I move production workloads onto Kubernetes and keep them running.
Hi, I'm Mohammed Usman Shaik, a Software Engineer (DevOps) with 3.5 years at Mars Track Technologies. I run AWS EKS, Terraform and Jenkins pipelines for ERP and financial APIs, and I still write the backend code behind them.
$ terraform plan # review before every apply Plan: 0 to add, 2 to change, 0 to destroy $ kubectl get deploy -n backend NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE erp-api 3/3 3 3 fin-api 3/3 3 3 $ kubectl get pods # self-healing on erp-api-7d9f Running restarts: 0 manual $ jenkins build # SUCCESS → deployed
From writing the APIs to running them
I started as a full-stack intern and now own how our backend services are built, shipped and recovered.
At Mars Track Technologies I moved Dockerized EC2 workloads to AWS EKS so crashed workloads recover on their own and nobody restarts them by hand. I manage the AWS and Kubernetes resources with Terraform and read every plan before it is applied.
I also moved our CI/CD from GitHub Actions to Jenkins and Docker for better control over the build and Kubernetes deployment flow, and I fixed the environment inconsistencies that blocked automated deployments across about 20 applications.
Because I came up through backend work, I can debug an authentication bug, a slow SQL query or a broken deployment in the same afternoon. That is what I want to bring to a DevOps, Cloud or Platform team.

Monitoring
Backend
Experience
Three years and eight months at one company, with a bigger scope each year.
Software Engineer (DevOps)
- Moved Dockerized EC2 applications to AWS EKS with automated workload recovery, which removed manual restarts and improved scalability.
- Manage AWS and Kubernetes resources with Terraform for 2 backend applications, reviewing every plan before it is applied.
- Put NGINX in front of Kubernetes-managed instances as a reverse proxy, removing single points of failure for the microservices.
Software Engineer (DevOps and Backend)
- Moved 2 backend applications from GitHub Actions to Jenkins and Docker, giving the team clearer control and visibility from build to Kubernetes deployment.
- Standardized the CI/CD pipeline for about 20 applications by fixing environment inconsistencies, so deployments run automatically.
- Added a reusable global API approach across about 800 REST APIs, cutting repeated code and making them easier to maintain.
- Added validation, error handling and logging to 800+ endpoints, which shortened troubleshooting time.
- Cut ERP transaction API latency by 25% by analyzing and reworking relational queries and schema.
- Fixed a role-based access bug by debugging the authentication middleware and correcting a misaligned permission flow.
- Moved 2 Docker workloads for critical ERP and financial data to Kubernetes, using log analysis to make them reliable.
Software Engineer Intern (Full-Stack)
- Built user-facing features on the MERN stack and improved user engagement by 50%.
- Developed REST APIs with Node.js and Express.js that cut API response times by 20%.
Web Development Intern
- Built and deployed 3+ responsive web applications with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP.
Projects
Personal builds where I practice the full path from code to a monitored cluster.
Node.js backend on EKS, built with Terraform and Jenkins
A Node 20 Express backend containerized and deployed to EKS in us-east-1 through a Jenkins pipeline, with the infrastructure defined in Terraform. Works end to end and is being extended with Prometheus and Grafana dashboards.
View repositoryWanderlust: DevSecOps on AWS EKS
A 3-tier MERN app deployed to EKS with Jenkins CI, SonarQube quality gates, OWASP and Trivy scanning, ArgoCD GitOps and a Helm-based Prometheus and Grafana stack.
View repositoryRealtime chat app, DevOps makeover
Containerized a MERN chat app (multi-stage build, NGINX for the frontend), ran it on self-managed Kubernetes on EC2, and gated every deploy with SonarQube and Trivy in Jenkins.
View repositoryTerraform AWS network automation
A reusable VPC module with public and private subnets across 2 AZs, IGW, NAT gateway and security groups. State lives in S3 with DynamoDB locking, and workspaces separate dev, staging and prod.
