Experience

DevOps Engineer
Ash Nelson Partners
2022 - 2023
Addressed challenges in real-time data retrieval between the Fraud Detection multi-node cluster and its Anti-Money Laundering (AML) extension enabling faster fraud case expansion for analysts • Developed and maintained CI/CD pipelines automating integrations between the Fraud Detection tool, Directory Services (LDAP), and AML application. Streamlined deployment on both VMs and Kubernetes clusters, cutting deployment time from ~2 hours to 25 minutes and reducing integration errors by ~70 % • Integrated Apache JMeter scripts into CI/CD workflows to simulate concurrent user loads and traffic spikes. This provided pre-deployment performance insights, decreasing production latency issues by ~25 % and improving confidence in release readiness • Implemented an ETL pipeline to extract and standardize transaction data from distributed event-streaming systems for warehousing and dashboard analytics which enabled real-time visibility into thousands of events per hour • Administered Identity and Access Management (IAM) using Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and least-privilege principles which strengthened infrastructure security posture and cut access- related incident tickets by ~60 % • Optimized database configuration and schema updates for the AML application to improve responsiveness which achieved faster query performance • Managed version control systems and enforced security best practices across development environments which reduced code exposure risk and ensured consistent compliance with internal DevSecOps policies • Integrated legacy banking systems with the Fraud Detection cluster via secure API enhancing interoperability ensuring reliable multi-system communication • Led cross-functional collaboration with developers, cybersecurity analysts, and business stakeholders to troubleshoot production challenges which shortened issue triage time by ~30 % and improved delivery predictability across teams • Conducted incident investigations and developed incident-response playbooks. Lowered mean-time-to-recovery (MTTR) by ~25 %, improving overall system availability to 99.9 %. • Deployed AML applications in client environments and handled post-deployment customer support and root-cause analysis. Reduced repeated field incidents by ~50 % within two release cycles and improved client satisfaction scores.
