Asaph Tejou Danchi

- Mentored individuals through personalized one-on-one sessions, enabling them to secure roles in Cloud and DevOps. - Developed a structured mentorship curriculum covering AWS, Micro-service, CI/CD pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC), improving mentee skill. - Designed hands-on projects for mentees, simulating real-world Cloud and DevOps challenges to enhance job readiness and practical expertise. - Supported mentees in building their LinkedIn profiles and personal branding strategies. - Built a professional network for mentees, connecting them with Cloud and DevOps professionals for career guidance and opportunities.

. Skilled in using documentation tools like Confluence, Microsoft Word and Google Docs for clear and organized content. • Experienced in collaborating with cross-functional teams to gather requirements and translate them into clear, actionable documents. • In-depth knowledge of Agile frameworks like Scrum and Kanban with hands-on experience in project delivery in Agile environments. • Proficient in Agile tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps for sprint planning, backlog management, and progress tracking. • Strong ability to adapt to changing priorities and manage project scope in dynamic Agile environments. • Created the Dockerfile to build the frontend application and using GitHub action to deploy containers into EC2 instance • Created the Dockerfile to build the Backend application. • Worked on different code scanning tool to see which one is best for our projects. • Implemented Sonar Cloud to scan our application code and spot out Vulnerabilities, Risk and bugs in our application. • Implemented Trivy scan to scan the application build image to meet the best security standard. • Redeployed the UAT and Production environment to meet the well architected framework. • Implemented the CICD using GitHub action to automate the continues deployment of our application to the DEV, UAT and PROD environment. • Automated the build and deployment of the frontend and backend application to store the docker image in AWS ECR and making use of AWS ECS to host the frontend and backend as micro-service. • Worked with and had several meetings with the developer to troubleshoot and fixed issue and bugs we encounter during the build and deployment of the application. • Implemented and deploy our infrastructure as code using Terraform. • Implemented best security standard by storing our environmental variable in GitHub secrets and variable and storing our application credential such as payment ID in AWS secret manager.

•Conducted the Mirroring and Synchronization of repository from Bitbucket to GitHub •Added an SSO user to two or more projects in a MongoDB environment •Created a cron job to schedule a date and time for patching • Documented projects and troubleshooting solutions

Conducted assessments and developed recommendations for optimizing AWS infrastructure and reducing costs. • Implemented security best practices in AWS including multi factor authentication, access key rotation, role-based permissions, encryption using KMS, enforced strong password policy, configured security groups and NACLs, S3 bucket policies and ACLs. • Architected and configured Dev / Stage / QA environments in AWS (VPC, subnets, security groups, EC2 instances, load balancer, RDS, Redis, route53, etc.). • Carried out homogeneous and heterogenous database migrations across same and different engines. • knowledge on Security automation, ensuring compliance, protecting networks, data and auto remediation using AWS SNS, SQS, and monitoring using CloudWatch • Optimized cost through reserved instances, selection and changing of EC2 instance types based on resource need, S3 storage classes and S3 lifecycle policies, leveraging Autoscaling. • Leveraged EC2 Lifecycle Manager to create snapshots of EBS Volumes on scheduled intervals for backup and define a retention period as a cost saving measure. • Developed and created custom Service Control Policies and attached them to approved OUs and AWS accounts as required

Responsible for creating Security Groups as well as Network access control lists, load balancers in the defined virtual private network and responsible for creating CloudWatch alarms, event and notifications using SNS Ensured data recoverability by implementing systems snapshot, AMIs, RDS Replicas, and application-level backup to S3. Optimized cost through reserved instances, selection and changing of EC2 instance types based on resource need, S3 storage classes and S3 lifecycle policies, leveraging Autoscaling. Leveraged EC2 Lifecycle Manager to create snapshots of EBS Volumes on scheduled intervals for backup and define a retention period as a cost saving measure. Managed provisioning of AWS infrastructures using both Terraform and CloudFormation Used Cloud Watch to set alarms, generate notifications and remediate potential security lapses in the AWS environment. Developed and maintained deploy jobs for application code deployment across all environments using automation tools like Jenkins, GitHub, Ansible and Docker Configured CloudWatch alarm rules for monitoring and operational performance for logs, metrics and events for AWS resources and applications
