Projects

This portfolio showcases a wide array of real-world projects that reflect my deep expertise in cloud computing, DevOps automation, cybersecurity architecture, and hybrid infrastructure design. Each project represents a practical implementation of industry-grade technologies and tools that are used to solve critical enterprise challenges, ensure scalability, and enhance system reliability. These implementations go beyond theoretical understanding, combining hands-on configuration with strategic design decisions. The aim is to provide valuable insights into how modern IT systems can be optimized, automated, and secured using cutting-edge platforms like AWS, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, Splunk, Prometheus, and VMware vSphere. These projects have been developed and demonstrated not only for academic enrichment but also as foundational blueprints for professional deployment in cloud-native and hybrid environments.

Static Website Hosting on Amazon S3

Serverless hosting using S3 buckets, CloudFront CDN, ACM SSL/TLS, Route 53 DNS, and Git versioning. Policies applied for secure static site delivery.

Disaster Recovery System using AWS

Multi-region DR with EC2 AMIs, RDS snapshots, S3 backups, and Route 53 failover. CloudWatch and Lambda automate DR response workflows.

CI/CD with Jenkins, Docker & Kubernetes

Automated deployments from GitHub to AWS EKS. Jenkins builds, Docker containers pushed to ECR, Helm used for Kubernetes deployment.

SoC Implementation with Prometheus & Grafana

Real-time dashboards using Prometheus exporters, Grafana, alertmanager and PromQL. Simulates full-scale Security Operations Center.

Log Monitoring using Splunk

Log ingestion from multi-source endpoints, parsing, correlation, detection of brute-force and insider threats. Custom dashboards and alerts created.

Intrusion Detection using Snort

IDS rules created to detect port scans, ICMP floods, and TCP exploits. Logs visualized via BASE. Real-world security scenarios configured.

Hybrid Cloud via OpenSWAN

Secure IPsec tunnels between VirtualBox and AWS. Site-to-site encryption configured with OpenSWAN and pfSense integration tested.

VPC Peering (Intra & Inter-Region)

AWS VPC connections built with DNS resolution and route propagation. EC2 connectivity validated. Terraform used for automation.

DRS in vSphere (VCSA)

vSphere DRS setup with vMotion under stress testing. Automated resource balancing among ESXi hosts using synthetic load and SLA validation.
