Administered AWS cloud infrastructure (EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, IAM) supporting multiple production environments, managing incidents, service requests, and change requests via Freshservice with full SLA compliance. Performed root cause analysis (RCA) and remediation for EC2, backup, logging, and monitoring issues, including snapshot management, instance right-sizing, and proactive system maintenance. Implemented Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform to provision and manage AWS resources — VPC, subnets, EC2, RDS, S3, IAM, and security groups — across multiple environments. Monitored system health and security posture using AWS CloudWatch, conducting log audits and managing backup policies to ensure compliance, reliability, and cost efficiency. Performed regular patching and maintenance of EC2 instances and ECS container workloads to ensure system security, stability, and compliance with organizational standards. Built and maintained CI/CD pipelines integrated with Docker and Kubernetes to automate containerized application builds, testing, and deployments. Developed Python and Bash automation scripts to streamline routine operational tasks, reducing manual intervention and improving response times.
