Professional Summary

Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps Engineer with 4+ years of combined engineering, consulting, and digital operations experience. I work mainly with AWS, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, ECS/Fargate, Linux, and CI/CD automation.

My focus is on making infrastructure repeatable and deployments easier to operate. I work across infrastructure-as-code, containerized workloads, automation, troubleshooting, reliability, security, and cost-aware cloud operations.

Engineering Projects

Selected platform engineering, Kubernetes, SRE, cloud infrastructure, automation, and observability projects built to demonstrate practical engineering work.

PROJECT 01
KUBERNETES & PLATFORM ENGINEERING

PlatformOps-Lab

GitHub ->
PROJECT OVERVIEW

A local Kubernetes environment I built to practice platform engineering workflows without relying on a paid cloud environment.

ARCHITECTURE

Terraform provisions the platform foundation while Kind runs the Kubernetes cluster. Kustomize handles environment configuration, Helm packages workloads, and GitHub Actions validates the delivery workflow.

ENGINEERING WORKFLOW
Terraform ->Kind ->Kubernetes ->Helm ->Kustomize ->GitHub Actions
OBSERVABILITY
-Prometheus metrics
-Grafana dashboards
-Loki log aggregation
-Application visibility
ENGINEERING VALUE
+Reusable Kubernetes deployment patterns
+Infrastructure-as-Code workflow
+Integrated observability stack
+Local platform engineering laboratory

PROJECT 02
PLATFORM ENGINEERING

LocalCloud Control Plane

GitHub ->
PROJECT OVERVIEW

A local platform engineering project for managing services, deployments, events, and simulated operational state through a small control-plane API.

ARCHITECTURE

A React + Vite dashboard communicates with a Node.js/Express API. Service management, orchestration, lifecycle events, logging, metrics simulation, and state persistence are separated into clear platform components.

ENGINEERING WORKFLOW
React Dashboard ->REST API ->Service Manager ->Orchestrator ->Lifecycle Events ->State Persistence
OBSERVABILITY
-Service lifecycle events
-Deployment state tracking
-Operational event logging
-Metrics simulation
ENGINEERING VALUE
+Control-plane architecture
+Separation of platform and application concerns
+Runs completely locally
+Foundation for Kubernetes-style extensions
TECHNOLOGY STACK

PROJECT 03
SRE & CHAOS ENGINEERING

ChaosForge

GitHub ->
PROJECT OVERVIEW

A local reliability engineering lab where I introduce controlled failures into containerized workloads and measure detection, recovery, MTTR, SLO compliance, and error-budget impact.

ARCHITECTURE

PowerShell orchestrates controlled failure experiments across Docker workloads. FastAPI provides the workload and API layer while Prometheus and Grafana capture and visualize reliability behaviour.

ENGINEERING WORKFLOW
Chaos Injection ->Failure Detection ->Incident Creation ->Recovery ->MTTR Measurement ->SLO Evaluation
OBSERVABILITY
-Prometheus metrics
-Grafana dashboards
-Incident history
-MTTR tracking
ENGINEERING VALUE
+Turns reliability assumptions into experiments
+Measures recovery performance
+Supports SLO and error-budget analysis
+Provides a local SRE laboratory

CLOUD OBSERVABILITY

CloudPulse

GitHub ->
PROJECT OVERVIEW

A cloud operations project focused on collecting metrics, detecting anomalies, exposing health information, and turning infrastructure signals into something easier to investigate.

ARCHITECTURE

Containerized FastAPI services ingest and process operational metrics, persist data in PostgreSQL, and expose REST APIs for dashboards and alerting integrations.

ENGINEERING WORKFLOW
Metric Ingestion ->Processing ->Anomaly Detection ->Health Insights ->PostgreSQL ->REST API
OBSERVABILITY
-Metric ingestion
-Health signals

// SECURITY_PRACTICES

Security-First Architecture

Security is built into every infrastructure decision — not added as an afterthought.

[IAM]

IAM Least Privilege

Every Lambda, ECS task, and CI/CD pipeline gets a dedicated IAM role with only the permissions it needs. No wildcard actions, no shared credentials.

[SEC]

Secrets Management

Sensitive values stored in AWS Secrets Manager and SSM Parameter Store. Never hardcoded. Auto-rotated where supported. Referenced by ARN in Terraform.

[VPC]

Network Isolation

Private subnets for compute and data layers. Public subnets only for ALB. Security groups follow zero-trust model. VPC flow logs enabled.

[TLS]

HTTPS/TLS Everywhere

ACM certificates on all ALB listeners. S3 buckets enforce HTTPS via bucket policies. CloudFront enforces TLS 1.2+ minimum.

[CI]

Secure CI/CD Workflows

GitHub Actions secrets for credentials. OIDC federation eliminates static keys. Docker image scanning before ECR push. Signed commits enforced.

[ENC]

Encryption at Rest

RDS encryption enabled by default. S3 server-side encryption (SSE-S3 or SSE-KMS). DynamoDB encryption using AWS managed keys.

INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY CHECKLIST
✓IAM roles - no root access
✓MFA enabled on all accounts
✓VPC flow logs active
✓CloudTrail enabled
✓S3 public access blocked
✓Encryption at rest enabled
✓Secrets Manager for credentials
✓Security groups reviewed
✓Patch management in place
✓Dependency scanning in CI/CD
