●Solution can create and update Lambda functions, triggers like API Gateway, SNS and configurations.

●The AWS lambda deployment solution aims to enforce the rules so the lambda code is purple flock compliant. Implemented using Python for scripting and Jenkins.

●AWS Lambda deployment solution built to abide by the rules, that every code which is pushed is reviewed, code is stored in the repository/have backup, is tested before moved to production, and production deployment is manually approved.

●Created solution for bulk and parallel lambda deployment with canary and rollback features.

●Very strong in debugging and root cause analysis.

●Experience working with data protection strategies and practices, like Data classification, Protection Policies, Monitoring, Encryption/Masking and Access control.
