Platform Engineering Lead / Principal Infrastructure Architect
Delivered enterprise-grade infrastructure for SaaS platform in 39 days (15x faster than industry standard), enabling zero-downtime migration.
Infrastructure & Architecture: Architected & implemented complete AWS multi-environment using Terraform with 32 reusable modules, 4-bucket state management, lifecycle protection and parallel drift detection. Built full-stack cloud services: VPC networking (multi-AZ subnets, VPC peering), compute (ECS Fargate auto-scaling, Lambda with ALB/API Gateway), data (RDS PostgreSQL multi-AZ, ElastiCache Redis), CDN (CloudFront with OAC, custom WAF), and security services (GuardDuty, Config, Security Hub, CloudTrail).
Observability & Automation: Comprehensive monitoring with 121 CloudWatch alarms across 12 AWS services, 18 EventBridge rules, 9 log metric filters, and 11 Slack notification channels via Lambda formatters. Developed 76 standardized operational scripts for deployment, drift detection, security auditing, and backup management, achieving 95% operational automation. Created 40+ technical documentation files including architecture guides, runbooks, and deployment procedures.
Security & Compliance: Multi-layer security with OWASP WAF, 100% data encryption at rest and in transit, Cognito with Google OAuth, and least-privilege IAM policies. Successfully executed complex cross-account Cognito user pool migration with zero downtime. All secured with automated auditing and compliance monitoring.
Impact: Reduced future infrastructure deployment time by 90%. Established operational excellence enabling rapid service scaling while maintaining enterprise-grade reliability and security.
