My work experience
DevOps Engineer
Freelance | SaaS & FinTech clients, FL, United States
Jan 2025 – Present
- Developed and maintained CI/CD pipelines utilizing GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Argo CD on Kubernetes, integrating quality gates with SonarQube and CodeClimate to reduce release cycles by 70% and secure artifact promotion
- Migrated and re-architected a monolithic application to AWS Elastic Beanstalk, incorporating RDS, ElastiCache, and Amazon MQ with blue/green deployment strategies, cutting deployment times from 30 to 5 minutes.
- Engineered reusable Terraform modules for EC2, security groups, and AMIs, achieving 90% reuse and a 40% reduction in provisioning time while enforcing compliance through version-controlled configurations.
- Implemented robust observability by integrating Prometheus, Grafana, and CloudWatch metrics to monitor latency, error rate, and system saturation, reducing mean time to recovery by 30%.
- Integrated DevSecOps best practices by automating security controls, including IAM role policies, KMS-encrypted secrets, container scanning with Trivy and Grype, and WAF rule implementation.
- Automated environment provisioning using Ansible and Bash, and documented disaster recovery procedures and rollback runbooks to ensure sustained operational reliability.
Backend Developer & DevOps Engineer
