Graduate Product Engineer

Aug 2022 - Mar 2023
  • Built Kubernetes Vulnerability Scanner for automated weekly vulnerability assessments using tools including Trivy, Kubeaudit, and Kube_bench, deployed to airflow. Developed a way to securely connect to the production clusters.
  • Implemented a web-based Kubernetes user interface with multiple-level role access, attached a Tailscale sidecar for the interface to be accessible just via internal VPN using Terraform.
  • Implemented alarms for failed Kubernetes nodes (failing status check) in ASG (auto-scaling groups) and per node.
  • Built new monitoring infrastructure: installed cluster-level Prometheus instances, AWS-managed Grafana, and Prometheus (AMP) using Terraform.
  • Built a pipeline to transfer data related to metrics from cluster-level Prometheus instances to AWS-managed Prometheus instance, utilized those to generate dashboards in Grafana using AMP as the primary data source using Terraform and Helm.
  • Built custom dashboards to generate meaningful insights from the collected metrics.
  • Worked on adding support for Hightouch integration in the Paradime Ecosystem.
