As a Cloud Engineer at USAATX, I’ve been responsible for leading our move from on-premises servers to Microsoft Azure, which has greatly improved the efficiency and flexibility of our infrastructure. Using Azure Site Recovery, I helped migrate our systems with minimal downtime, ensuring everything ran smoothly throughout the transition.A big part of my role has been to automate our infrastructure setup. By using tools like Terraform and Azure DevOps, I’ve been able to simplify the deployment process, saving time and reducing the chances of mistakes. This automation has made it easier for our teams to work consistently across development, testing, and production environments.I’ve also worked on making sure our cloud environment is both secure and efficient. I designed and managed Azure Virtual Networks, Security Groups, and Load Balancers to keep our applications running reliably and securely. Additionally, I set up Azure Log Analytics to monitor our systems in real time, which helps us catch and fix issues before they impact performance.Lastly, I’ve used tools like Ansible to further automate routine tasks, which has freed up time for the team to focus on more important projects. Overall, this experience has allowed me to improve how we manage our infrastructure, making it more scalable, secure, and reliable.

During my time as a DevOps Engineer at Charter Communications, I played a key role in managing and optimizing the company's cloud infrastructure, primarily using OpenStack. I was responsible for maintaining and troubleshooting various OpenStack components like Keystone, Nova, Neutron, and Glance, ensuring the stability and performance of the cloud environment.A major part of my work involved automating tasks with Ansible, which helped streamline the management of servers and improved the scalability of the infrastructure. I also worked closely with the team to set up and configure Ceph storage for our cloud systems, which increased the efficiency and storage capabilities of the platform.One of the most rewarding aspects of the role was implementing auto-scaling solutions based on the demand of our applications, which allowed us to meet fluctuating workloads efficiently. I also contributed to the deployment and configuration of load balancers using F5 Viprion, ensuring high availability and traffic management for critical applications.I worked extensively with container technologies, particularly Docker, to support the deployment of microservices, further enhancing the flexibility and resilience of our applications. Additionally, I implemented Nagios to monitor the health of key cloud components, which enabled quick identification and resolution of potential issues.This project allowed me to deepen my expertise in cloud management and automation while working on large-scale infrastructure that required both technical precision and strategic problem-solving.

As a DevOps Engineer at AES Corporation, I was deeply involved in automating and improving the company’s deployment and build processes. Using tools like Git, Bitbucket, and Jenkins, I helped streamline continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, which reduced manual intervention and made software releases faster and more reliable.I was responsible for setting up and managing Jenkins servers, creating pipelines for automated builds, and deploying applications across various environments, including QA, staging, and production. This allowed the development team to focus on building features while I ensured that everything was deployed efficiently and correctly.My work also involved automating routine tasks using Shell scripts and deploying applications on Apache Tomcat and WebLogic servers. I frequently collaborated with the development and QA teams to troubleshoot and resolve issues during deployments. Additionally, I worked on AWS, managing EC2 instances and leveraging services like S3 and Elastic Load Balancing to improve scalability and reliability.One of the most impactful aspects of this role was introducing blue/green deployment strategies, which allowed us to release new versions of applications with zero downtime, significantly improving the overall customer experience. Throughout this project, I gained valuable hands-on experience with cloud technologies and automation tools that helped streamline operations and improve deployment efficiency.

As a Linux Administrator at Value Labs, I was responsible for maintaining the integrity and performance of our Linux and Solaris systems. My role involved installing, configuring, and troubleshooting these operating systems to ensure smooth operations across the organization. I also set up high-availability environments using VERITAS Cluster and Sun Cluster, which helped the company avoid downtime and improve system reliability.One of my key responsibilities was managing user accounts, network services like DNS, NFS, and DHCP, and ensuring proper backups were in place for disaster recovery. I worked on server performance tuning, helping optimize resources to keep the systems running efficiently. Additionally, I automated routine tasks using Shell scripting, which saved time and reduced the risk of manual errors.This role gave me deep experience in system administration and network management, while also strengthening my problem-solving skills as I tackled a wide variety of technical challenges.
