ABOUT ME.

I'm a freelance DevOps and Cloud Engineer specializing in AWS infrastructure, CI/CD automation, and containerized deployments. I help startups and growing teams ship faster, scale reliably, and stop worrying about their infrastructure.

What I work with: Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS (VPC, EC2, ECS, Lambda, RDS, S3, ALB, API Gateway, Route53, CloudFront, CloudWatch, IAM) · IaC Tool: Terraform · Containers & Automation: Docker · GitHub Actions · CI/CD Pipelines · ECR

PROJECT 01. Scalable INFRASTRUCTURE

This project implements a scalable and highly available web infrastructure on AWS. Strategy: This system uses horizontal scaling to handle variable traffic loads efficiently. Scaling Method: Target Tracking Scaling

PROJECT 02. Secure INFRA

This project implements a production-style secure cloud infrastructure on AWS using Terraform. It solves problems such as public access to EC2 and RDS, Storage of secrets in secrets manager and Least Privilege IAM Roles. Defense in depth is enforced by multiple firewalls.

PROJECT 03. Smart Compute Architecture

This project demonstrates a modern cloud-native architecture using a hybrid compute model consisting of AWS Lambda, ECS Fargate, SQS, API GateWay. Problem: Traditional architectures rely heavily on EC2, leading to: - Idle compute costs - Tight coupling of services Solution: optimize compute usage by selecting the right execution model per workload.

PROJECT 04. Cost Optimizing Infrastructure

This project implements cost minimization without quality compromises on AWS infrastructure using terraform. Problems: Overprovisioning, Idle compute, Only on demand instances, No storage tiering. Solutions: Intelligent usage of spot instances using MIP, Lifecycle Policies, Cache distribution etc.

PROJECT 05. YAML Pipelines: PR Validation & Deployment to Dev Server

Uses Github actions workflows. This project enforces a strict validation check (lint, format, test, build check) on every PR and builds, pushes docker image to registry and deploys it to Development server. Workflow: Pull request → PR Validation (ci) → merge and push event → Build image and push to ECR → Deploy to dev EC2 → Smoke test
