Work Experience
Cloud / DevOps Intern — Brightfold Systems
Jan 2026 – Apr 2026
Remote
- Containerized 4 internal microservices with multi-stage Dockerfiles, shrinking image sizes ~62% (480MB → 180MB) and trimming cold-start time.
- Authored a GitHub Actions pipeline with build, test and image-scan stages, cutting manual deploy steps from 9 to 1 and release time to under 6 minutes.
- Provisioned a staging environment on AWS with Terraform (VPC, EC2, S3, IAM), replacing click-ops and making the setup reproducible in ~4 minutes.
- Added Prometheus + Grafana dashboards and 5 alert rules, surfacing 2 memory leaks before they reached the production candidate.
Projects
KubeShelf — containerized URL shortener — auto-scales 2→6 pods
Dockerized Go + PostgreSQL service deployed to a 3-node Kubernetes cluster with autoscaling.
- Wrote Kubernetes manifests and a Helm chart with liveness/readiness probes and an HPA scaling 2→6 pods under load.
- Built a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline that builds, scans and rolls out images on every merge, with automatic rollback on failed health checks.
Tech: Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, GitHub Actions
TerraNest — one-command AWS environment — ~5 min full env
Modular Terraform stack that stands up a monitored 3-tier app environment on AWS.
- Modularized VPC, ECS, RDS and CloudWatch into reusable Terraform modules with remote state in S3 and DynamoDB locking.
- Reduced environment provisioning from a ~2-hour manual checklist to a single `terraform apply` completing in ~5 minutes.
Tech: Terraform, AWS, IaC, CloudWatch
