Experience
Built a Kubernetes Cluster with CI/CD in a DMZ Environment
I designed and built a scalable infrastructure using cloud-native architecture for a large-scale distributed application deployed on hybrid cloud systems (private cloud and AWS) using Kubernetes and Docker. My work also included creating CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins to spin up the whole infrastructure over CloudFormation, as well as managing deployments using CloudFormation, Ansible, and Helm.
Established Connectivity with AWS Direct Connect
Physically connected the client's data centers to AWS infrastructure using AWS Direct Connect and troubleshoot issues which included OSI layers 1-4, from setting up the physical connection, establishing ARP using 802.1Q VLAN encapsulation, and establishing eBGP peering relationships with AWS infrastructure.
Built a Microservices Architecture for .NET Apps Using Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
I built an architecture for .NET microservices for a large eCommerce platform using Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS). The project consists of an API gateway and five or more (dynamic) microservices developed on .NET Core. I had to containerize the application according to the AKS ecosystem and then design the CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps to orchestrate the build and deploy process. I also considered adding new microservices using the pipeline so developers can add a new service behind the gateway using a pipeline in Azure DevOps.
For DevSecOps, I used Veracode and SourceClear to scan all locally developed and 3rd-party code so all builds are scanned before getting to the build pipeline; JFrog Xray was used to scan the Docker containers.

Migrating from Heroku to AWS ECS
The client used a complex application running a blend of interdependent services with different tech stacks. The monthly cost was huge for Heroku's convenience, so we moved the application to AWS ECS Cluster with AWS Fargate. The CI/CD part was challenging, but we managed to implement a blue/green deployment model using AWS CodeStar.

AVD Solution for Remote Access
As a cloud consultant, I designed and implemented an Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) environment to provide a team with secure, remote access to a standardized desktop experience. I created golden images containing the necessary operating system, applications, and security configurations to ensure consistency across all virtual desktops.
To keep these images updated, I established a pipeline for baking the images using Azure Image Builder and Azure DevOps pipelines, allowing for regular updates with minimal downtime. Auto-scaling was enabled to optimize resource utilization and costs, which also helped achieve high availability for the solution.
Additionally, I integrated FSLogix to manage user profiles efficiently, ensuring fast login times and a consistent user experience by storing profiles on Azure Files.
