WORK HISTORY
Devops Engineer @JetBlue
Designed, deployed, and maintained Kubernetes clusters and Docker containers in production, ensuring 99.9% uptime across environments.• Automated infrastructure provisioning using Terraform, CloudFormation, and Ansible across AWS, Azure, and vCenter hybrid-cloud environments, accelerating deployment speed by ~60%, reducing inconsistencies by 30%, and improving overall system reliability and scalability.• Developed modular CloudFormation stacks for provisioning AWS infrastructure (VPCs, EC2, RDS, IAM), utilizing nested templates and parameterization to enable environment-specific deployments in minutes with enhanced flexibility, consistency, and version control.• Built and managed CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and Azure DevOps, reducing deployment lead-time by 50% and eliminating 65% of manual release errors, while ensuring high pipeline reliability, consistency, and faster delivery across engineering teams.• Administered core AWS services—EC2, S3, RDS, IAM, ELB, and Auto Scaling—architecting custom VPCs and secure IAM roles, improving infrastructure performance and compliance, while enhancing scalability, uptime, and cost-efficiency in production cloud environments.• Created AWS Launch Templates standardizing EC2 configurations (custom AMIs, instance types, security groups, IAM roles, and user-data), reducing provisioning drift by 80% while improving deployment speed, consistency, and security across multiple environments.• Integrated Launch Templates with Auto Scaling Groups to enable EC2 scaling with <2-minute response times and 99.9% service availability.• Applied version control to Launch Templates, enabling rollback-ready deployments and cutting change-related downtime by 70%.• Orchestrated application deployments to DEV/QA/STAGE/PROD environments, reducing release cycle time from hours to minutes and minimizing disruptions, while standardizing processes and improving cross-environment consistency and stakeholder confidence.
