Developed automation scripts for:

• System health checks (CPU, RAM, disk, processes)
• Deployment automation
• Alerting via email/webhooks
• Log parsing and reporting

Example:
A Python scheduler that logged system metrics and triggered alerts when thresholds were exceeded.

Built multi-stage pipelines:

• Build → Test → Push → Deploy
• Automated Docker image creation
• Pushed images to Docker Hub / JFrog Artifactory
• Deployed to EC2 using Docker Compose

Impact:
Fully automated deployments with minimal manual intervention.

• Containerized Node.js + MongoDB services
• Deployed on AWS EKS
• Configured Deployments, Services, Ingress
• Implemented HPA for autoscaling
• Managed configs using ConfigMaps & Secrets

Result:
High availability, fault tolerance, and simplified rollbacks.

• Connected Jira with GitLab using webhooks
• Smart commits updated Jira tickets automatically
• Linked merge requests to user stories
• Improved sprint visibility and traceability

• Automated patching using Ansible
• Hardened SSH (no root login, key-based auth, custom ports)
• Configured firewalls (ufw, iptables)
• Implemented fail2ban for brute-force protection
• Set up Netdata for real-time monitoring

Built a full-stack serverless app using:

• Lambda
• API Gateway
• DynamoDB
• Cognito
• CI/CD automation with Serverless Framework

A shell script that:

• Checks for updates
