1. Aws Devops Devsecops Architect

   IBM

   Oct 2021 — Present · Pune, IN

   At IBM, I architected and modernized enterprise-scale AWS DevSecOps ecosystems to enhance automation, scalability, and compliance across multi-account environments. I designed secure, high-performance cloud architectures leveraging EC2, EKS, Lambda, and CloudFormation, and implemented centralized identity and access management using AWS IAM, Organizations, and SSO integrated with Okta for federated authentication and role-based governance. I developed resilient network solutions with VPC, Transit Gateway, and PrivateLink to strengthen security, segmentation, and hybrid connectivity. I streamlined CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, GitHub, GitLab, ArgoCD, and CodePipeline, embedding automated testing, security validation, and compliance checks. By leveraging Terraform, Terragrunt, and Ansible, I enforced Infrastructure-as-Code for standardized, version-controlled provisioning. I implemented GitOps-based zero-downtime deployments using Docker, Kubernetes (EKS), Helm, and ArgoCD, and enhanced scalability with Jenkins auto-scaling and ephemeral agents. I improved security posture with IAM-based RBAC, AWS Secrets Manager, and Vault for credential protection and key rotation. Additionally, I developed Python-based automation and RESTful APIs using FastAPI, Lambda, and API Gateway, integrating GraphQL for real-time data queries and Apigee for secure, policy-driven API management. I established observability frameworks using CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and ELK for proactive monitoring and anomaly detection, and executed disaster recovery and cost-optimization strategies through cross-region replication, AWS Budgets, and Cost Explorer. These initiatives, aligned with the AWS Well-Architected Framework and CIS Benchmarks, strengthened governance, operational excellence, and DevSecOps maturity across IBM’s cloud platforms.
