Zoom June 2024 – Present

DevOps Engineer

Engineered CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and Git, enabling repeatable build promotion for microservices, faster deployments, and reduced release risk across environments securely.

Automated infrastructure provisioning via Terraform and CloudFormation, enforcing tagging and IAM conventions, improving consistency, speeding environment setup, and strengthening operational compliance for regulated workloads.

Optimized Kubernetes workloads on EKS with Helm and resource tuning, stabilizing latency under load, improving autoscaling behavior, and supporting reliable traffic spikes during releases.

Configured Linux server baselines using Ansible, patch automation, and secret rotation, reducing configuration drift across fleets, improving audit readiness, and minimizing manual maintenance effort.

Integrated Prometheus and Grafana dashboards with alert routing into Slack and PagerDuty, accelerating triage workflows, improving SLO visibility, and reducing incident resolution time significantly

Developed and maintained web-based applications using Visual Basic and IIS, enhancing user experience and reducing page load times by 25%.

Automated system monitoring and maintenance tasks using Perl and Linux Systems Admin/Engineer tools, resulting in a 40% reduction in downtime incidents.

Managed version control and code collaboration using Subversion, improving team efficiency and code integration by 30% in a DevOps environment.

CAPGEMINI July 2021 – July 2023

SENIOR ANALYST / SOFTWARE ENGINEER

Standardized Azure DevOps pipelines and YAML templates, enforcing branch policies and approvals, improving traceability, and ensuring predictable deployments across multiple application teams under governance.

Orchestrated containerized services on AKS with ArgoCD GitOps workflows, enabling environment parity, automated rollbacks, and consistent configuration promotion between stages and regions reliably securely.

Hardened access controls with Azure AD, RBAC, OAuth2, and SSO integrations, reducing unauthorized changes, improving authentication reliability, and meeting strict compliance requirements for production.

Streamlined operational tasks through Bash and PowerShell automation for log collection, backups, and cleanup, reducing toil, improving MTTR, and freeing engineering time daily measurably.

Validated monitoring coverage across Azure Monitor, CloudWatch, and Datadog with alert tuning and runbooks, closing observability gaps, and improving incident response readiness significantly overall.

Configured and optimized Windows servers to support enterprise environments, increasing system reliability and scalability by 50%.

Conducted root-cause analysis to troubleshoot complex issues in web applications, reducing resolution time by 35% and improving service uptime.
