Implementation of DevSecOps best practices coupled with AI and automation solutions

IT infrastructure development and optimization strategy DevOps Engineer DOMINION SYSTEMS Texas, United States June 2018 - July 2024

I built CI/CD pipelines around Jenkins, GitHub actions and GitLab for Java applications using Maven and the implementation of shared libraries, which resulted in a 20% reduction in build and deployment times.

I have also implemented CI/CD pipelines through the GitOps methodology which is based on a Git repository as a source of code sécurity and reliability for applications whose microservices are developed in several languages (Python, Go, Rubit, C++, Java, NodeJs, TypeScript, etc.).

I have acquired a solid experience in containerization of microservices architectured applications, where I containerized and secured the services of five development teams with very small dockerfiles thanks to multi-stage.

I used Trivy to scan Docker containers to ensure their security and reliability.

I pioneered the adoption of Sonarqube for static code analysis within the organization, resulting in a 20% efficiency in terms of bug and vulnerability reduction.

I have gained a solid experience with AWS services such as (IAM, VPC, EKS, Lambda, RDS, S3, KMS )

I have developed Shell and Bash scripts for of log management and processes files systems under Linux

I implemented the infrastructure as code with Terraform for the VPC infrastructure and its components (Sub- nets, Internet & NAT gateways, Ingress and Ingress Controller, LoadBalancer,..) and microservices across the Kubernetes cluster on AWS (EKS). I also did mass installs with Ansible.

I've introduced version control best practices with Git, improving collaboration and code traceability. I supported the teams in Git branching strategy and the configuration of webhooks and personnels token.

I have contributed to the training of junior DevOps engineers and other development teams in the integration of DevOps practices by carrying out PoCs (Proof of concept).

I have been facilitating regular knowledge sharing sessions on CI/CD and automation, allowing team members to take ownership of their daily workflows.

I resolved critical production incidents, maintained system availability, and minimized customer impact with immediate post-resolution documentation to improve best practices already present based on post-mortem experiences.

I was proactive in the use of tags to better identify cloud resources, which allowed for easy implementation of the FinOps policy for cost optimization.

I have good experience in the configuration of Route53 and hosted zones, where I orchestrated the integration of Route53 and ALB for the implementation of custom domains in Kubernetes in order to best secure access to the applications deployed in the cluster.

I have a good command of Kubernetes Ingress and implementation of Kubernetes Ingress for several microservices and pod troubleshooting.

I configured the Terraform remote backend with the locking mechanism for each deployment using an AWS S3 bucket and DynamoDB to secure the deployed infrastructure for multiple development teams.

I assigned permissions and roles to users and resources with IAM based on the least privilege policy and specific business needs.

I have a good background in implementing FinOps policies on AWS through cost optimization, resource sizing, budget tracking, and spend analysis using tools like AWS Cost Explorer, Budgets, and Trusted Advisor.

I have performed multi-cloud deployments across AWS, Azure and GCP infrastructures using Terraform, ensuring consistency, scalability, and automation through Infrastructure as Code (IaC) best practices MAIN PROJECTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS
