projects

Advanced DevSecOps & Secure Cloud Automation:

  • Engineered and implemented a robust, multi-layered DevSecOps pipeline by embedding a comprehensive suite of security tools into the CI/CD workflow to "shift security left" and automate vulnerability management.

  • SAST & SCA: Utilized Snyk, Coverity, Semgrep, and SonarQube for static analysis and OWASP Dependency-Check with Trivy for software composition analysis to secure the application code and its supply chain.

  • DAST & IaC Security: Performed dynamic analysis using OWASP ZAP and secured infrastructure code by integrating Tfsec and Terrascan for automated Terraform scanning.

  • Secure Credential-less Automation: Architected a secure framework to deploy a private AKS cluster using GitHub Actions and Azure, establishing an OIDC Federated Identity to eliminate the need for long-lived static secrets.

  • Automated Infrastructure Testing: Implemented Terratest for automated testing of Terraform code, ensuring the integrity and correctness of cloud infrastructure deployments.

Implementing Application Pipelines on TeamCity:

  • The integration of TeamCity pipelines with the GitHub REST API enables the publication of Pull request status updates across multiple repositories following pipeline execution. The implementation involved the use of the argparse and sub-parser Python modules to retrieve TeamCity system parameters and fetch PR review counts. Additionally, a generic and modular Python script was developed to upload dynamic artifacts to JFrog Artifactory. The script allows for parameterization of artifact location, path, quantity, and name via TeamCity. Furthermore, a sophisticated TeamCity Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) workflow was designed to manage multiple pipelines using snapshot dependencies and composite builds

GitHub Actions CI/CD Self-hosted Runner on AWS EKS:

  • Leveraged Kubernetes and Spot Instances on AWS EKS to establish a self-hosted GitHub Actions runner infrastructure, resulting in substantial cost reductions. Implemented a Horizontal Runner Autoscaler to dynamically adjust runners according to workload, thereby enhancing resource allocation and decreasing build/deployment durations for both staging and production environments. Additionally, automated EKS cluster provisioning utilizing Terraform, adhering to best practices, and incorporating remote state management for secure and scalable infrastructure oversight
