Bilal Waheed

Key highlights from my current role: - Kubernetes: CKA certified. I manage Kubernetes workloads in production, configure deployments, services, and resource limits using k9s and Helm. - Terraform & Ansible: I provision and automate AWS infrastructure (VPC, IAM, EC2, ELB, S3, CloudWatch, CloudTrail) using Terraform, and handle zero-downtime deployments with Ansible. - Python & Bash Automation: I author Python and Bash scripts daily to automate operational tasks, reducing manual toil across our infrastructure. - CI/CD Pipelines: I design and maintain pipelines across Jenkins, GitLab CI, and GitHub Actions for multiple production applications. - Monitoring: Full-stack observability using ELK Stack, Prometheus, and Grafana — real-time dashboards for log analysis, metrics, and system performance. - Security: Responded to critical security incidents — CVE remediation, rpcbind/Portmapper mitigation, and Docker log rotation fixes on Linux servers.
