Curriculum vitae.

Associate DevOps Engineer · Real-Time Rail

• — Managed ArgoCD / OpenShift GitOps across 12 clusters, with 2 management instances each governing a set of datacenters, enabling GitOps-driven delivery for C&S and Exchange workloads across 16 environments.
• — Standardized and maintained CI/CD pipelines across 16 environments, including snapshot and release pipelines for C&S teams and per-environment CD pipelines for both C&S and Exchange.
• — Migrated and rebuilt CloudBees CI Jenkins from IBM Cloud to on-premises OpenShift using CasC, deploying in an active-passive configuration across 2 management clusters.
• — Deployed and configured Kong Gateway (Control Plane and Data Plane) on OpenShift; built a custom plugin image pipeline; implemented Kong Deck config-as-code for version-controlled API infrastructure.
• — Deployed ActiveMQ (AMQ) Broker via OpenShift operators, configuring Queue Federation and Mirroring across pre-production and production for cross-site message persistence.
• — Installed and configured EDB PostgreSQL with synchronous commits between datacenters to achieve RPO=0 across production environments.
• — Deployed CockroachDB as pods across the cluster fleet as part of the distributed data layer.
• — Integrated LDAP (Red Hat Directory Server) with Artifactory, AMQ, Kong Gateway, and EDB PostgreSQL for centralized identity and access management.
• — Engineered a Zero-Trust network model using OpenShift Network Policies for microsegmentation and Istio Service Mesh to enforce mTLS across all in-mesh microservices.
• — Installed HashiCorp Vault operator across all clusters, configuring Kubernetes auth methods and managing 17 namespaces with automated certificate lifecycle management via the PKI engine.
• — Deployed F5 CIS operators to provision Virtual IPs for platform components, collaborating with CGI's network team to define and validate network flows.
• — Instrumented all platform components with Dynatrace via ActiveGate for metrics collection across the full cluster fleet.
• — Configured backups for all platform components using Nooba storage connected to the SAN.
• — Supported resiliency, performance, and functional testing — including 300 TPS load tests and 36-hour soak tests — serving as the platform layer interface between development, QA, and infrastructure teams.

Associate DevOps Engineer · Release Mgmt Remediation

• — Led a compliance-driven decommission of the Wires Services Jenkins instance, migrating CI/CD infrastructure to IBM One Pipeline (1PL) — a Tekton-based framework — across development, platform, QA, and operations teams.
• — Migrated 40+ Jenkins pipelines to IBM One Pipeline, covering PR, CI, and CD pipelines across Stage, QA, and Production.
• — Connected IBM Cloud CD instances to AWS accounts to support deployment of CloudFormation infrastructure and Lambda-based microservices.
• — Reduced pipeline execution time by up to 3× by enabling concurrent stages for code scanning, vulnerability checks, and compliance, and optimizing base image sizes.
• — Migrated base images from AWS ECR to IBM Cloud Container Registry, remediating vulnerabilities surfaced by automated scanning.
• — Implemented RBAC to enforce access control across pipeline resources.

Cloud Engineer · Student-On-Call

• — Migrated 800+ platform base images from JFrog to IBM Cloud Container Registry, supporting the platform team's AMI build pipeline.
• — Provisioned EKS add-ons using Terraform to enhance existing Kubernetes clusters.
• — Developed a CloudWatch-based log monitoring system to detect critical patterns and trigger Instana alerts.
• — Enabled ELB access logs and implemented S3 cross-region replication for disaster recovery and compliance.

Cloud Engineer Intern

• — Automated IBM Cloud Toolchain provisioning with Terraform, reducing setup time by 80% — automation later reused as the foundation for the Wires Services CI/CD migration.
• — Developed CI/CD pipelines for Terraform projects using IBM Toolchain, improving deployment reliability and productivity.
• — Migrated Terraform CI/CD workflows from Jenkins to IBM Toolchain, reducing deployment times by over 20%.
• — Integrated Mend (WhiteSource) for automated code compliance and security scanning across pipelines.

Cloud Engineer

• — Implemented Azure Blob Storage lifecycle policies, reducing access costs by over 20%.
• — Built an Azure Function to automate ParkMyCloud credential rotation, replacing a manual secret management process.
• — Developed an Azure Function to forward Azure Health Alerts to Microsoft Teams for real-time observability across all resources.
• — Led development of an internal chatbot using Azure OpenAI and RAG architecture — adopted beyond PoC — enabling secure, role-based knowledge retrieval with team-level access controls.

Software Developer

• — Migrated a legacy MySQL database to PostgreSQL, optimizing queries to improve search and response times.
• — Integrated Redis caching for Zotero API calls, reducing redundant API calls and improving page load performance.
• — Built and optimized an admin frontend using client-side rendering and lazy data fetching.
• — Developed reusable pagination components to standardize UI/UX across multiple views.

Cloud Engineer

• — Built Kibana observability dashboards on an ELK stack to monitor node health and log ingestion performance across 20–50 GB of daily log volume.
• — Designed AWS Lambda pipelines to stream logs from S3, CloudWatch, and CloudTrail into OpenSearch for centralized log aggregation.
• — Integrated Kinesis to optimize log streaming throughput, reducing Lambda invocation costs by 10%.
• — Refactored and tuned Lambda functions, cutting tail latency by 20% and preventing throttling through SQS optimization.

Software Developer

• — Refactored front-end components with standardized Vuetify components, eliminating code duplication.
• — Configured Vite and front-end code splitting, cutting load times by 26% and bundle size by 72%.
• — Optimized Django ORM queries with lazy loading to improve API response times.
• — Dockerized the application into microservices, streamlining development workflows and deployment.
