   Built a multi-account AWS landing zone with Terraform (VPC, subnets, TGW, shared services, IAM roles, GuardDuty, Config) and policy-as-code gates, cutting environment spin-up from weeks to under one day while improving baseline security and auditability. Designed production-grade EKS with managed node groups, IRSA, Cluster Autoscaler/Karpenter, and multi-AZ topology; wrapped app deployments with Helm and Argo CD to enable GitOps and declarative rollbacks, reducing deployment lead time by 60%. Implemented end-to-end CI/CD in GitHub Actions (build, unit/integration tests, container scan, IaC plan/apply with approvals) and Jenkins for legacy services; standardized pipeline templates that dropped failure rates 35% and boosted release frequency 3×. Embedded DevSecOps controls: OPA/Conftest in PR checks, Trivy/Grype for image scans, tfsec/Checkov for IaC, SAST/DAST gates, and secrets management via AWS Secrets Manager/Parameter Store; materially reduced critical vulnerabilities before prod. Built full-stack observability with Prometheus + Grafana, Loki, and OpenTelemetry traces shipped to Datadog; defined golden signals and SLOs, which brought MTTD down 40% and MTTR down 30% across two core platforms. Drove FinOps: tagging standards, cost allocation reports, rightsizing EC2/RDS/EKS, S3 lifecycle policies, and purchase strategy (Savings Plans/RIs), trimming steady-state cloud spend 22% without performance regression. Automated blue-green and canary strategies using ALB weighted target groups and Argo Rollouts; enabled safe 10% traffic canaries with automatic rollback on SLO breaches, protecting customer experience during high-risk releases. Orchestrated DR for a tier-1 service using cross-region S3 replication, RDS read replicas, and Route 53 health checks; ran quarterly game-days to validate RTO ≤ 30 min and RPO ≤ 5 min. Mentored dev squads on container best practices, resource requests/limits, and troubleshooting; created runbooks.
