  • Designed and deployed an AI-powered syslog analysis tool on GCP using Python, Vertex AI (Gemini), and ChromaDB. Built indexing and querying pipelines that allow SREs to interactively analyze 30MB+ log files in real time through a Streamlit UI, improving incident response speed and operational visibility.
  • Led the organization-wide rollout of Google Cloud Assist and Gemini Code Assist, creating a centralized AI hub project. Implemented Developer Connect GitLab integrations to securely index 400+ repositories, enabling developers to query code contextually via the Gemini CLI while enforcing access boundaries through repository groups and IAM.
  • Design, build, and maintain internal monitoring and tooling on GCP, with a focus on resilience, observability, and automation. Led projects involving large-scale archival data cleanup, developing Python-based multithreaded deletion workflows that operate across multiple GCP projects with service-account scoped isolation - all while maintaining data safety, auditability, and performance.
  • Security is central to my DevOps philosophy. I've implemented end-to-end security scanning pipelines using Snyk and GitLab's security features, including SAST, dependency scanning, and license compliance tools. I work closely with developers to enable secure coding practices early in the lifecycle - integrating SBOM generation and automated vulnerability remediation into CI/CD workflows.
  • Led the implementation of Wiz across the organization to achieve comprehensive cloud security visibility and risk management across multicloud environments, including GCP and AWS projects.
  • Integrated Wiz into CI/CD workflows to automate vulnerability remediation and proactively address high-risk attack paths by correlating vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and sensitive data exposure.
