May 2021 – Present – DevOps Engineer

I am now leading the charge in creating a highly efficient infrastructure through automation with Terraform, and streamlining the development process by establishing robust Build and Release pipelines (CI/CD). By utilizing my expertise in Terraform, I am able to ensure infrastructure consistency and cost-effectiveness while creating efficient CI/CD processes through Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions. In addition to my technical contributions, I am also taking the lead on implementing secure authorization and authentication with Azure Active Directory, and mentoring a small team to drive project success. I was also tasked helping out a big IoT project.First my job was troubleshooting the devices and making them work as expected then I was taksed with creating v2 images with Microsoft IoT Edge and designing the provisioning and commissioning process.

My day to day work contains out of:

  • Talking with tech leads and developers about what needs to be implemented
  • Improving infrastructure and cost management
  • Writing Infrastructure as a Code using Terraform and thus lowering the effort for replicating setup among multiple development environments
  • Writing new terraform modules, improving terraform code, and keeping it up to date with new providers
  • Setting up CI/CD process using Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions
  • Planning and implementation of authorization and authentication with Azure Active Directory which in return removed the need for allowed IP lists.
