@andrewward

Senior DevOps Engineer who streamlined Aunalytics banking analytics releases and cut production recovery time from 45 minutes to 15.

Message

At Aunalytics, I standardized releases for banking analytics services with Bitbucket Pipelines, Docker, and ECS Fargate, moving four engineering teams from weekly to twice-weekly deployments.

I automated client analytics environment provisioning with Terraform across AWS VPC, RDS PostgreSQL, and S3, reducing setup time from two days to roughly three hours. I also decoupled transaction ingestion from reporting with Lambda, SQS, and EventBridge.

To improve production reliability, I introduced automated smoke tests and tested rollback procedures that shortened recovery from failed releases from roughly 45 to 15 minutes. I also diagnosed ECS Fargate task failures using CloudWatch logs and Datadog metrics.

At ABOUT, I rebuilt CI/CD workflows for hospital applications with GitHub Actions and Docker. Earlier, at Arcoro, I streamlined releases for construction workforce management applications using Jenkins, Bash, and Git.
