DevOps Engineer transitioning from a Python backend foundation to high-availability infrastructure. Specializes in architecting zero-trust AWS serverless ecosystems, enforcing immutable CI/CD delivery pipelines, and applying Shift-Left SRE quality gates to strictly reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and Mean Time To Recovery (MTTR).
- Cloud Infrastructure & Security: AWS (IAM, S3, API Gateway, DynamoDB, Lambda), OIDC Identity Federation, Zero-Trust Network Segmentation.
- Pipeline Automation & DevSecOps: GitHub Actions, Multi-Stage Docker Builds, Container Hardening (PoLP, Non-Root), Semantic Validation (
ajv-cli,yamllint). - FinOps & Observability: AWS CloudWatch, Budget Hard-Capping (βΉ500 INR/mo limit enforcement), Immutable Infrastructure Patterns.
- Backend Execution: Python, Node.js, FastAPI, Django, PostgreSQL.
- Architecture: Serverless AWS delivery pipeline enforcing blast radius containment via OIDC identity federation, completely deprecating vulnerable, long-lived IAM keys.
- Outcome: Guaranteed flawless artifact hygiene and zero-downtime delivery utilizing idempotent S3 state synchronizations and automated CloudFront edge network invalidations.
- Architecture: Multi-tier Docker bridge networking β full Kubernetes migration (11 manifests, dedicated namespace, ClusterIP/NodePort topology, PVC-backed PostgreSQL, ConfigMap schema injection). Zero plaintext credentials across all manifests via secretKeyRef. Validated locally on k3d, targeting k3s on OCI ARM64.
- Outcome: Slashed production Docker artifacts by 90% (3.5 GB β 364 MB). Property-based manifest test suite (6 Hypothesis tests) enforces structural correctness shift-left β no live cluster required to gate correctness.
Completed local Kubernetes deployment of the Inventory System on k3d β 11 manifests, zero-plaintext credentials, property-based manifest validation. Next phase: provisioning OCI ARM64 VM (Always Free A1.Flex, 4 OCPUs / 24GB RAM), installing k3s, and deploying all four services to the live cluster. CI/CD pipeline for automated image build β GHCR push β kubectl apply is the subsequent gate.
