Experience
- Terraform Architecture for Nike
The project involved the Terraform infrastructure for Nike's core ERP systems across all business units worldwide. I took ownership and re-architected the Terraform infrastructure automation, which resulted in reducing the deployment of parallel systems from 2-3 days to less than an hour. This Terraform architecture deploys and manages thousands of virtual machines in AWS and Azure.
- Container Migration from Heroku to AWS ECShttp://www.notarize.com
I architected and built a multi-environment AWS ECS cluster using Terraform and migrated all microservice containers from Heroku to AWS ECS. Furthermore, I configured the application logging using Telegraf, AWS CloudWatch, and Datadog and the container logging in sumo logic.
- Cloud Infrastructure and Pipeline for an Email Analytics Companyhttp://www.sparkpost.com
A web-based application for an email analytics company. I designed and built the cloud network infrastructure, the global database cluster, replication across multiple regions, and the CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions and ECS clusters.
