A project that monitors cloud cost, delivering alerts and stopping resources based on pre-defined policies. The project is based on Cloud Custodian, Jenkins, and Terraform.

The Custodian scripts are written by security engineers and pushed to Git, which triggers an automatic Terraform pipeline in Jenkins. This reduced the clients' costs by 50%.

As a DevSecOps consultant, I was in charge of finding an open-source solution that fit client requests, developing a process for easy deployment of new security and cost policies, and monitoring the current status. I set up the Jenkins job and Terraform templates and pipelines to deploy new policies and update existing ones.

I played a crucial role in successfully developing a comprehensive project covering various facets of cloud technology and software development. Initially, I was tasked with deploying the infrastructure using ARM templates and Terraform, creating a solid foundation for the project's robust and scalable architecture.

A significant part of the project involved developing and optimizing CI/CD pipelines. My approach led to an efficient and reliable integration and deployment process, which ensured the project's agility and responsiveness to changes.

When faced with the task of troubleshooting a Node.js app, I managed to pinpoint and rectify issues effectively, enhancing the application's performance and stability.

Further, I deployed the application on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), ensuring it was scalable, reliable, and ready to handle high-performance demands.

Lastly, I oversaw the deployment of microservices in Azure Functions, emphasizing the project's commitment to a microservices architecture. This contributed to the project's overall flexibility, scalability, and resilience. My diverse skill set and comprehensive involvement were integral to the project's successful development.

The VMware vCenter project involved migrating physical hosts to virtual machines (VMs) for a construction company. By leveraging VMware vCenter, the company achieved increased utilization and efficiency of its IT infrastructure. Benefits included resource consolidation, cost savings, scalability, and simplified management. The project enhanced flexibility, enabling rapid provisioning of VMs and streamlined backups. VMware vCenter provided a centralized platform for monitoring performance, allocating resources, and implementing security measures.

Overall, the project optimized the company's IT operations, supporting its business needs and positioning it for future growth.
