Featured Projects
Design infrastructure for an e-commerce website for an instrument-selling company, Laravel and BigCommerce [US Based Client]
I implemented Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) to containerize and orchestrate Laravel application workloads, ensuring scalability and high availability, while automating build and deployment pipelines using Bitbucket pipeline integrated with repository. I configured Azure Application Gateway and Ingress Controllers for secure traffic routing and load balancing, managed Azure Database for MySQL – Flexible Server with caching via Redis for optimized performance, and integrated Azure Key Vault for secure handling of secrets and credentials. Additionally, I deployed centralized logging and monitoring with Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Prometheus/Grafana, and enabled autoscaling for nodes. etc.
Design infrastructure for an e-commerce website for Toys selling comapany, Laravel and BigCommerce [US Based Client]
Engineered a multi-tier AWS architecture utilizing VPC, ECS Fargate, and IAM to support a scalable Laravel and BigCommerce backend, while automating end-to-end CI/CD workflows through Bitbucket Pipelines. By developing multi-stage Docker builds for PHP-FPM and Nginx and managing images via Amazon ECR, I ensured seamless container orchestration and environment consistency. Additionally, I optimized Amazon RDS and ElastiCache for high-concurrency traffic and implemented comprehensive CloudWatch monitoring to provide full-stack visibility
