- Dockerized the entire stack and implemented seamless CI/CD pipelines using special deployment strategies to ensure zero downtime during rollouts.
- Handled CDN and server security, improved backend responsiveness from 45 to over 1000 requests per second, and optimized resource usage to below 25%.
- Implemented DDoS protection and scalable infrastructure despite the system’s monolithic origins.
-
WordPress Performance Optimization
- Optimized a WordPress site’s response time from 12 seconds to 2 seconds on VPS, enhancing GTmetrix scores from F to D.
-
Dockerization & CI/CD
- Dockerized multiple projects with minimal image sizes and automated deployment to private registries.
- Streamlined multi-environment CI/CD processes to enable rapid deployments.
-
Code Security & Quality Assurance
- Integrated SonarQube and vulnerability scanning tools into CI/CD pipelines to ensure code quality and secure codebases.
-
Custom Testing Framework Integration
- Integrated test scripts, developed by various department heads, into CI/CD pipelines to provide real-time feedback on code stability and functionality during the development lifecycle.
-
Advanced Logging & Monitoring
- Designed a robust logging and monitoring system with Sentry and ELK Stack, ensuring real-time issue tracking and granular visibility into application performance.
- Implemented log rotation and access management to optimize log processing and storage.
-
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
- Developed a comprehensive RBAC system for CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure, allowing granular access to logs, monitoring dashboards, and deployment reports.
- Enabled developers and stakeholders to access relevant data and self-troubleshoot issues without escalating to higher roles.
-
Server-Side Caching
- Implemented intelligent caching mechanisms to reduce response times and boost application performance.
-
Custom Notification Systems
- Built notification integrations for Slack, Telegram, Discord, and email with detailed context, user activity tracking, and push details.
-
Automation & Infrastructure Management
- Automated routine tasks with scripts and Ansible playbooks, covering auto-backup, firewall rule updates, and server maintenance.
-
Advanced Log Monitoring with AI Integration
- Developed an AI-powered monitoring system to analyze logs and identify unusual traffic or suspicious behavior patterns, providing proactive threat detection and alerting.
-
BTC Price Prediction Model
- Created an AI model that performs price prediction for Bitcoin based on historical data, allowing for configurable time-step predictions to assess potential market trends.
-
Hobby Projects
- I have a passion for building innovative solutions using Arduino or electronics and have developed several creative projects available in my GitHub Repositories.
