Experience
Software Development Engineer (Full Stack & DevOps)
- Converted to full-time immediately after internship completion; took on progressively greater ownership of deployment, infrastructure, and release management alongside full-stack development.
- Own the end-to-end deployment pipeline for production services — containerizing full-stack apps (React.js, Next.js, Node.js, Express.js) with Docker and deploying on AWS EC2.
- Automated build, test, and deployment workflows with GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines, cutting manual release effort and deployment errors.
- Configured NGINX as a reverse proxy and load balancer for containerized services, improving availability and response handling.
- Designed and optimized 500+ REST APIs integrated with MySQL and SQL Server; led database schema optimization to reduce query latency and redundancy.
- Independently upskilled in Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, and observability tooling to modernize deployment practices beyond the existing Docker/EC2 setup, applying it directly to production-style personal infrastructure projects.
Software Engineering Intern (Frontend & Backend)
- Built frontend features (React.js, Next.js) and backend REST APIs (Node.js, Express.js) for production client applications.
- Gained hands-on exposure to Docker and AWS EC2 deployments, laying the foundation for the DevOps ownership taken on in the full-time role.
- Converted to a full-time Software Development Engineer role immediately upon internship completion (Aug 2023).
Web Development Intern
- Collaborated on developing and deploying responsive web applications using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP.
DevOps Projects
Wanderlust — End-to-End DevSecOps on AWS EKS
Deployed a 3-tier MERN app end-to-end on AWS EKS with a full DevSecOps pipeline: Jenkins CI, SonarQube quality gates, OWASP + Trivy security scanning, ArgoCD GitOps deployment, and a Helm-based Prometheus/Grafana monitoring stack.
View Repo ↗MERN Real-Time Chat App — DevOps Transformation
Devopsified an existing production-style MERN chat app end-to-end: containerized the React frontend (multi-stage Docker build served via NGINX) and Node.js/Express backend, deployed both to a self-managed Kubernetes cluster on AWS EC2, and built a Jenkins CI/CD pipeline with SonarQube quality gates and Trivy vulnerability scanning gating every deploy — plus Prometheus/Grafana for cluster observability.
View Repo ↗Terraform AWS Infrastructure Automation
Full AWS network provisioned as reusable Terraform modules — VPC with public/private subnets across 2 AZs, IGW, NAT Gateway, route tables, and security groups. Remote state in S3 with DynamoDB locking, and workspaces for isolated dev/staging/prod environments from the same module code.
