Cloud Architecture & Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Lead the design and implementation of highly available, multi-region AWS architectures with a primary focus on EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service).
Extensive Terraform Tooling: Develop, maintain, and version-control modular Terraform templates to manage complex cloud resources, ensuring 100% of infrastructure is codified and reproducible.
Configuration Management: Utilize Ansible Playbooks for OS-level hardening, application configuration, and hybrid-cloud task automation.
Kubernetes Orchestration & Security
K8s Lifecycle Management: Manage the full lifecycle of EKS clusters, including upgrades, node group optimization, and cost management.
Security & Governance: Implement and enforce Kubernetes security best practices, including Service Accounts (IRSA), Network Policies, RBAC, and integrated Secrets Management (e.g., HashiCorp Vault or AWS Secrets Manager).
Containerization: Lead the effort to containerize complex legacy applications and optimize configuration patterns within Kubernetes.
GitHub Actions Excellence: Design and optimize high-speed GitHub Actions workflows for automated testing, security scanning, and seamless deployments.
SRE Scripting: Develop advanced automation scripts (Python, Go, or Bash) to eliminate "toil," automate self-healing, and perform capacity planning.
Observability & Monitoring: Build and maintain comprehensive Grafana dashboards to monitor Pod/Service performance. Deploy and configure Beats agents (Filebeat, Metricbeat) as DaemonSets to ensure deep visibility into container logs and system metrics.
