- 180+ microservices
- 20% lower API latency
- ~$25K/yr AWS savings
- 50% iOS optimization
- 60% Android optimization
- Built and maintain a Groovy-based Jenkins shared library powering CI/CD for 180+ microservices, micro-frontends, and mobile apps, standardizing build, signing, and release workflows.
- Implemented GitOps delivery and rollbacks for 150+ Java (Spring Boot) and Node.js microservices across EKS clusters using ArgoCD and reusable Helm charts.
- Automated AWS provisioning (EKS, RDS, ALB, CloudFront, S3, SQS, API Gateway, VPC Link v2) and EKS Kubernetes version upgrades with Terraform.
- Reduced API latency by 20% and AWS costs by ~$25K/year by migrating ~180 services to VPC Link v2 and removing the NLB hop.
- Reduced iOS build times by 50% through derived-data reuse and shared Swift packages, and Android build times by 60% through remote Gradle caching.
- Scaled SonarQube from a two-team proof of concept to a highly available Data Center Edition deployment on Kubernetes, supporting 9 teams, ~25M lines of code, and thousands of builds per day.
- Engineered highly available Jenkins and ArgoCD deployments on EKS, improving platform reliability and minimizing CI/CD downtime.
- Serve in the production AWS on-call rotation, troubleshooting distributed systems and restoring service, and built CloudWatch monitoring, dashboards, and alerts for Jenkins, SonarQube, and core applications.
- Automated AWS resource modification and deletion alerts to Microsoft Teams using EventBridge, SNS, and Amazon Q.
- Built an internal MCP server integrating Jenkins, GitLab, SonarQube, Jira, and Confluence with VS Code Copilot, streamlining developer workflows and engineering troubleshooting.
- Developing an AI agent to automate new microservice onboarding by generating CI/CD pipeline configurations and Terraform/Helm scaffolding.
