  • Cloud infrastructure modernization and security/scalability improvements (Vonage)
  • Reduced deployment time by driving reusable Terraform modules and blue-green deployment approach
  • Strong production incident debugging in distributed networking (reproduced TCP timeouts with iptables; identified NAT gateway as root cause)
  • API scalability improvements by separating authentication from core business logic based on traffic/log analysis
