Confidential, CA

Sr. DevOps Engineer

Responsibilities:

I was contracted by Confidential to repair infrastructure issues and to prepare for containerization and migration to AWS-backed Kubernetes clusters in order to reduce substantial technology costs.
A majority of my contracted time was utilized towards dockerizing manually deployed healthcare stacks and creating CI/CD pipelines to reduce deployment times significantly.
During my initial 3-month contract, I re-engineered a majority of their healthcare stacks and began the migration of the staging and some production environments.
As a result, my contract was extended an additional three months with intent of full-time permanent, unfortunately, the contract was abruptly ended due to financial constraints.
