Took a sabbatical to pursue further education and spend quality time with family. I have completed a Post Graduate Program in Cloud Computing at The University of Texas at Austin, gaining hands-on experience with AWS and Azure technologies. I was engaged with real world scenario based projects as a part of the program, focusing on cloud-based solutions, automation, and DevOps practices. These projects included automating business processes on Azure, developing secure file synchronization solutions, implementing automated AWS services, deploying containerized applications on AWS Lambda, and configuring secure communication solutions on AWS—all aimed at optimizing efficiency, scalability, and governance for business operations.

The scope of this role involved driving the success of modernization and integration projects by creating new automations, improvements, and tools. This included implementing a 12-factored Spring Boot REST API and deploying it to IBM Hybrid Cloud, developing Ansible playbooks to support application modernization efforts, and integrating DevSecOps into Travis CI/CD pipelines. I also played a critical role in remediating performance bottlenecks by introducing an automated Kafka stream integration for REST APIs.Additionally, I spearheaded hybrid cloud projects, leading efforts to containerize and deploy microservices on AWS and IBM Cloud. I also architected and deployed CI/CD pipelines that optimized the deployment process, leveraging Docker, RedHat OpenShift, and AWX/Ansible Tower. These projects resulted in a 35% improvement in scalability and a 50% reduction in deployment times.My achievements in this role included increasing performance by creating a Java and JavaScript automation framework from scratch, achieving 80% test coverage with a new test strategy for web services API testing, and implementing CI/CD pipelines with integrated automated regression and smoke tests. Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, I ensured that the solutions were highly scalable and aligned with business governance and security protocols.

In this role, I focused on the development and testing of DevOps pipeline stages for products like IBM Cloud (Bluemix) DevOps and UrbanCode Deploy on the IBM Cloud. I planned and conducted tests of toolchain capabilities, specifically by validating REST APIs using JavaScript test frameworks, which enhanced the overall effectiveness of the CI/CD pipeline. Additionally, I introduced new monitoring and performance tools that improved the IBM Cloud DevOps toolchain.A significant part of my responsibilities included creating plugins for UrbanCode Deploy (uDeploy) to automate processes, saving developers up to 15% of their time. I also documented and verified both manual and automated setup steps for Open Toolchain in alignment with the IBM Garage method. My work extended to implementing AppScan, providing valuable insights for timeline monitoring, which helped streamline the DevOps processes and improved efficiency across teams.
