● Kubernetes Orchestration: Designed and maintained Kubernetes clusters across on-premises and AWS EKS environments, implementing resource-aware configurations to ensure high availability.
● Deployment Safety: Introduced versioned Helm releases and structured environment promotion, significantly improving rollback safety and deployment efficiency.
● Workload Optimization: Led the containerization of core services using Docker, ensuring 90% deployment consistency and improved workload efficiency across all environments.
● CI/CD Engineering: Architected end-to-end CI/CD pipelines from scratch using Jenkins, automating the lifecycle of testing, Docker builds, and registry publishing to accelerate delivery cycles, eliminating manual deployments and
accelerating feature delivery by 50%.
● Release Automation: Standardized Kubernetes release workflows by transitioning from Kustomize to Helm charts, effectively reducing configuration drift by 40%.
● Toil Reduction: Developed Python and Bash automation scripts to replace repetitive operational tasks, reducing manual overhead by 10+ hours per week for the development/qa team.
● DevSecOps: Enhanced platform security posture by scanning the built docker images using trivy and integrating Veracode SAST and DAST scans, improving visibility and increasing scan coverage by 40%.
● Operational Excellence: Advocated for best practices by reviewing system behavior and incident patterns to drive continuous improvement in deployment workflows.

● Infrastructure Management: Configured and managed enterprise-grade switches, access points, and firewalls with a focus on maximizing network utilization and connectivity.
● Systems Administration: Deployed and administered Active Directory and storage solutions, emphasizing system stability and standardized operations to reduce overhead.
● Service Delivery: Supervised on-site technicians and supported enterprise IT environments to ensure consistent and efficient service delivery.
● Reliability: Installed and maintained network and surveillance systems, improving overall site operational reliability.
