Acomplishments
While working with Kijiji, I got to work on services migration to GCP. After migration, we upgraded the infra and optimized services resources that helped in 40% cost reduction. We also investigated and optimised cloud SQL instances memory translating to cost reduction.
While working with Walmart we developed the Nextgen cloud-based layaway system. I participated in all aspects of design, architecture, and microservices development. I understood their infrastructure and DevOps strategies and developed a CI/CD pipeline. It's a huge accomplishment to work on a large-scale system and rolled out in the physical store.
