MTTD Reduction
  • Managed production Kubernetes workloads for multiple cloud-native microservices on Linux, achieving 99.9% uptime via automated health checks, rolling updates, and self-healing mechanisms
  • Reduced average deployment time by 35% by optimizing GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines with parallelized build stages and automated testing
  • Built Prometheus and Grafana observability stack, cutting Mean Time to Detection (MTTD) by 40% and improving incident response time
  • Designed Kubernetes HPA policies and Helm configuration management, reducing infrastructure cost by 25% through dynamic resource scaling
  • Troubleshoot production issues including WebSocket failures, OOM memory leaks, and backend service crashes using log analysis
  • Managed Apache Tomcat servers, Samba file sharing, FTP services, and server configurations for high availability

  • Architected a production GitOps platform on a bare-metal 2-node Kubernetes cluster managing 13 microservices with 99.9% uptime via self-healing, rolling updates, and pod anti-affinity
  • Integrated RabbitMQ for robust asynchronous microservice communication; managed MySQL and PostgreSQL databases with automated disaster recovery protocols
  • Implemented App-of-Apps pattern with Helm templating to dynamically generate ArgoCD Applications; enforced infra dependency ordering via sync waves
  • Built 5-stage GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline with auto-incremented Docker and Helm versioning, Trivy container scanning, and OCI chart push to ECR
  • Configured Traefik v3 for SSL/TLS termination, JWT authentication middleware, rate-limiting, and security headers; MetalLB for bare-metal load balancing
  • Enforced policy-as-code via OPA Gatekeeper (6 policies) and eliminated secrets from Git using Sealed Secrets
  • Automated daily database backups to S3 (CronJob 2 AM UTC); wrote idempotent Bash scripts for reproducible cluster provisioning
