Architected, operated, and supported Azure and AWS DevOps platforms running on AKS and EKS for HIPAA-regulated, business-critical healthcare applications. Implemented Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines with automated testing, environment promotion, release gates, and production rollout strategies. Built and maintained Helm charts for microservices across multiple AKS clusters. Automated infrastructure provisioning using Terraform and Azure Bicep (AKS node pools, VNets/subnets, NSGs, load balancers, private endpoints, managed identities). Secured Kubernetes workloads with Azure Key Vault and HashiCorp Vault via CSI drivers and managed identities, and implemented GitOps deployments with Argo CD tied to Azure Repos and GitHub. Established OpenTelemetry Collector pipelines and Azure Monitor/Log Analytics/Application Insights for release and platform observability. Embedded DevSecOps controls such as SonarQube quality gates and Trivy scanning. Automated AKS operational workflows (node draining, p

Built and managed CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps and Jenkins for applications running on Azure VMs, AKS, bare-metal Linux servers, and VMware VMs. Led delivery for a large GCP-to-Azure migration (200+ VMs), rebuilding configuration layers and validating application parity across staging and production. Automated provisioning and configuration of compute nodes using Ansible, SaltStack, and Python, reducing onboarding time by 60%. Managed hybrid infrastructure with Terraform and Bicep (networking, VM clusters, load balancers, Application Gateway with WAF, secrets management). Implemented GitOps workflows using Argo CD to enforce desired state and reduce configuration drift. Developed reusable Ansible playbooks for patching, service restarts, certificate rotation, and security baselines, and strengthened security with Key Vault integration and CI/CD-integrated scanning (SonarQube + Trivy). Operated and migrated managed databases with VNet integration and low-downtime cutovers, and built
