PROFILE

Vikas Thoutam

Over a two-month period, contributed backend and DevOps engineering to UTDallasEPICS/Support-Our-Scrubs-Noble-Award and UTDallasEPICS/Rainbow-Roundup-Calendar-Event-App, focusing on deployment reliability and production readiness. Leveraged Docker, TypeScript, and Node.js to streamline environment handling, automate AWS ECR image publishing, and standardize CI/CD workflows, reducing configuration drift and improving security. Enhanced notification reliability by implementing a singleton nodemailer transport and optimized Docker builds with entrypoint scripts for database migrations. Prioritized maintainability and reproducibility by consolidating Dockerfile logic and removing unnecessary file copies, resulting in faster, more consistent deployments and improved scalability across both repositories without introducing new bugs.
