- Planned and provisioned optimised infrastructure on Google Cloud and AWS - VMs, buckets, DNS, managed databases, GKE clusters.
- Architected a partner cloud-based EMR (based on OpenMRS) on Hetzner baremetal servers and automated creation of customer VMs using Virsh, Qemu with Bash and Ansible.
- Centralized sprawled Helm charts across dozens of GitLab repos into standardized charts stored in GitLab's Helm registry.
- Implemented company-wide standards for application deployment and lifecycles.
- Spearheaded an incremental upgrade of legacy systems from VMs to container-based workloads to both GKE and EKS.
- Conducted trainings for developers on new technologies and changes across several fields e.g. Kubernetes basics, DevSecOps etc.
- Oversaw information security practices for both developers (OWASP, CVE scanning etc) and non-technical teams by training them on cybersecurity - avoiding suspicious websites, verifying email senders, social engineering etc.
- Reduced overall expenditure of cloud costs and SaaS subscriptions by USD 4,500 monthly.
- Migrated access to our fleet of OpenSSH servers to using Teleport SSH for better secured developer access to servers, PostgreSQL databases and Kubernetes clusters.
