Williams M.

● Created dedicated IAM roles, custom policies, and KMS keys for all applications and microservices via IaC2 (custom parameterized Terragrunt and Golang-based Pulumi scripts for both infrastructure and Kubernetes), enforcing least-privilege access and improving resource isolation by 40%.

● Refactored and converted critical Terraform code to IaC2 (Pulumi/Terragrunt), boosting infrastructure consistency across environments and speeding up deployments by 60%.

● Added Kubernetes manifest validation to CI pipelines, reducing production misconfigurations by over 80% and cutting incident resolution times in half.

● Optimized API test builds through concurrency and Docker image caching, shrinking build durations from 20 minutes to under 10 (50% improvement).

● Orchestrated multi-account, multi-region Disaster Recovery (DR) by identifying critical systems, establishing a recovery AWS account, creating a proof-of-concept with Arpio and then IaC2 + AWS backups + cross-region and cross-account replication.

● Created DR runbook and achieved successful failover tests with near-zero data loss.

● Developed a modern VPC module (multi-AZ subnets, NAT gateways) in Go-based Pulumi, enhancing scalability and cutting environment setup times by 70%.

● Drove cost-optimization strategies, reducing monthly infrastructure expenses by 20%.

● Mentored engineers on secure infrastructure design, championed best practices in GitOps, and promoted a collaborative culture through Slack Donut meetups and team-building sessions.

• Directed the design and implementation of scalable cloud infrastructure on AWS and GCP for a high-traffic platform, serving over 1 million monthly users with 99.99% uptime.
• Implemented infrastructure-as-code practices using Terraform and ArgoCD, reducing deploymenttimes by over 50% and enhancing team productivity.
• Pioneered the migration from EC2 to AWS EKS, as one of the first Devops Engineer on the team, cutting infrastructure costs by 40%, boosting deployment speed by 35%, and enhancing systemresilience by 50%
• Authored and maintained 200+ pages of technical documentation on Notion, significantly improving the onboarding process for new team members and external collaborators.
• Orchestrated the deployment of a new Jenkins server, enhancing CI/CD pipelines with Kubernetes pods; achieved a 50% increase in build process efficiency for over 30+ activedevelopment teams.
• Integrated AWS Secret Manager, streamlining secret management for 100+ applications; improved security posture by 40% through robust IAM roles and security group configurations.
• Led a critical migration project, transferring 20+ CI builds to the new Jenkins platform within a tight 1-month deadline, ensuring zero disruption to ongoing development activities.
• Spearheaded the introduction of Docker in Docker (DIND) servers for Jenkins builds, reducing build times by 25% and enhancing the pipeline's reliability for containerized applications.
• Initiated and successfully completed the migration of Helm charts to AWS ECR, facilitating a smoother deployment process and improving deployment efficiency by 30%.
• Established a comprehensive monitoring solution using Prometheus and Grafana for real-time visibility into the health and performance of Linux servers and applications, enabling proactiveissue resolution and a 99.9% uptime
