  Building and overseeing reliable CI/CD pipelines via platforms such as Azure DevOps, Jenkins, and GitLab CI/CD, which accelerates the release process by providing automated solutions for builds, testing, and deployments. Designing and establishing infrastructure by using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles alongside tools such as Terraform or ARM templates, streamlining infrastructure provisioning and configuration, hence improving the ease of management, testing, and deployment. Orchestrating release processes across development, QA, and operations teams, ensuring rigorous testing and adherence to quality standards. I am skilled at managing release timelines, overseeing approvals, and supervising deployments. Overseeing infrastructure and application components' configurations to ensure uniformity across all environments. This is done using automation tools like Ansible or Puppet, which simplify configuration alterations, support consistency, and enable efficient deployment. Setting up and administering monitoring and logging tools such as Azure Monitor, Elasticsearch, and Kibana. My proficiency with these tools allows me to create effective dashboards, alerts, and reports to assist in issue resolution and performance monitoring. Safeguarding cloud infrastructure and applications to comply with security standards by managing access controls, firewalls, and encryption both at rest and in transit. Working closely with diverse teams including developers, QA engineers, product managers, and operations personnel to facilitate clear communication and collaboration throughout the software development life cycle. Reducing cloud costs by identifying and addressing cost inefficiencies using tools like Azure Cost Management. I have effectively implemented cost-saving measures such as resource rightsizing and utilizing Azure reserved instances. Show less
