Over a decade in software and infrastructure

• Retired Jenkins company-wide, moving every build and deploy job onto TeamCity and the internal deployment system.
• Designed the migration for 297 serverless stacks owned by 13 teams. Teams ran it themselves with self-service scripts that scanned each stack and output the exact steps and the infrastructure team handled the Terraform side.
• Led the “build once, deploy anywhere” packaging model for ECS, EKS, Lambda and frontends, from design to implementation with several teams.
• Gave a tech talk on the frontend version in March 2025.
• Moved 35 components from Jenkins to TeamCity and 25 onto the internal deployment system, cutting P95 deployment time by 8 minutes 41 seconds.
• Cut on-demand test environment start time from over 25 minutes to about 5, at lower cost per environment.
• Led the Bitbucket to GitHub migration for around 500 repositories. Live sync let teams move tooling first and developers after. The teams ran their own moves.
• Built a shared AI platform on AWS Bedrock and EKS, with a LiteLLM gateway for cost control and per-team keys, deployed with Argo CD. It now runs internal tools like an AI PR reviewer, n8n automations and an internal AI assistant. A teammate built the LiteLLM and Onyx pieces from the plan.
• Set up the company MCP gateway on FastMCP. Once it reached 92 tools, I moved them behind search and call tools so an agent loads only the tools it needs.
• Ran the rollout of an AI-assisted development toolchain to around 28 engineering teams, with an onboarding call for each team and a self-serve adoption plan.
• Built a TeamCity build compliance dashboard in Metabase that flagged 873 policy findings (agent pools, concurrency, VCS polling) as a starting baseline.
• Built and later migrated the multi-region production deployments.
• Managed Cloudflare for 15+ domains: DNS, Workers, rate limiting, region locking for compliance and region-based traffic routing.
• Moving container images from acquired companies into the central ECR registry as part of bringing them onto shared systems.

• Built CI/CD pipelines on AWS CodeDeploy and Bitbucket Pipelines, with tests running before a release. Deployment time came down 60%.
• Right-sized systems from performance testing and tuned the ALB scaling policies. Monthly infrastructure cost came down 20%, with the platform staying up during traffic spikes.
• Designed the microservices architecture for the eCommerce platform.
• Introduced Docker containers for local development, debugging and feature testing.
• Put network access controls in front of the servers and closed direct access.
• Set up automated monitoring.

• Built microservices and a high-throughput RabbitMQ queue for third-party data sync. Order processing came out 40% faster.
• Built a RabbitMQ producer-consumer setup moving order data between the storefront and the order management system.
• Optimized backend services and APIs, taking 30% off average response time.
• Built self-order cancellation and rolled it out in multiple regions, which took 15% off customer service workload.
• Managed the Daraz Digital Goods Platform in 5 South Asian markets.

• Delivered 15+ eCommerce projects working with cross-continental teams.
• Page loads came out 40% faster for major clients, from database optimization, caching and server-side improvements.
• Built payment gateway integrations for eCommerce platforms.
• Earned the Magento Certified Developer Plus certification while I was there.
