Experience
AWS Cost Optimization Project
Extensive analysis of reserved instances and savings plans were needed, and many purchases were made to optimize the compute resources consumption.
After a semester of work, many services were shut down, rightsized, or adjusted in their configurations, which meant a nearly $1 million reduction in expenses.
Orchestrate CICD Pipeline and Implement IaC
https://www.isic.org/I designed a new multi-account landing zone for their AWS resources using the well-architected framework guidelines and deployed the new infrastructure in it. It was all built using Terraform with Terraform Cloud automated pipelines that required no human interaction to deploy the full architecture.
By the end of the project, the client's entire infrastructure and CICD pipelines were in code for ease of use and an easy handover. New environment isolation and GitOps features were added to the developer experience.
