DevOps Engineer with 5+ years of experience supporting large-scale production systems in regulated banking and fintech environments. Specialized in CI/CD automation, Kubernetes platforms, and AWS infrastructure, delivering and operating enterprise-grade microservices with a strong focus on reliability, security, observability, and compliance. Hands-on experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines with GitLab CI and Jenkins, managing containerized workloads on Kubernetes (Amazon EKS, OpenShift), and implementing Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Ansible. Proven ability to work in complex, compliance-driven environments, collaborating closely with engineering, QA, and product teams to ensure stable and secure production operations.
- Supported a large-scale banking platform as a DevOps Engineer on a contract engagement.
- Maintained and enhanced CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI and Jenkins supporting 10+ containerized microservices across production and non-production environments.
- Supported Kubernetes workloads across EKS and OpenShift clusters using Helm for consistent deployments.
- Implemented infrastructure changes using Terraform (VPC, IAM, compute resources) following security and compliance standards.
- Assisted with monitoring, observability, and incident response using Prometheus, Grafana, AWS CloudWatch, and centralized logging.
- Collaborated closely with development, QA, and product teams, documenting processes and changes in Jira and Confluence.
- Supported and improved production systems in a regulated banking environment, focusing on CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes platforms, and AWS infrastructure.
- Designed, built, and maintained CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI and Jenkins, enabling regular deployments for 10+ containerized microservices across production and non-production environments.
- Developed and customized Helm charts to deploy applications to production-grade Kubernetes clusters (OpenShift, Amazon EKS), ensuring consistency, security, and scalability.
- Built and optimized Docker images for Node.js and Java applications, improving build performance and maintainability of production services.
- Automated server provisioning and application configuration using Ansible (Apache, PostgreSQL, Redis), ensuring repeatable and reliable infrastructure setup.
- Provisioned and managed AWS infrastructure using Terraform (VPC, EC2, S3, IAM), following Infrastructure as Code best practices in a regulated financial environment.
- Implemented centralized monitoring and logging with Prometheus, Grafana, and the ELK stack, improving observability and incident response.
- Collaborated with developers, QA, and product teams in Agile/Scrum processes, documenting infrastructure and workflows in Jira and Confluence.
