About

I specialize in DevOps, Cloud Computing and Infrastructure Automation with hands-on expertise in tools like Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker, ArgoCD and CI/CD pipelines. I design and implement cloud-native architectures that are scalable, secure and resilient with a strong focus on efficiency and reliability.

Some Real Problems Solved

Azure API Manager Performance Optimization

    Problem
  • • The Azure API Manager was saturated, causing microservices to experience slowness during peak loads.
  • • The challenge was to maintain consistent performance while managing API traffic efficiently.
    Solution
  • • Designed and implemented an automated scaling solution for Azure API Manager.
  • • Created a custom script that monitored third-party endpoint conditions to trigger scaling events.
  • • Implemented a dynamic scaling strategy that adjusted APIM units based on real-time traffic conditions.
  • • The solution improved API response times and reduced latency during peak loads.

CI/CD Pipeline Performance Optimization

    Problem
  • • A large enterprise's CI/CD pipelines were experiencing significant delays, with build times exceeding 45 minutes.
  • • The pipelines utilized shared resources, leading to resource contention and inconsistent build times.
  • • When a modification needed to be done on all (team) pipelines, it had to be done manually on each pipeline.
    Solution
  • • Redesigned the pipeline architecture to use dedicated build agents for each team running on Kubernetes with resource isolation.
  • • Unify all pipelines in a architecture based on templates to optimize its management, allowing to update all pipelines at once.
  • • The optimized pipelines reduced average build times by 70% and improved reliability.

Disaster Recovery for Critical Enterprise Applications

    Problem
  • • A financial institution needed to ensure business continuity for their mission-critical applications.
  • • The existing disaster recovery plan was manual and time-consuming, with high risk of human error.
  • • The recovery process needed to be automated while maintaining data consistency and regulatory compliance.
    Solution
  • • Developed an automated disaster recovery solution using Terraform.
  • • Implemented cross-region replication for critical databases and stateful services.
  • • Created automated testing procedures to validate recovery procedures.
  • • The solution reduced recovery time from hours to minutes and improved compliance with regulatory requirements.

Azure App Services Migration to Kubernetes

    Problem
  • • Needed to migrate 300+ Azure App Services to Kubernetes microservices.
  • • Container images were initially hosted on DockerHub and needed to be moved to Azure Container Registry (ACR).
  • • The challenge was to implement a self-service deployment process for developers while maintaining security and consistency.
    Solution
  • • Successfully migrated 300+ Azure App Services to Kubernetes microservices.
  • • Implemented container image migration from DockerHub to Azure Container Registry.
  • • Designed and implemented a GitOps architecture using ArgoCD with Kustomize for configuration management.
  • • Created automated deployment pipeline that enables developers to:
  • • - Apply code changes
  • • - Build and deploy microservices automatically through ArgoCD
  • • - Eliminate DevOps team intervention for routine deployments
  • • The solution streamlined the deployment process and improved developer productivity.
