About

DevOps/SRE engineer with 4+ years of experience operating production infrastructure on AWS and Kubernetes (EKS). Designs CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins/GitHub Actions), implements GitOps with ArgoCD, and manages IaC with Terraform. Builds observability with Prometheus/Grafana and embeds security scanning (SonarQube, Trivy) throughout delivery. Implements SRE error-budget policies to gate risky deployments and reduce toil. Focuses on deployment automation, incident response, reliability, and cost optimization across production microservices.

What I'm looking for

Looking for a fully remote DevOps/SRE role where I can own infrastructure, automate deployments, and improve reliability. I bring 4+ years of AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Jenkins experience. I've cut provisioning time by 65%, reduced AWS costs by 25%, and maintained 99.9% availability across 15+ microservices. I want to work with a collaborative team that values ownership, security, and continuous improvement. Open to startups or product companies using modern cloud-native tech.

Wipro Ltd. (Client: L'Oréal)

Apr 2023 – Present

▪ Engineered CI/CD pipelines Jenkins with parallel stages and artifact caching, reducing release cycle time by ~30%. ▪ Standardized AWS infrastructure using modular Terraform with S3/DynamoDB remote state, cutting environment provisioning time by ~65% (45→15 mins). ▪ Managed Kubernetes workloads on Amazon EKS using Helm, Istio, and HPA with custom Prometheus metrics; maintained 99.9% availability across 15+ microservices. ▪ Established GitOps with ArgoCD (auto-sync, self-heal, RBAC), enabling self-service for 5+ teams and reducing manual release effort by ~70%. ▪ Built observability stack with Prometheus/Grafana dashboards and Splunk log aggregation, reducing MTTR by ~40% (45→27 mins). ▪ Embedded DevSecOps (SonarQube, Trivy, OWASP), cutting CVE remediation time by ~50% (3→1.5 days) and preventing ~92% of critical vulnerabilities from reaching ECR. ▪ Remediated production incidents (JVM heap exhaustion, Istio mTLS expiry, EBS volume exhaustion) via rapid ArgoCD rollbacks; enforced Kyverno policies blocking manual kubectl edits. ▪ Implemented SRE error-budget policies—paused a high-risk DB migration to preserve 99.9% availability during peak sales; ran k6 load testing to cut CPU throttling by ~40%. ▪ Automated non-production EC2 scheduling via Python Lambda/EventBridge, reducing AWS costs by ~25%. Designed multi-region DR (Route53 failover, RDS Multi-AZ, S3 CRR).
