▸ Designing and deploying Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers enabling AI assistants (Kiro IDE,

Kiro CLI, GitLab Duo, Copilot, Amazon Q) to manage CI/CD troubleshooting, code review

security scanning MR summaries and development automation, code generation and integration

testing.

▸ Built async Python MCP server with tools covering pipeline triggering, job monitoring, variable

management, and artifact retrieval — adopted by engineering teams.

▸ Architected multi-environment AWS platform using Terraform with reusable private-registry

modules, eliminating configuration drift and cutting new-environment provisioning from days to

under few hours.

▸ Designed and operated Kubernetes (EKS) platforms supporting containerized microservices with

auto-scaling, pod disruption budgets, and network policies for enterprise security compliance.

▸ Built GitLab CI/CD pipelines with integrated Terraform, tfsec, Trivy, and pre-commit scanning,

enforcing security and compliance gates across all infrastructure changes.

▸ Implemented centralized observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger, OpenTelemetry)

reducing mean time to detect (MTTD) for production incidents.

▸ Led a knowledge-transfer initiative with a junior engineering team, guiding them through the

process of importing existing AWS resources into Terraform, authoring reusable infrastructure

modules, and delivering hands-on training to accelerate team adoption of IaC standards.

▸ Supported AWS infrastructure operations across multi-region environments, contributing to

reliability and cost optimization initiatives.

▸ Developed Python and Bash automation scripts replacing manual operational tasks, saving ~10

hours/week of engineering time.

▸ Contributed to cloud migration initiatives by implementing Terraform IaC, improving repeatability

and reducing manual provisioning errors.

▸ Collaborated cross-functionally with development teams to improve CI/CD practices and platform

reliability standards.
