Professional Experience

VistaJet · Cloud DevOps Engineer

Fort Lauderdale, FL (Remote) · Oct 2022 - Present
  • Owned the cutover plan for a zero-downtime migration of production workloads from a self-managed Kubernetes platform to Amazon EKS, using blue-green deployments and rollback validation, with no customer-facing downtime.
  • Cut AWS spend 18 percent across EC2 and EBS by right-sizing instances, cleaning up orphaned volumes, and rolling out tag-based resource governance.
  • Reduced mean time to recovery 40 percent by unifying observability on CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki with PagerDuty alerting.
  • Built GitLab CI/CD pipelines covering automated testing, container builds, Trivy scanning, and progressive deploys to dev, staging, and production.
  • Implemented ArgoCD GitOps workflows that deliver Helm releases across environments with version-controlled, auditable change history.
  • Built reusable Terraform modules for EKS, VPC, IAM, RDS, and Secrets Manager, with remote state in S3 and DynamoDB and CI-based plan workflows.
  • Supported RDS upgrades and disaster recovery for business-critical databases, focused on cutover planning, replication checks, and rollback readiness.
  • Partnered with security to remediate Wiz findings and supported SOC 2 audit evidence collection, and authored on-call runbooks and standardized Helm charts.
