As a DevOps Engineer, I have worked on a multitude of projects to get AnyVan's system onto the Cloud. - I have used Terraform codes to automate the creation of various AWS resources. For example: + Produced handcrafted Lambda functions for a variety of purposes such as Lambda@Edge functions to ensure that website traffic flows smoothly as well as cron-based Lambda functions to update Google Sheets with MySQL data for various business purposes. + Created Cloudfront distributions to manage AnyVan's websites as well as WAF rules to protect our assets. + Initialize autoscaling groups to set up MySQL EC2 instances using a shared EBS volume for our database. As well as migrating our MySQL EC2 instances to Aurora clusters. + Move our legacy codebase onto Dockerized containers to allow for a scalable, easy-to-manage infrastructure. I have worked extensively in a team-based environment utilizing agile practices to ensure ease of completion for projects in a timely manner.I have also led a course in our company about the advanced usage of Google Sheets. This covered topics such as Google Scripts, Python integration, and advanced Google functions in Python.
