TECHNICAL PROJECTS
Django/MySQL Application on Kubernetes
Docker | Kubernetes | Helm | Nginx Ingress | RBAC
• Deployed a containerized Django/MySQL application to a multi-node kind cluster using Deployment, StatefulSet, Services and
Ingress.
• Configured HPA for 2–5 replicas, PV/PVC storage, ConfigMaps, Secrets, readiness/liveness probes and RBAC with
ServiceAccount, Role and RoleBinding.
• Controlled pod scheduling with affinity/anti-affinity and taints/tolerations; diagnosed Pending, CrashLoopBackOff and
NotReady states through kubectl logs, events, DNS and service checks.
Azure Infrastructure with Terraform
Terraform | Microsoft Azure | Azure CLI | PowerShell
• Provisioned Azure Resource Groups, networking, VMs and storage resources with Terraform and AzureRM in hands-on labs.
• Migrated Terraform state to Azure Blob Storage, used Service Principal authentication and created reusable modules with
variables and outputs.
• Used Terraform provisioners to install Nginx on a Linux VM and deploy a custom default page in a lab environment.
CI/CD Automation
GitHub Actions | Docker | Helm | Python
• Built GitHub Actions workflows for Python linting/testing, Docker workflows, Helm validation and environment-specific
deployment tasks.
• Applied reusable workflows and pre-deployment checks with helm lint, template and dry-run to catch configuration errors
earlier.
Monitoring & Database Automation
Prometheus | Grafana | Alertmanager | Bash | MySQL
• Worked with Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboards and Alertmanager rules in Kubernetes monitoring labs.
• Automated MySQL backup/restore with Bash and mysqldump, including full and data-only recovery with restored-data
validation.
