DevOps & Infrastructure

Overview

Beyond application development, I take ownership of production systems — ensuring applications are deployed reliably, monitored proactively, and secured properly.

In healthcare research environments where uptime, data integrity, and compliance are critical, I designed and maintained infrastructure that supported high availability, secure deployments, and continuous delivery workflows.

I approach DevOps as a reliability discipline — not just deployment automation.

Problems Solved with DevOps & Infrastructure

1. Reliable CI/CD & Deployment Automation

Manual deployments introduce risk. I implemented CI/CD pipelines that:

  • Automate build, test, and deployment workflows
  • Enforce branch-based Git strategies
  • Reduce human error during releases
  • Enable zero-downtime deployment strategies
  • Support staging and production parity

This significantly improved release confidence and deployment speed.

2. Scalable Cloud Infrastructure

I managed and architected cloud infrastructure using:

  • AWS EC2 for application hosting
  • RDS for managed relational databases
  • S3 for file storage and backups
  • IAM for secure access control
  • Docker for containerized environments
  • Heroku for streamlined PaaS deployments

Infrastructure was designed for scalability, redundancy, and cost efficiency.

3. Database Reliability & Data Protection

For research platforms handling critical data, I implemented:

  • Automated database backups
  • Disaster recovery planning
  • Read replicas for high-read workloads
  • Query performance optimization
  • Secure access control policies

Ensuring long-term data integrity and minimizing downtime risks.

4. Monitoring & Observability

Proactive monitoring prevents costly downtime. I set up:

  • Application performance monitoring
  • Server health monitoring
  • Log aggregation and analysis
  • Alerting systems for failure detection
  • Uptime monitoring services

This enabled early issue detection and faster incident resolution.

5. Security & Compliance

In healthcare environments, infrastructure must meet strict standards. I implemented:

  • SSL/TLS certificate management
  • Secure server configuration (Nginx/Apache hardening)
  • Firewall and network access rules
  • Secure credential management
  • Environment isolation
  • Backup encryption strategies

Supporting HIPAA-conscious development practices and secure data handling.

6. DNS & Multi-Environment Management

I managed domain and DNS configurations across providers, including:

  • Cloudflare
  • GoDaddy
  • AWS Route 53
  • Pantheon-managed environments

Ensuring stable domain routing, SSL enforcement, and proper staging-to- production transitions.

7. Documentation & Operational Readiness

Reliable systems require clear operational processes. I created:

  • Deployment documentation
  • Incident response runbooks
  • Infrastructure diagrams
  • Environment setup guides

Reducing onboarding friction and improving system resilience.

Why DevOps Matters

Strong infrastructure practices enable:

  • Faster, safer deployments
  • Higher system reliability
  • Better security posture
  • Improved developer productivity
  • Reduced operational risk

For production systems serving real users — especially in healthcare — DevOps is not optional. It is foundational.
