   CI/CD & Tooling o Automated Harness CI/CD pipelines (TeamCity migration), reducing deployment errors 40% and enabling 50+ daily deployments; integrated on-prem Git → GitHub Cloud and JFrog Artifactory, slashing build times 25%. o Transitioned DataDog → Dynatrace for 50+ AWS ECS/EKS microservices, boosting incident detection (MTTD) 40% and cutting monitoring costs 25% via AI-driven observability. AWS Cloud & IaC o Deployed containerized apps on ECS/EKS with ECR vulnerability scanning, reducing runtime issues 30%; migrated EC2 → serverless Lambda, cutting costs 35%. o Automated AWS provisioning (VPC, EC2, API Gateway) via Terraform/CloudFormation, slashing environment setup from days to hours. Serverless & APIs o Built RESTful APIs (AWS API Gateway + Lambda) with OIDC auth, handling 10K+ RPM; orchestrated event-driven workflows (SQS/SNS), cutting latency 50%. Security & Networking o Architected SOC2-compliant VPCs (NACLs, VPN peering), reducing attack surface 60%; automated security group updates via Python/Boto3. Cost & Performance o Optimized AWS spend 20% via EC2 rightsizing, auto-scaling, and Lambda cold-start fixes; reduced ECS Fargate task startup 45% via Docker optimizations. Automation & DevOps o Authored Python scripts for log analysis, resource cleanup, and Lambda optimization, saving 15+ hours/month. o Configured cross-account IAM roles and EKS RBAC, enforcing least-privilege access. Monitoring & Collaboration o Centralized EKS/API Gateway logs with CloudWatch, accelerating root-cause analysis; resolved Harness pipeline bottlenecks, reducing rollbacks 25%. Tech Stack: AWS (ECS, EKS, Lambda, VPC), Terraform, Python/Boto3, Docker, Kubernetes, Harness, Dynatrace. Impact: Delivered 35% cost savings, 50% faster deployments, and 60% enhanced security across 50+ microservices.
