Skills, ranked strongest first

  1. RANK1

    Cloud Infrastructure & Linux Operations

    Expert

    Owns and operates a multi-server AWS production fleet end-to-end — from provisioning and patching to incident recovery and cost control.

    • Runs a four-server Amazon EC2 fleet hosting company websites, government utility dashboards, billing software and business apps (PHP, Node.js, Java/Tomcat, MySQL).
    • Manages servers across different Ubuntu LTS lifecycles, including Ubuntu Pro ESM security patching and kernel updates with planned reboots.
    • Automated Let's Encrypt certificate renewal across all domains, with email alerts when a renewal fails.
    • Uses AWS Systems Manager for remote operations and trimmed CloudWatch to free-tier alarms by replacing paid monitoring with in-house tooling.
    • Leads incident investigations: timeline reconstruction, root cause and recovery.

  2. RANK2

    Security Engineering & Governance

    Advanced

    Designed an in-house security platform and applies least-privilege, patching and change-control discipline across the fleet.

    • Architected SISG — Server Infrastructure and Security Gateway: fleet-wide security scoring, agent alerts, daily digests and an AI-assisted fix workflow that requires human approval before changes are applied.
    • Hardened MySQL on every server: root restricted to localhost, least-privilege service accounts scoped per database, failed-login lockout and Fail2Ban.
    • Drives CVE remediation from Amazon Inspector findings and keeps security scores honest — challenged a dashboard that showed "Grade A" next to high-risk findings.
    • Enforces change control on production: owner-approval gates and guard rails against risky OS upgrades.
    • Fixed web vulnerabilities (reflected XSS) and moved hard-coded keys into server-side secret files.

    Product Ownership & UX Quality

    Advanced

    Turns business needs into precise specifications and holds every release to a high bar for usability and accessibility.

    • Owns product direction for three business verticals — technology, solar energy and a non-profit foundation — plus a family heritage portal.
    • Catches accessibility issues others miss, such as low colour contrast in dark and light themes, and insists on consistent UI components.
    • Writes clear functional specs, e.g. login flows that remember the referring page and redirect safely after sign-in.
    • Builds public executive portfolios as HTML with a downloadable PDF, with short, shareable URLs.

    Web Platforms & SEO

    Advanced

    Runs a multi-domain web estate with search visibility, analytics and performance treated as first-class requirements.

    • Multi-domain PHP/MySQL architecture: spoorthy.org, spoorthy.net and spoorthy.in served from one codebase with separate SEO per domain.
    • Resolves Google Search Console issues — canonical tags, 404s and custom 404 pages for each domain.
    • Chooses SEO-safe aliases over redirects where appropriate; maintains sitemaps and structured data.
    • Consolidated Google Analytics into a single shared include and tunes pages against PageSpeed / Core Web Vitals.

    AI-Assisted Software Engineering

    Proficient

    Ships production changes by directing AI coding agents, and builds AI into operations tooling with humans kept in control.

    • Delivers features and fixes across PHP, JavaScript, Python and Bash by directing AI coding agents (Cursor), with 120+ commits to the Spoorthy codebase in 2026.
    • Integrated LLM agents into SISG for playbook matching and fix planning, with read-only diagnostics and user-approved apply.
    • Uses a Git and GitHub workflow with per-repository deploy keys.
