Kevin Alva

I’m a Senior Site Reliability Engineer with 7+ years of experience building secure, scalable cloud infrastructure across AWS and Azure. I focus on Infrastructure as Code with Terraform to standardize CI/CD workflows, improve deployment reliability, and reduce manual operational effort. I’ve also helped teams move faster by creating common and self-service stage deployments using Bitbucket Pipelines based on PR comments.

I’m hands-on with observability and performance—implementing monitoring and alerting with Datadog, Dynatrace, and CloudWatch to track application health, infrastructure metrics, and logs. I lead incident response, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis (RCA), including resolving P1 incidents tied to EKS/ECS misconfigurations and bot attacks. I also automate security and operational workflows (WAF rules, alerts, and Terraform/Ansible upgrades), and I’ve recently worked on Generative AI platform infrastructure on Amazon Bedrock with monitoring and secure IAM best practices.
