About

Professional summary

I am a Lead DevOps and Cloud Platform Engineer with 10 years of experience designing, automating, and supporting enterprise cloud infrastructure across Azure, AWS, Kubernetes, hybrid, and production environments.

I specialize in building secure, scalable, highly available cloud platforms using Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD automation, GitOps, and configuration management. I have delivered repeatable environments with Terraform, ARM Templates, CloudFormation, Ansible, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Helm, and Argo CD.

I have extensive hands-on experience administering AKS, Kubernetes, and Charmed Kubernetes platforms, including cluster provisioning, upgrades, patching, node pools, autoscaling, ingress, persistent storage, networking, RBAC, secrets, and workload scheduling.

I apply Site Reliability Engineering and DevSecOps practices to improve operational reliability, deployment consistency, security, observability, and incident recovery. My experience includes monitoring and troubleshooting with Azure Monitor, Prometheus, Grafana, Dynatrace, CloudWatch, Splunk, and ELK Stack.

I collaborate effectively with application, security, networking, database, QA, and operations teams to deliver resilient production platforms. I am experienced in incident response, root-cause analysis, disaster recovery, capacity planning, cloud cost optimization, release management, and production readiness.

Career history

Lead DevOps / Cloud Platform Engineer US Bank

Architected secure and highly available Azure infrastructure using VNets, NSGs, Application Gateway, load balancers, and RBAC for production services. Managed AKS and Charmed Kubernetes clusters across Azure, on-premises, and hybrid environments, including upgrades, patching, scaling, and operational support.

Automated application and infrastructure delivery with Azure DevOps YAML, Terraform, Helm, ARM templates, and approval gates. Implemented GitOps workflows through Argo CD and version-controlled Kubernetes manifests, reducing configuration drift and improving release consistency.

Established observability with Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Prometheus, Grafana, and Dynatrace. Strengthened Kubernetes security through RBAC, Key Vault, Harbor controls, image scanning, namespace isolation, and protected pipeline variables; resolved critical incidents involving ingress, DNS, worker nodes, Ceph storage, persistent volumes, networking, and failed deployments.

Senior DevOps / AWS Cloud Engineer Wipro

Designed highly available AWS environments using EC2, VPC, RDS, S3, IAM, Route 53, Elastic Load Balancing, and Auto Scaling for enterprise applications. Configured segmented cloud networks with private subnets, route tables, NAT gateways, security groups, and load-balancer rules.

Built Jenkins and Azure DevOps pipelines integrating GitHub, Maven, automated testing, Docker builds, deployment approvals, and rollback mechanisms. Provisioned multi-environment infrastructure using Terraform and CloudFormation to eliminate inconsistent manual configurations.

Standardized Kubernetes deployments with Helm charts, resource limits, health probes, ConfigMaps, Secrets, and rolling updates. Integrated Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, Splunk, and ELK monitoring, while collaborating with development, QA, security, and operations teams on DevSecOps, capacity planning, and production validation.

Site Reliability Engineer / Cloud Infrastructure Engineer Get Software

Maintained reliable AWS, Azure, Linux, Kubernetes, and middleware environments supporting healthcare applications and business-critical services. Administered Docker and Kubernetes workloads, including deployments, services, ingress, resource consumption, persistent storage, and pod-failure troubleshooting.

Developed and maintained Jenkins CI/CD pipelines with Git, Maven, automated validation, artifact packaging, approvals, and rollback procedures. Implemented Terraform and Ansible automation for cloud resources, Linux servers, middleware configuration, and access controls.

Automated health checks, log collection, service validation, and operational maintenance using Python and Bash. Monitored availability, latency, error rates, saturation, and database connectivity through Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, and ELK; coordinated incident response, change reviews, recovery testing, and production-readiness activities.

AWS DevOps / Build and Release Engineer Karvy

Created and optimized Jenkins CI/CD pipelines for Git checkout, Maven builds, automated validation, artifact packaging, and application deployment. Supported developers and QA teams with build issues, dependency conflicts, Tomcat deployments, release documentation, rollback planning, and post-deployment verification.

Launched AWS infrastructure using EC2, S3, IAM, VPC, RDS, security groups, and CloudWatch. Provisioned networking, storage, and database resources through Terraform for consistent automated deployments across environments.

Containerized Java applications with Docker and standardized image tags, runtime dependencies, and configuration practices. Automated Linux administration, deployment checks, service restarts, and log collection with Python and Bash, and centralized logs using Splunk and ELK Stack.
