• Architected, build, and automated a CICD pipeline in GCP and AWS environment using Jenkins and Argo CD in k8s clusters following security and best practices.
• Provisioned resources in multiple environments using IAC (Terraform & CloudFormation) for AWS & GCP.
• Consulted with cross-functional leaders to gather requirements and translate business needs into technology solutions using the SOW and the RDD.
• Created Terraform modules for consistent infrastructure provisioning.
• Set up and build a CI/CD Jenkins Master integration Pipeline that runs in a single VM Instance (EC2 Instance) with it associated tools running as Docker Containers to effectively maximize cost while operating in a highly available and secured environment.
• Led the team in the setting up of 3 tier Architectures and effectively integrated the MySQL Database running in the Database tier to the App tier for internal communication between the Web tier, App tier, and the Backend tier.
• Developed one-click Jenkins pipelines for platform deployment that integrated the SCM- GitHub, SonarQube, Maven, Nexus and Slack for events notification.
• Deployed microservices Applications in GCP and AWS cloud environments using Docker images and Docker containers.
• Automated deployments, scaling and application management by deploying using Kubernetes clusters in AWS EKS and GCP GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine).
• Wrote Manifests that create Kubernetes objects like pods, deployments, Ingress services of type HTTP and HTTPS using FrontendConfig, Config Maps & Secrets, Persistent Volume Claim etc.

• Designed Git-flow Branching strategies and implemented that workflow on GitHub to align with release schedule from Release branch, Dev branch to Prod branch.
• Successfully Integrated Load Balancer backend service to Managed Instance Group (MIC) and Domain Name Service (DNS) to successfully expose Applications running within Containers and Kubernetes pods to external user bases.
• Created and managed different resources and services using SDK in GCP effectively utilizing gsutile and gcloud.
• Set up a company's Organization Hierarchy structure, isolating and segregating various resources and services under different Folders and Projects for easy management and control of resources within GCP cloud environment.
• Deploy a static website using GitHub Actions and hosted application files in an S3 Bucket for the Development team within an environment.Created Dockerfiles, Docker Images and Containers for microservice Applications and for 3 tier Application deployment.
• Assisted in migration process from On-premises to the Cloud and from AWS environment to GCP and personally worked on Servers/Application migration from AWS to GCP Platform leveraging the MTVM toolset.
• Developed explicit High-Level Designed Documents (HDD) and perfectly detailed Low-Level Designed Documents (LDD) for clear understanding of architectures and to relay the technical environments to the Business partners, critical stakeholders and to non-technical stakeholders.

· Set up and incorporated Trivy as a SAST tool to successfully scan and test Docker Images to ensure that all Docker Applications deployed are free from all attacks.

· Leveraged multiple deployments using AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) Pipeline native built tool to implement the ECS-EC2 based cluster and successfully set up and deploy Applications using the ECS-Faregate based cluster.

· Effectively carried out deployments using IAC – CloudFormation and Terraform to

provision CI/CD Pipeline infrastructure while using YAML to develop Buildspec Files

· Configured Load balancers outside clusters to effectively redistribute incoming traffic into respective Kubernetes pods running within those clusters.

· Worked together with Developers to build, deploy and orchestrate containers using AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) CI/CD pipeline.

· I equally set up and integrated IAST-Contrast Security tool to secure all running Applications by securely detecting all vulnerabilities to provide real-time protection.

· Architected and implemented Pipelines using GitHub, CodeCommit, CodeBuild and

CodePipeline while leveraging the ECR as native artifactory tool for image storage.

· Successfully created Dockerfiles, Docker images, Docker containers and Kubernetes objects to realize a microservice Application environment.

· Used Jira to plan, track tasks, and follow up while generating metrics and Reports.

· Leveraged SonarQube as a SAST tool to effectively scan Application source codes.

· Set up and deployed a microservice Application on GCP using App Engine in a Standard Environment making using of Blue/Green deployment after all AB testing.

· Orchestrated authorization, authentication and identity access management of clients' environments using IAM identities, Roles and Policies.

· Set up and used Route53 routing policy as a disaster recovery framework to put in place

a highly available faults tolerance architecture that is highly resilience and self-healing.

· Worked extensively on different aspects of Application deployment making use of version control tools like GitHub to manage different releases and their deployments.

· Build and configured a virtual data center in the AWS platform by provisioning VPC networks, with public and private subnets, security Groups, IG, NAT Gateway, Nacls, Route Tables, WAF, LB while enabling encryption on base 64 encode.

· Provisioned various compute services and databases using AWS resources such as

EC2 instances, creating RDS, Security Groups and Auto-Scaling.

· Designed and deployed scalable cloud infrastructure using AWS CDK (Python), enabling repeatable and version-controlled infrastructure as code (IaC) across multiple environments.

· Developed automation scripts using AWS SDK (Boto3/Python), integrating with services such as S3, and iam roles for dynamic resource management.

· Reduced cloud provisioning time considerably by migrating manual CloudFormation templates to reusable AWS CDK stacks with environment-based configuration support.

· Leveraged Ansible as a deployment and configuration tool to tag and patch several resources within an environment.

· Setup and build a Jenkins CICD pipeline for infrastructure deployment following best

practices to deploy resources with the use of IAC-Terraform.
