AWS Solutions Architect Associate | CI/CD Pipelines | Kubernetes

AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate | DevOps Engineer with Strong CI/CD & Infrastructure as Code Expertise I am transitioning my focus to hands-on DevOps engineering, leveraging my extensive experience designing, building, and maintaining cloud-native infrastructure and automated pipelines on AWS. With a proven track record of architecting scalable, reliable CI/CD systems and testing environments, I’m eager to take on more DevOps-focused projects—delivering infrastructure as code, cloud automation, container orchestration, and performance optimisation. Key achievements and expertise: • Designed and implemented AWS-based infrastructure using Terraform for provisioning and managing resources (VPC, EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, ECS/EKS clusters). • Built and maintained robust CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, ArgoCD, and GitHub Actions, enabling pipeline-driven test execution and automated deployments. • Automated configuration management and infrastructure deployment with Ansible and Chef across multi-environment setups. • Architected self-service performance and load testing platforms (Gatling, JMeter, WebPageTest) integrated into CI/CD workflows. • Developed supporting services for testing and operations: test data generation, event messaging verification, and secure backend/database access. • Introduced AI-enhanced testing and automation solutions organization-wide. • Hands-on experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes basics via EKS/ArgoCD). • Proficient in scripting and backend development (Python, Bash, Node.js, Java) for custom tooling and automation. Tools & Technologies: • Cloud: AWS (Certified Solutions Architect Associate), EC2, ECS/EKS, RDS, S3, Lambda • IaC: Terraform (primary), CloudFormation • Configuration: Ansible, Chef • CI/CD: Jenkins, ArgoCD, GitHub Actions • Monitoring & Testing: Gatling, JMeter, WebPageTest, Selenium, Playwright, Appium • Scripting: Python, Bash, Node.js • Project Management: Jira, Trello I’m particularly excited about opportunities involving AWS architecture, Terraform-based infrastructure, CI/CD optimization, Kubernetes deployments, and cloud cost/performance tuning. Ready to bring both strategic insight from team leadership and deep hands-on DevOps delivery to your projects. Let’s discuss how I can help streamline your infrastructure and pipelines!
