Data Center Migration

I've migrated a colocation center with more than 20 services running to AWS without downtime. The process included the cloud infrastructure design, migration, and re-engineering of the 20 services to better use the AWS benefits.

After the migration, the infrastructure savings were about 20%, only considering the colocation costs and not hardware acquisition costs. There was also a huge reduction in the time to deploy new services or projects from days to hours.

IaC and CI/CD Implementation

Migrated a Maven/Spring project that included several services from Linode to AWS. Deployed the whole new infrastructure as code using Terraform with separation of the test, staging, and production environments and multiple services.

Implemented a CI/CD pipeline using CircleCI, reducing the deployment times by half.

PCI DSS Compliance

Completed and sustained the PCI DSS report on compliance of an ATM network for a US-based client for five years in a row.

This job involved controlling and reporting changes to the requirements from version to version and applying changes to fulfill those that did not comply or were new.
