Technical Skills
Work Experience
- Designed and maintained CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and Azure DevOps that integrated build, test and release stages for containerized applications, improving delivery repeatability and reducing manual release steps.
- Integrated SAST/DAST and image scanning into pipelines using SonarQube, Mend (WhiteSource) and Trivy; established quality gates to block insecure merges and reduce vulnerability exposure during development.
- Built optimized Dockerfiles and Helm charts for Java, Angular, React and Python applications; managed image lifecycle and deployed workloads to Kubernetes and OpenShift to ensure portability and high availability.
- Implemented and automated Azure Policy-based governance across subscriptions and configured RBAC in Azure DevOps; enforced compliance rules and least-privilege access patterns to meet organizational security standards.
- Managed centralized artifact and image storage using Sonatype Nexus integrated with Amazon S3 and automated release publication to streamline retrieval and deployment reliability.
- Improved operational efficiency and observability by integrating Kibana, Prometheus and Grafana and by automating routine tasks with Python and Bash scripts, achieving approximately 80% reduction in manual effort for common workflows.
- Implemented CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and Git that reduced deployment lead time by ~90%, enabling faster and more reliable software releases.
- Automated build, test and release tasks with Bash and Python scripts to remove repetitive manual steps and increase deployment consistency.
- Containerized application artifacts and standardized Dockerfiles to ensure consistency between development and production environments and simplify rollouts.
- Collaborated closely with development teams to integrate source-control workflows (Git/GitHub) and coordinate seamless application deployments across environments.
- Authored and maintained detailed deployment runbooks, configuration documentation and rollback procedures to improve operational clarity and reduce recovery time during incidents.
