AGAMA IDIKA

DevOps Engineer with over five years of experience in cloud migrations and infrastructure automation, proficient in deploying microservices on AWS and leveraging tools like Jenkins, Docker, and Kubernetes to drive operational efficiency. Skilled in deploying microservices on AWS and implementing DevOps practices across infrastructures, demonstrating a visionary approach to continuous integration. Committed to pioneering transformative solutions, and fostering innovation in dynamic tech environments.

Results-driven DevOps Engineer with experience in automating and optimizing mission-critical deployments in cloud-native environments. Skilled in designing scalable infrastructure, implementing CI/CD pipelines, and managing containerized workloads with Kubernetes and Docker. Possesses a strong background in Infrastructure as Code (IaC), cloud services (AWS, Azure, and GCP), and cross-functional team collaboration.

• Deployed microservices on Kubernetes clusters in order to increase the scalability and availability of services across multiple regions.
• Worked closely with DevOps teams in order to design best practices for deploying applications into the production environment.
• Developed automated deployment processes and scripts to ensure a smooth transition from development to production.
• Configured, managed, and monitored cloud-based services such as AWS EC2, S3, EBS, ELB, and RDS using Terraform and Ansible.
• Developed procedures to automate code builds and deployments.
• Implemented containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes for faster delivery cycles.
• Establish CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, Maven, and SonarQube for streamlined code integration.
• Implement container orchestration with Kubernetes, optimizing deployment workflows.
• Automated infrastructure provisioning on AWS using Terraform and Ansible Tower.
• Set up Git repositories and SSH keys in GitHub for Agile teams.
• Helped teams to configure webhooks in GitHub to trigger automated builds in Jenkins.
• Setting up the Jenkins master, adding the necessary plugins, and adding more agents to support scalability and agility.
• Suggested and implemented a Git branching strategy for the Agile team. Set up a CI pipeline that checks out the code from SCM and packages it using the Maven build tool. Provided code analysis with SonarQube and uploaded it to Artifactory.
• Set up a CD pipeline that deploys the artifact built and deploys it to Dev, QA, UAT, and Prod.
• Wrote Ansible playbooks for code deployment and configuration management.
• Performs rollback deployment using Ansible Tower.
• Created Bash scripts for process automation.
• Created nightly builds with integration to code quality tools, such as SonarQube.
• Created quality gates in the SonarQube dashboard and enforced them in the pipelines to fail the builds when conditions are not met.
• Performs Blue/Green Deployment of Containers on EKS Clusters, orchestrated containerization initiatives by implementing.
• Docker and Kubernetes on AWS, establishing streamlined deployment workflows across QA, UAT, and Production environments.
• Automation of processes using Bash, Groovy, and Python.
• Created Ansible Tower templates for deployment into LLE - Dev, QA, UAT (Lower Level Environments), and HLE (Higher Level Environments) Prod.
• Enhance development efficiency by establishing automated testing frameworks, implementing code quality gates with SonarQube, and managing artifact repositories.
