ConfigMap management.
• Agile Collaboration: Worked in cross-functional agile squads with developers and QA engineers, contributing to sprint planning, technical documentation, and end-to-end feature delivery.
