*Collaborated with architects and engineers to design networks, systems and storage environments that reflectedbusiness needs, security specifications and service level requirements.* Developed scripts to automate deployment and maintenance of public cloud resources.*Selected appropriate AWS service based on compute, data or security requirements.*Assessed organization technology infrastructure and managed cloud migration process.*Advised on project costs, concepts or design changes.*Communicated with clients to understand system requirements.*Utilized Python to handle debugging and automation scripting tasks.*Boosted cloud development by creating functions, applications and databases for users.*Performed best practices by creating systems with fast load times, multiple browser support and minimal memoryusage.*Create and maintain handle.net server for creating and managing prefixes of journals published by researchers.*Responsible for creating and modifying security groups for access to private resources.*Create Cross-account roles and permissions for DATA (ETL) pipelines.*Evaluated emerging technology factors around cost comparison, portability or usability.

* Managed AWS infrastructure to ensure compliance and resiliency and high availability.* Monitored and remediated cloud misconfigurations reported by PacBot (Policy-as-Code Bot) to help bolster our Cloud Security Posture and improve compliance. * Worked with Developers in a cross-functional environment leveraging IAM to ensure that they had the access they needed for their operations.* Worked with other team members to troubleshoot and resolve production issues that arise.* Deployed Lambda solutions for auto-tagging resources and tag editor to retrospectively apply tags to resources missing tags. * Managed Jenkins and code build pipelines.* Provision and deploy AWS resources using CloudFormation and Terraform Templates.* Design and implemented scalable, highly available and fault-tolerant system solutions in the AWS cloud environment.* Provision client environments to automatically notify and auto-remediate Trusted Advisor findings and AWS config drifts using CloudWatch, SNS and AWS Lambda.* Manage and provision Ansible Tower to scale Automation, enterprise-wide system updates saving time.* Deployed Lambda and instance scheduler solutions to stop and start ec2 instances, resulting in costs savings.

* Leveraged Auto scaling groups to right-size EC2 pools to match the level of demand and eliminating excess capacity.* Implemented end-to-end configuration of CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins integrated with Nexus for artifacts and SonarQube for code quality check.* Increased efficiency by 17% by creating Ansible roles and playbooks to configure, deploy, and maintain software components of existing/new infrastructure.* Ensured data recoverability by implementing systems snapshot, AMIs, RDS Replicas, and application-level backup to S3 according to technical standards.

* Implemented various security policies using NACLs, AWS WAF, AWS Shield, Security Groups, private subnets, Encryption in transit, and at rest.* Configured multi-account architectures, identity and access management, governance, data security, network design, and logging within provisioned AWS Landing Zone.* Built and configured a virtual data center in the AWS Cloud using AWS best practices.* Used Route 53 policies to route traffic according to geographical locations by leveraging industry trends.* Configuration management using CLI, SSM and Ansible.
