- **Reduced deployment time by 66%** by implementing a 
  [solution](https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-operator/commit/175a6356c5474f2360ccb8ae835e0b9b2d653cf1) for deploying locally-compiled binaries onto 
  Kubernetes/OpenShift via command-line, **cutting average 
  deployment times from 45 minutes to 15 minutes**. 
  (**Kubernetes/GoLang** used for this and three below). 
- **Eliminated 80% of manual configuration errors** by enabling 
  the Kubernetes operator to automatically fetch data from 
  deployed services and update configurations, **deprecating 
  legacy startup scripts and reducing overall startup time 
  by 40%**.
- **Improved application stability** by introducing startup 
  probes for legacy applications with longer boot times, 
  **resulting in a 50% reduction in startup-related failures 
  and downtime during production launches**.
- **Enhanced system reliability** by refactoring probes to 
  [assign default values](https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-operator/commit/af4977af228ec8648be28779259d4552246b656f) dynamically based on deployed YAML 
  files and fixing reconciliation issues, **increasing probe 
  accuracy by 30%** and preventing misconfigurations.
- **Increased CI pipeline efficiency** by rewriting the 
  **Jenkins (Groovy)** [nightly pipeline](https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-pipelines/commit/4c83f1aecdea2c1ba2796b79839a90d4083dce88) to run in a GitHub PR 
  environment, allowing for automated testing of all 
  team-submitted PRs prior to merging, **reducing manual 
  intervention by 60%**.
- **Demonstrated leadership and collaboration** by actively 
  contributing to Agile sprint planning in a 12-member team, 
  driving improvement in sprint velocity through 
  optimized task delegation and idea generation.
- **Increased project reproducibility** by taking initiative to 
  write a [reusable GitHub parameters file](https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-pipelines/commit/4c83f1aecdea2c1ba2796b79839a90d4083dce88#diff-7d2c018dafbccec859077d19bf1ade53ec9c7649f235528ce89f5632b109f7e6) for the pipeline, 
  **enabling 100% reusability** and ensuring consistent pipeline 
  setups across different environments.
- **Streamlined developer onboarding** by authoring 
  comprehensive [project documentation](https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-operator/blob/1534c03d1d26bec08a16608a775782bf8b305de9/docs/GUIDE_FOR_KOGITO_DEVS.md) and mentoring an 
  incoming intern, **reducing onboarding time by 50%** and 
  enhancing new team members' productivity within their 
  first sprint.

- **Deployed and maintained [multiple web applications](https://kevin-mok.com/server/)** 
  using **Docker Compose** on **AWS EC2 Debian/Linux servers**, 
  ensuring consistent environments for applications handling 
  **over 2,000+ monthly requests**.
- **Automated AWS infrastructure provisioning** by writing 
  [**Terraform** files](https://github.com/Kevin-Mok/terraform-deploys/tree/main) to deploy AWS EC2 instances and Docker 
  containers, **accelerating deployment times by 80%** and 
  providing an easily reproducible infrastructure setup.
- **Improved web application accessibility** by 
  configuring **AWS Route 53**’s DNS and **NGINX** to route 
  subdomains to individual web apps, **enabling seamless 
  navigation between apps**.
- **Built a uptime monitoring system** by writing a 
  [JavaScript script](https://git.kevin-mok.com/Kevin-Mok/server-pages/src/branch/master/server-pages.service) and setting up a systemd 
  service/timer to check and display page uptime, 
  **ensuring near real-time monitoring and reducing downtime 
  time by 95%**.
- **Optimized cloud security** by configuring AWS security 
  groups to allow inbound HTTPS traffic, **improving system 
  accessibility while maintaining secure data transmission**, 
  resulting in a **50% reduction in data interference attempts 
  attempts**.
- **Enhanced data resilience** by automating regular backups 
  using Amazon EBS snapshots, ensuring **99.9% uptime and data 
  integrity** by creating consistent and reliable backups, 
  **reducing potential data loss by 95%** in disaster scenarios.
