I specialize in transforming manual, error-prone operations into automated, resilient platforms that support high-availability systems at enterprise scale.My core expertise includes AWS and VMware, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible), CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab, Spinnaker), Kubernetes & Docker, and observability platforms such as Grafana, Splunk, and Datadog. I have strong hands-on experience using Python and Shell scripting to drive automation and operational efficiency.In my current role, I lead Linux platform automation initiatives, including end-to-end weekly patch testing automation that reduced manual effort by ~80% every week. I’ve also implemented real-time logging integrations using Kafka, improved audit readiness through automated reporting workflows, and mentored junior engineers on automation best practices.I’ve worked with global organizations such as Wells Fargo, Samsung R&D, ConcertAI, and Infosys, delivering solutions that improved system reliability, reduced operational overhead, and accelerated delivery cycles.Beyond tools and technologies, I focus on reliability engineering, operational excellence, and enabling engineering teams through strong DevOps and SRE practices.
