2019 — 2022
India
• Architected and deployed secure, high-availability AWS environments for a financial services platform, using EC2 Auto Scaling Groups, Application Load Balancers, and VPC networking — maintaining 99%+ uptime during quarter-end trading peaks.
• Automated multi-tier application provisioning using Terraform and Ansible, reducing environment setup from ~4 hours to under 30 minutes and eliminating configuration drift.
• Built and maintained CI/CD pipelines in Jenkins and GitHub Actions, integrated with Maven for Java microservices and SonarQube for code quality checks — lowering deployment rollbacks by ~40%.
• Migrated legacy banking services to Docker microservices, deploying on Amazon EKS for zero-downtime rolling upgrades and faster production rollback.
• Implemented proactive monitoring using AWS CloudWatch, Splunk, and ELK Stack, reducing MTTR from 90 min to under 50 min for priority-1 incidents.
• Designed granular AWS IAM roles/policies and implemented AWS Config, Security Hub, GuardDuty to maintain PCI-DSS/SOX audit readiness and remediate vulnerabilities automatically.
• Implemented AWS Backup, S3 lifecycle policies, and cross-region replication to ensure RPO of <4 hours for critical financial workloads.
• Managed complex VPC architectures (subnets, route tables, NAT gateways, security groups) to isolate sensitive client data in compliance with financial industry security guidelines.
• Collaborated with developers to introduce CloudFront CDN and ElastiCache for real-time data applications, improving response times by ~20%.
• Created detailed runbooks, architecture diagrams, and SOPs, and actively participated in sprint planning and release readiness to align infrastructure deliverables with client go-live dates.
