Cloud Engineer – Resume Sample in PDF

• I took the internal opportunity to transfer to a business area more focused on cloud (both private on-prem and AWS) and pure systems administration to advance my career.
• The areas of work in the Tooling Team included:
– Shared services used in on-prem cloud including orchestration (Puppet and Mesos masters), key-value storage, network and
firewall controlling APIs, as well as internal tools for developers; systems were deployed from Infrastructure as Code (IaaC)
using Puppet.
– Decommissioning of the aforementioned on-prem cloud, including sunsetting and coordination with users.
– Managing Docker Registry and artifact storage, initially a mixture of on-prem solution with public cloud, later migrated to a
cloud-native cluster.
– Supporting and configuring the company Git server infrastructure, first on-prem and later migrated to a SaaS solution.
– Establishing company-wide code patterns for both IaaC with Terraform and CI/CD pipelines.
• It is important to mention that AWS networking and account governance is handled by a separate central team, therefore my experience gained here is focused mostly on compute and storage-related services.

• Maintained and improved operational processes for a broad range of Big Data processing systems.

• Offered technical leadership for several DevOps engineers, working closely with software developers, mainly around CI/CD and infrastructure.

• Created Infrastructure-as-Code foundations for MS Windows and Linux-based systems running on VMware clusters, primarily using Ansible.
• Maintained the local Azure DevOps (formerly Team Foundations Server – TFS) instance, and improved build and deployment pipelines.

• Package management

• Developed and maintained project code using:
– Bash

• Problem resolution at later stages, including routine maintenance tasks and investigations in cooperation with SMEs.
• Planned and executed advanced network maintenances, including:
– Remote switch-overs
– Safety checks
• Conducted in-depth issue analysis and communicated with various vendors.
• Participated in incident management from a platform point of view.
• Gained further internal certifications over the last 9 months to:
– Approve non-standard operations of fellow Platform Operations Engineers

– Deploy network-wide configuration changes
– Serve as backup Technical Incident Manager (company-wide, up to Sev2)
