About
I’m a Senior DevOps Engineer with 7+ years of experience building and operating secure, resilient cloud infrastructure across AWS and Azure. I focus on infrastructure automation and platform engineering—using Terraform/CloudFormation, Kubernetes (EKS/AKS), Docker, and CI/CD pipelines to deliver faster, more reliable deployments.
I’ve helped teams improve deployment speed, reduce infrastructure costs through FinOps, and maintain high availability with strong incident response practices. I enjoy collaborating across development, security, and operations to implement DevSecOps controls (IAM, SAST/DAST) and observability (Prometheus/Grafana/ELK/CloudWatch), while using GitOps approaches like Argo CD to make releases predictable and rollbacks straightforward.

Work experience· 4 roles
Architected Jenkins and GitLab CI/CD pipelines for cloud-native microservices, improving deployment time by ~70% and supporting up to 50 daily releases across multiple services. Automated secure AWS and Azure infrastructure provisioning with Terraform and Ansible, designing VPC, VPN, EC2, S3, RDS, and Lambda environments with standardized networking and access controls. Operated and tuned production Amazon EKS workloads with Kubernetes/Helm and integrated SAST/DAST tools (SonarQube, Snyk, Checkmarx) into CI/CD for HIPAA/SOC 2 alignment. Built production observability dashboards and alerting with Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK to reduce MTTR, and implemented GitOps deployments with Argo CD for declarative rollouts and faster rollbacks. Optimized cloud spend using autoscaling and reserved instances, delivering substantial annual savings, while mentoring engineers and improving team productivity.
Built and maintained CI/CD workflows across Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and GitLab CI/CD for automated build, test, security scanning, and production deployments. Provisioned AWS infrastructure using Terraform and CloudFormation, including networking, IAM, security groups, EC2, EKS, S3, RDS, and load balancers. Developed reusable Terraform modules to standardize dev/staging/production environments and deployed microservices on Kubernetes using Docker and Helm. Implemented GitOps patterns with Argo CD to improve consistency and rollback control, and operated Kubernetes with health checks, resource limits, autoscaling, and rolling updates. Set up observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and CloudWatch for production health and incident triage, while automating recurring operations with Python, Bash, and Ansible.
Migrated legacy applications to AWS cloud-native solutions, reducing infrastructure costs by ~40% and improving availability to ~99.99%. Designed secure multi-region AWS VPC networking with VPN connectivity, routing, and S3 storage for resilient services. Created reusable version-controlled AWS CloudFormation templates to reduce deployment errors and introduced GitOps workflows to standardize deployments across environments. Designed multi-region infrastructure with automated failover for high availability and disaster recovery. Led Terraform adoption for Infrastructure as Code across engineering teams, improved CI/CD automation via Jenkins and GitHub Actions, reduced manual intervention significantly, and mentored junior engineers to accelerate onboarding.
