Background

About Tejas Phade

I am an experienced IT infrastructure engineer specializing in Cloud, DevOps, and Site Reliability Engineering. With a focus on AWS (EC2, VPC, RDS), Windows Server, VMware, and Linux/Unix environments, I excel in troubleshooting, operations support, maintenance, and administration of complex IT infrastructures. As a lead IT infrastructure engineer, I provide comprehensive support for the Enet IT Infrastructure estate. This includes administering and configuring LAN, WAN, Firewall (Fortinet, ASA), Wi-Fi, and corporate networks. I have built, administered, and troubleshooted mission-critical environments, ensuring smooth operations. Cloud Engineering and DevOps: my expertise shines. I have extensive experience implementing, testing, and monitoring microservices in distributed systems. Working with container orchestration platforms like Docker and Kubernetes in cloud environments, I have facilitated seamless CI/CD of new microservices. I am adept at troubleshooting large-scale deployment issues on Linux, CentOS, and RedHat systems, leveraging my skills in bash and shell scripting. Furthermore, I have designed proof of concept (POC) for Infrastructure as Code (IaaC) using Terraform, automating various tasks with Ansible and Python to improve deployment efficiency, reduce downtime, and enhance reliability. Site reliability Engineering: I have successfully implemented and maintained monitoring solutions such as Grafana, ELK, and Nagios at the server and application level, ensuring enhanced operational visibility and proactive issue resolution. Leading initiatives to transition critical software services to the Cloud, I facilitate seamless operations and provide training to employees on the Cloud transition process. Security and compliance: I have significantly reduced security threats through vulnerability assessments, patching vulnerable components, and auditing security system policies. Platforms such as Windows, Linux, and AWS (EC2, RDS, VPCs) have benefited from my security measures. Risk analyses, mitigation plans, and presentations in management meetings further demonstrate my commitment to maintaining a secure environment. Network management: Overseeing network operations across 250+ locations in India, I am well-versed in routers (BGP, OSPF, EIGRP), switches (VLAN, VTP, STP), firewalls, IDS/IPS, wireless access control, and load balancers. Collaborating with vendors, I implement best practices and software updates to ensure robust security solutions.
