Cloud Operations Engineer
IBM Solutions Delivery Inc. · Philippines
AWS GCP Jenkins JFrog Venafi Terraform C# ASP.NET Web Forms
  • Managed the complete lifecycle of SSL/TLS certificates, including creation, renewal, and revocation, deploying them directly on AWS and coordinating with network teams for F5 load balancer integrations to maintain zero certificate expiry incidents across production systems.
  • Maintained and updated DNS configurations via Terraform scripts, reducing manual change implementation time and ensuring rapid, auditable infrastructure updates for global production environments.
  • Handled the deprovisioning of decommissioned GCP projects using Terraform to optimize cloud resource utilization and reduce unnecessary infrastructure costs across multi-cloud environments.
  • Supported enterprise DevOps toolchains including Jenkins, JFrog Artifactory, and Venafi, ensuring high availability and operational continuity for global engineering teams relying on automated build and deployment pipelines.
  • Served as the primary triage point for cloud infrastructure incidents, systematically routing complex issues to network and cloud enablement teams, reducing escalation time and improving incident resolution outcomes.
  • Authored and maintained technical runbooks and operational documentation, significantly reducing Mean Time To Resolution (MTTR) for recurring server and toolchain support issues across cross-functional teams.
  • Developed C# console applications to automate repetitive cloud operational workflows, increasing backend process efficiency and reducing manual intervention for routine tasks.
Jul 2019 – Dec 2023
Full-Stack Developer
IBM Solutions Delivery Inc. · Philippines
C# ASP.NET Web Forms .NET Core AngularJS Angular SQL Server
  • Onboarded to an active legacy application migration from ASP.NET, jQuery, and AngularJS to .NET Core and Angular at the 25 percent completion mark, driving the development and delivery of all subsequent project phases to production.
  • Refactored legacy codebases into modern .NET Core and Angular architectures, applying targeted performance optimizations to improve application responsiveness, code maintainability, and long-term scalability.
  • Developed Angular frontend interfaces optimized to consume .NET Core RESTful APIs, collaborating directly with backend engineers to streamline data payloads and reduce client-side rendering overhead.
  • Developed, modified, and optimized SQL stored procedures and database views, upgrading legacy database archiving scripts to ensure strict regulatory compliance and data integrity across production systems.
  • Researched and executed a major Angular version upgrade, producing comprehensive technical documentation that enabled stakeholders to evaluate business impact and plan deployment timelines with confidence.
  • Participated in Agile and Scrum ceremonies, consistently delivering biweekly sprint demonstrations and detailed progress updates to product owners to maintain project alignment and visibility.

Software Engineer
Blotocol Philippines Inc. · Philippines
C# JavaScript TypeScript SQL ASP.NET MVC .NET Core AngularJS Angular ReactJS SQL Server Postgres AWS S3 Selenium
  • Developed and optimized full-stack application features using .NET Core and Angular, configuring request pipelines, applying industry best practices, and systematically refactoring code to improve application performance and long-term maintainability.
  • Designed and managed relational database schemas in MS SQL Server and PostgreSQL, creating tables, defining complex relationships, and developing stored procedures and views to support core business requirements.
  • Improved application performance by integrating SignalR for real-time rendering, implementing caching strategies, and establishing database indexing to reduce query latency and eliminate boxing/unboxing overhead.
  • Built and scaled a proprietary e-commerce platform using .NET MVC, managing end-to-end feature development, system documentation, and rapid resolution of production issues to maintain service availability.
  • Developed front-end architecture for a casino application using ReactJS, consuming complex data structures from a GraphQL backend to deliver responsive and interactive user interfaces.
  • Secured application assets by integrating AWS S3 for scalable image storage and access control, ensuring proper permissions and reducing infrastructure exposure for user-generated content.
