Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex

Implemented continuous monitoring using CloudWatch forlogs and metrics across AWS and on-premise servers dedicated to BioTech and Mechanical simulations.• Set threshold alerts resulting in autoscaling, and optimizing resource management accordingly. This initiative led to a notable 25% reduction in downtime and lowered costs for UTARI on AWS.• Ensured server-side encryption for UTARI's Amazon S3 objects using AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customermanaged keys(SSE-KMS). This allowed the organization to create, manage, and control cryptographic keys across applications andAWS services, ensuring compliance with federal and institutional laws and regulations.• In 2022, optimized Institute’s HPC environment CI/CD pipeline stages and workflows using code testing, building, deployment, configuration, and monitoring which helped us save time, reduced deployment errors by 30%., and improve consistency and deliver changes quickly and reliably.• Contributed to the integration of AWS Lambda with other AWS services, learning to leverage Lambda for event-driven architectures and real-time data processing.• Participated in the creation of Docker Images and basic deployments into containers, supporting the streamlining of the deployment process and improving overall deployment efficiency.
