With over 16+ years of extensive experience in both product development and software services, I have a professional background that encompasses roles as a DevOps engineer, System Administrator, Software Develsoper, Configuration Manager, and expertise in Continuous Integration (CI), Continuous Deployment, Release Management, and Cloud Implementations
– Served as the sole DevOps engineer, owning the full AWS cloud platform lifecycle — from architecture design through implementation and day-to-day operations — built entirely from scratch. – Provisioned Amazon EKS, managed databases, networking, and IAM using Terraform, enforcing security and compliance best practices throughout. – Built and operated Kubernetes environments spanning development, production, and disaster recovery, ensuring high availability and resilience at every tier. – Designed and implemented CI/CD pipelines from the ground up using Bamboo, reducing deployment cycle time and eliminating manual release risk. – Reduced AWS infrastructure costs by 30% through resource right-sizing, environment redesign, and automation — with zero impact on performance or availability. – Coordinated closely with internal teams, external partners, and client stakeholders to deliver integrations and platform releases with near-zero downtime.
– Led Kubernetes platform optimisation for AmeriBen, delivering a 20–30% cost reduction while maintaining full platform stability and performance. – Defined and standardised Helm chart templates, improving deployment consistency across all environments and reducing configuration drift. – Supported AIOps use-case readiness, including monitoring baseline alignment, operational validation, and deployment support. – Collaborated cross-functionally with engineering, operations, and platform teams to troubleshoot integration issues and stabilise cloud environments.
– Designed and delivered a multi-cloud proof of concept across AWS and Azure, producing production-ready infrastructure aligned with enterprise scalability requirements. – Developed reusable Terraform modules from the ground up, establishing shared IaC standards and enabling consistent infrastructure provisioning across teams. – Created and standardised Helm chart templates, improving Kubernetes deployment consistency across multiple products and environments. – Integrated Princess Caribbean Lines (PCL) systems with the AIOps platform, enabling reliable data ingestion, observability, and operational monitoring. – Guided the DevEnabler team in transitioning the development environment from cloud back to on-premises, saving significant monthly cloud spend without reducing efficiency.
– Identified cloud performance and cost-efficiency opportunities across client environments, acting as a hands-on DevOps and automation subject-matter expert. – Collaborated with business, engineering, and security teams to operate, monitor, and support reliable cloud-hosted systems.
– Re-architected a legacy booking platform into a services-based, API-driven system, developing RESTful APIs and enabling reusable integrations across applications. – Owned release management and deployment automation using AWS CI/CD services and Terraform IaC, containerising environments with Docker for consistent platform operations.
– Designed, deployed, and operated AWS cloud platforms across all environments, ensuring uptime, security, scalability, and production reliability across 50+ accounts. – Replaced manual deployments with container-based CI/CD pipelines using Docker, Kubernetes (Helm), and Jenkins across multiple product platforms. – Implemented infrastructure automation and configuration management using Terraform and Puppet to standardise and harden Linux environments. – Reduced AWS costs by approximately $2,000 per month through resource optimisation, server consolidation, and improved governance.
– Owned AWS platform engineering for the PayMaya mobile application — infrastructure provisioning, deployments, administration, and cloud cost controls. – Introduced DevOps tooling and workflows using Puppet automation, enabling agile development practices and achieving 100% successful production deployments.
