QUEST LOG
🏰 REVE CLOUD — AWS CLOUD & DEVOPS ENGINEER
Supporting mission-critical Internet Banking & Mobile Banking platforms — managing cloud-native workloads on AWS and OpenShift to guarantee high availability, security and performance across all environments.
- Designed, built & maintained 150+ CI/CD pipelines (AWS CodePipeline + CodeBuild) across multiple environments — automated, consistent, reliable deploys.
- Automated CI/CD with Tekton Pipelines; troubleshot failures and boosted deployment reliability for microservices.
- Managed GitOps with Argo CD: app sync, drift detection, rollout monitoring & operator issue resolution.
- Integrated Prisma Cloud scanning into pipelines — source/image vulnerability + CIS compliance checks before deploy.
- Performed OpenShift platform ops: cluster upgrades, operator upgrades (GitOps, Logging), DR drills & health checks.
- Implemented LokiStack during Logging Operator v5→v6 upgrade — centralized logs & better observability.
- Migrated Internet & Mobile Banking apps across EKS and ROSA for Non-Prod, UAT & Production with minimal downtime.
- Migrated SIT environment from HCP ROSA → Classic ROSA; upgraded Ubuntu 20.04→22.04 with minimal downtime.
- Owned end-to-end AWS infra: VPC, EKS, EC2, RDS, ALB & IAM across Dev, QA and PROD supporting 20+ services.
- Hosted Selfie Loan, Credit Card & Personal Loan portals on S3 + CloudFront CDN — faster loads, global delivery, higher availability.
- Integrated VUNET with EKS for cluster health & proactive issue detection; AppSentinels for API latency, response times & faster RCA.
- Built CloudWatch dashboards (Logs Insights queries) for UAT/PROD EKS monitoring; deployed CloudWatch Agent for deeper metrics & alerting.
- Troubleshot production issues end-to-end; executed DR↔DC application switchover drills validating failover & recovery readiness.
- Cut AWS spend 50% ($36K/year) via continuous cost analysis & resource optimization.
- Daily cost reviews with Cost Explorer, CloudWatch & utilization reports; daily/monthly stakeholder cost reports.
- Scheduled non-prod environments; reclaimed unused snapshots, unattached EBS, idle LBs & stray Elastic IPs.
- Resolved VAPT & Prisma findings across environments; reconstructed AWS Network Firewall with stateful rules.
- Migrated encryption to Customer Managed Keys (CMK), closing C-SITE audit findings.
- Prepared audit evidence & maintained inventory reports for resources, clusters, apps and environments.
