  • Leading the design and implementation of a continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline for a client's web application
  • This included utilizing Jenkins and Maven for automated builds, unit testing, and deployment to multiple environments, Git for version control and collaboration, and Docker for containerization
  • The pipeline resulted in a 50% reduction in deployment time and a significant increase in the speed of bug fixes and new feature releases
  • Using the AWS platform, I have had the opportunity to work on various projects utilizing the full range of AWS services and tools such as EC2, S3, RDS, ELB, and Elastic Beanstalk
  • One of my key accomplishments was implementing a highly available and scalable Kubernetes cluster for a large e-commerce client
  • This cluster was used to deploy and manage the client's microservices-based application
  • By using Kubernetes, I was able to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of the application, which resulted in a 60% reduction in deployment time
  • Additionally, this allowed the client to easily roll out new features and updates to their customers
  • Project I worked on was for a client in the healthcare industry
  • The client needed to migrate their data center to AWS
  • I used Terraform for provisioning the infrastructure and Ansible for configuring the servers
  • I also used GitHub for version control and Jenkins for automating the migration process
  • By utilizing these tools, I was able to complete the migration with minimal downtime and no data loss, resulting in a successful migration.
