About Soumya Basu

IT Infrastructure Administrator with over 12 years of experience in Wintel, VMware, Nutanix, Azure, and automation, I am passionate about simplifying solutions to enhance people's lives. Currently, as a Cloud Ops Engineer, I focus on automating desired state configuration on Windows resources and rolling out CIS benchmarks across environments through Ansible. Previously, during my tenure at Capgemini, I led an assignment to redesign our data center infrastructure using VMware and Nutanix solutions. This transition from traditional systems to a highly integrated hyper-converged infrastructure resulted in a 40% reduction in OPEX and a 30% improvement in overall system performance. This experience reinforced my belief that modern technology is key to solving complex problems and delivering effective solutions.

Industries: Printing, Media, Food, Agrochemical for US and EU-based companies. I have a strong passion for building and optimizing reliable, highly-available, secure, and performant distributed infrastructure. As a quick learner, I love to take on new challenges. I’m open to relocation, with a preference for opportunities in the EMEA or APAC regions. If you're seeking a dedicated professional with a focus on delivering effective IT infrastructure solutions, I’d be glad to connect and explore how I can contribute.
