Cloud Experience (AWS Ongoing)

• Successfully migrated the SmartVault infrastructure from an on-prem datacenter environment to the AWS cloud environment in 8 months.
• Interfaced with cross-functional team of developers and technical support professionals to solve customer-facing issues and improve application performance.
• Automated and implemented backup and recovery procedures for backend systems that resulted in zero-downtime disaster recovery.
• Designed and provisioned AWS Infrastructure using OpenVPN, VPC, Application Load balancers, Security Groups, Route53, s3, IAM roles and profiles using AWS Lambda and CloudFormation templates.
• Spearheaded quality control measures to minimize downtime upon infrastructure updates to all AWS environments - development, staging and production.
• Implemented blue/green deployments to provision new code releases as part of our SDLC process using Codebuild, Codedeploy, Codepipeline and CloudFormation.
• Microservices: Containerized TeamCity (on-prem) build server using CloudEndure and Cloudformation
• Monitoring: Utilized ELK Stack and CloudWatch for responsive analytical troubleshooting and APM monitoring of clustered environments and autoscaling EC2/ECS services
• Automation/Scripting: Automation-first approach. Utilized SSM (Bash/Powershell), AWS Lambda (NodeJS) and CloudFormation for infrastructure updates, scheduled maintenance jobs and CloudWatch alerting
• Security: Implemented AWS SSO and AWS WAF to analyze and blacklist/whitelist requests based on OWASP standards
• Maintained industry standard operational control, security and an integrated audit trail using the AWS CIS framework.
• Cost Optimization: Investigated and implemented AWS cost saving measures to cut down roughly $10,000 in EC2, ECS, Elasticsearch and S3 costs
• Version Control: Utilized Bitbucket for pull requests, pull reviews, tracking and committing code

On-Prem Experience

• Monitoring (Nagios): Created and utilized custom Nagios checks/scripts for system monitoring
• Configuration Management: Used Puppet to manage and automate UNIX and Windows systems Puppet: Written several modules and manifests to manage and maintain stateless operating system tasks and configurations
• Infrastructure: Built, tested, and improved preproduction & production environments using Citrix XenServer
• pfSense: Provided continuous network and security monitoring of traffic as well as investigating and implementing the most efficient routing and firewall rules for corporate and datacenter networks
• Release Management: Scheduled, planned, and managed product rollouts
• Database Management: Configured and administered MySQL slave and master database nodes to support master-slave replication
• Version Control: Used Mercurial to track and record all changes to code for future reference

CLI Guru

• Tasked with performing automated remote installs of Linux servers using Kickstart and bash scripting. Troubleshot, backup and partition disks – Standard partition, RAID and LVM – in high availability environments.

• Engineered and administered O&G (oilfield) drilling operations
