• Set up and deployed ArgoCD with GitLab OAuth Integration
• Created a Kubernetes RBAC user and certificate management script to manage user access to a cluster
• Upgraded a hosted GitLab instance
• Simplified GitLab user management by creating groups for various roles
• Rescued a Kubernetes cluster that was unable to accept any nodes to the cluster
• Created an open-source Hugo Theme
• Drove the documentation efforts for a client’s internal processes
• Containerized and launched a NextJS website into production

• Designed the AWS network layout and created a Terraform module that unified the way to deploy new VPCs.
• Successfully migrated a self-hosted Verdaccio registry to GitHub Packages and Git repositories from BitBucket to GitHub.
• Automated Terraform projects using Atlantis and introduced CircleCI to the toolchain, leading to increased efficiency and a better user experience and collaboration.
• Developed a CLI tool (at first in NodeJS, then later in Golang) to unify service packaging and deployment methods across all services, regardless of their backend, leading to standardized and streamlined deployment processes.
• Replaced the need for SSH keys by relying on Hashicorp’s Vault to generate OTPs based on the user’s identity which allowed granular access control to instances and increased security.
• Designed and implemented a highly available, scalable, and stateless infrastructure for Unleash and Vault.
• Conducted in-depth research on Kubernetes (EKS) vs. ECS Fargate to lay the groundwork for microservices, and provided an IaC template that can be reused for any project.
• Developed custom AWS Lambda functions to automate the backup processes for DynamoDB tables and the cleanup of ECR repositories, resulting in improved disaster recovery capabilities and cost savings.
• Implemented a private NPM registry (Verdaccio) and automated license scanning and vulnerability checks in dependencies for increased security and compliance.
• Refactored Terraform workflows to use modules, leading to better maintainability and scalability.
• Automated continuous delivery for Lambdas and Auto Scaling Groups.
• Created a custom Slack integration for Jenkins that included detailed information from each build, improving communication and transparency.
• Implemented a CI/CD system (Jenkins) from the ground up which resulted in increased stability, predictability and frequency of deployments.
• Imported all existing infrastructure to Terraform, ensuring that every IaC is up to date and optimized for maintainability.

During my summer internship,

• I engaged in extensive research on NFV platforms and gained hands-on experience in designing and implementing VNFs.
• I had the opportunity to present my findings on Random Linear Network Coding and the functionalities of the Kodo Network Coding Software Library.
