Shirish Maharjan

Designing, automating, and scaling cloud-native architectures. Integrating AI assistants and MCP servers to build high-productivity workflows.

Featured Projects

Production architectures, containerized applications, and DevOps automation workflows.

Cloud Architecture & Containerization

Highly Available ECS & Multi-Stack Containerization

99.98% uptime • Multi-stage Docker builds • Zero-downtime canary rollouts

Engineered end-to-end CI/CD workflows using Bitbucket Pipelines and AWS CodePipeline. Containerized diverse, high-traffic web applications (React, Node.js, NestJS, Python) using multi-stage Docker builds (45% image reduction) and deployed them onto highly scalable, fault-tolerant AWS ECS clusters with automated rolling rollouts.

Infrastructure as Code

Production AWS Infrastructure (Terraform & CloudFormation)

100% codified IaC • Full ecosystem diagrams & architectural documentation

Developed reusable, production-grade Infrastructure as Code modules using Terraform and AWS CloudFormation. Authored comprehensive architectural documentation and end-to-end topology diagrams detailing every service across the app ecosystem—including multi-AZ VPC networking, ALBs, ECS/EC2 compute, relational and cache databases (RDS & Redis), and unified Datadog APM/log observability pipelines.

Configuration Management

Ansible Multi-App Server Automation

Single-command server provisioning & multi-app deployment

Production-grade, 100% DRY Ansible automation suite to provision AWS EC2 hosts, allocate persistent swapfiles, configure Docker daemon, and deploy multiple dockerized web apps behind dynamic Nginx virtual hosts.

Monitoring & SRE Automation

Automated Observability & Visual Reporting

Automated visual metric snapshots • Proactive bottleneck suggestions

Architected Datadog & CloudWatch observability with an automated reporting engine built using Python and Playwright. The headless service captures live snapshot renders of infrastructure metrics dashboards, evaluates SLA thresholds, generates PDF/HTML health reports, and provides AI-driven remediation suggestions for performance bottlenecks.

FinOps & Cost Engineering

AWS Cloud Cost Optimization & FinOps

35%+ monthly cloud bill reduction • Automated idle resource & container image cleanup

Implemented automated AWS cost optimization routines using EventBridge scheduled triggers, Lambda, and Boto3—including compute rightsizing, Graviton instance migrations, S3 Intelligent-Tiering, ECR image lifecycle pruning policies, automated EBS snapshot cleanup, and scheduled non-production environment shutdowns.

Cloud Security & DevSecOps

AWS Cloud Security Hardening & Compliance

Zero critical findings in audit • 100% encrypted at rest & in transit

Enforced defense-in-depth AWS security baselines aligned with the AWS Well-Architected Framework and SOC2. Configured AWS IAM least-privilege policies with SCPs, enabled AWS WAF with rate-limiting, AWS GuardDuty, Security Hub, KMS encryption at rest, and automated vulnerability scanning in CI/CD.
