AWS DevOps Engineer

Excel in working in container-based technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift) while serving as a “go-to” team player on OpenShift for creating new projects, services for load balancing, troubleshooting Pods through SSH and logs, and modification of build configs, templates, and image streams, among others.

Demonstrate proven use of Splunk for configuration and installation process. Effectively provision and manage EC2 instances to consistently meet critical application scalability requirements. Implement Microservices framework with Spring Boot, Node.JS, and OpenShift containerization platform (OCP).

Leverage use of AWS services (e.g., EC2, VPC, RDS, Cloud technologies, CloudFormation, Cloud computing, CloudWatch, CloudFront, Route53). Create an environment on AWS platform, Kafka Cluster, and Cassandra Clusters. Implement system alerts on Datadog. Configure and manage network services

Configure and deploy application packages onto the Apache Tomcat server. Implement a new ELK cluster for enterprise logging and Maintained Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana. Use Elastic Beanstalk for streamlined deployment of web applications. Install and upgrade Splunk apps and handle configurations.

Enable user to use Git and SVC by implementing Git mirror for SVN repository. Configure automation and centralized management with Ansible and Cobbler. Implement Ansible to manage servers and automate the build / configuration of new servers. Use monitoring tool Jira, triage issues, and maintain all bugs.

In process of implementing new OCR solutions – Spring Boot, OpenShift, and Microservices, and co-develop containerized applications – Docker, Spring Boot, Kubernetes, and OpenShift.

Scheduled, deployed, and managed container replicas onto a node cluster using Kubernetes, converted VM applications to Microservices, and deployed as Kubernetes-managed container.

Created Docker Slave Nodes for Jenkins using custom Docker Images and pulled them to ECR.

Consistently guided SMEs in the use of Splunk to create dashboards, reports, and alerts.

Reduced manual intervention by automating routine tasks by leveraging Lambda functions.
