DevOps engineer with over 8+ years of experience in implementing and optimizing DevOps processes across various server platforms. I am proficient in cloud solutions (Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, AWS) and am adept at streamlining infrastructure management, deployment, and development using a broad range of tools and technologies. Strong expertise in Infrastructure as Code (IaC), CI/CD pipelines, and automation with scripting languages and configuration management tools. Successful CI/CD Pipeline Implementation: a. Played key role in the design and implementation of a comprehensive CI/CD pipeline, reducing deployment time by 70-80% and significantly increasing the frequency of releases from bi-monthly to weekly. b. Scaled platforms while mentoring 50+ engineers across 3 organizations c. Built sustainable infra reducing carbon footprint by 40% at GainWell d. Integrated automated testing, monitoring, and security checks, ensuring a seamless and reliable deployment process. Optimization and Cost Savings: e. Architected and managed a scalable cloud infrastructure on AWS, utilizing services such as EC2, S3, and RDS, resulting in a 30% reduction in operational costs. f. Implemented automated scaling policies and resource tagging strategies, optimizing resource utilization and cutting down unnecessary expenditure. Enhanced System Performance: g. Implemented infrastructure as code (IaC) using Terraform, standardizing and automating the provisioning of resources, resulting in increased consistency and reduced configuration drift. Developed and enforced a robust monitoring and alerting framework using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK Stack, leading to a significant reduction in system downtime and improved incident response times. Security and Compliance Enhancements: h. Implemented security best practices, including automated security scans and compliance checks within the CI/CD pipeline, ensuring early detection and remediation of vulnerabilities. i. Achieved and maintained compliance with industry standards (e.g., ISO 27001, GDPR) by establishing automated auditing and reporting mechanisms. Continuous Improvement and Innovation: j. Championed the adoption of containerization and orchestration technologies, such as Docker and Kubernetes, resulting in more efficient resource management and application scalability. k. Led the migration of legacy systems to microservices architecture, improving system agility, maintainability, and fault isolation. Incident Management and Disaster Recovery: l. Developed and implemented a comprehensive incident management and disaster recovery plan, reducing recovery times by 50% and ensuring business continuity. m. Automated backup and restore processes, ensuring data integrity and availability in the event of a system failure. Performance Optimization and Load Balancing: n. Owned end-to-end Jenkins CI/CD pipelines for 15+ microservices, enforced SDLC gates (SonarQube static analysis, Selenium regression tests) and integrating Tenable vulnerability scans for HIPAA-compliant deployments on AWS ECS. o. Developed custom automation scripts and tools to streamline repetitive tasks, reducing manual intervention and minimizing human error. Evaluated and integrated new DevOps tools and technologies, staying ahead of industry trends and continuously improving the DevOps toolchain.

Experienced with automating deployment processes and managing cloud infrastructure. Utilizes containerization and orchestration tools to ensure high availability and scalability. Track record of implementing continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines effectively.
