WORK HISTORY
Devops Engineer @Conga
Implemented Helm-based standardisation across production EKS clusters to manage microservices deployment lifecycles, resulting in a 25% improvement in resource efficiency and consistent rollout patterns across all services.• Implemented ArgoCD GitOps pipelines integrated with Jenkins and GitHub Actions to automate application deployments and security scanning, eliminating manual promotion steps and reducing deployment errors.• Implemented a full-stack observability platform using OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana to provide end-to-end tracing and alerting across distributed services, reducing Mean Time to Detection (MTTD) by 40%.• Implemented Istio service mesh across EKS workloads to enforce mTLS between microservices and gain granular observability into east-west traffic, improving service reliability.• Implemented Doppler as a centralised secrets orchestration layer across multi-account AWS Organisations to enforce zero-trust configuration management, eliminating hardcoded credentials from all repositories.• Mentored junior DevOps engineers on Terraform module design and Kubernetes best practices, conducting code reviews and pairing sessions that reduced onboarding time and improved team-wide deployment confidence.• Balanced 70% high-velocity feature delivery with 30% Tier-3 production support, maintaining platform stability without compromising release cadence.
