Infrastructure Provisioning and Configuration Automation Tech: Terraform, Ansible, Azure, GitLab CI

• Enabled Azure infrastructure provisioning with Terraform and automated workflows through GitLab CI pipelines, reducing setup time from hours to minutes.
• Implemented end-to-end infrastructure provisioning and configuration workflow in GitLab CI, streamlining deployments through a single YAML file update and reducing manual effort from days to hours for build-ready VMs.
• Designed and implemented reusable Ansible playbooks for Windows and Linux VM configuration, enabling standardized and automated setup across multiple teams.
• Used scripting and container-based execution to make CI workflows more consistent, maintainable, and portable.
• Supported secure secrets handling for infrastructure and deployment workflows using Vault-based practices integrated
  with automation pipelines.

Infrastructure Monitoring and Dashboarding
Tech: Log Analytics, Grafana, Prometheus, Alertmanager

• Deployed Prometheus and Grafana on-prem k8s clusters to improve visibility and alerting, contributing to a 40% reduction in system downtime.
• Set up custom Grafana dashboards for gitlab-runner, GitLab pipeline, and node-exporter to enhance monitoring capabilities.

• Designed and implemented GitLab CI/CD pipelines for Windows and Linux build, test, and deployment workflows,
  helping accelerate release cycles by 30%.
• Automated scheduled and on-demand verification and regression pipelines, reducing manual test execution by 70%.
• Built Docker-based environments for CI/CD workflows to improve consistency across development, testing, and
  deployment stages.
• Implemented Git LFS with JFrog Artifactory for large-file management, improving repository usability and version control
  performance
• Collaborated with DevOps teams to establish best practices for application deployment in production environments.
• Diagnosed and resolved infrastructure and pipeline failures across CI/CD and containerized environments, helping
  reduce deployment instability

• Enhanced HyperWorks GUI by delivering 5 new features and resolving 20+ defects, improving usability and product
  stability.
• l Implemented 10 BVTS/FNCs and resolved 15 solver conversion issues, improving feature reliability and system
  performance.
• l Worked closely with engineering and QA teams to troubleshoot issues and improve release quality.
