I’m a passionate DevOps Engineer with over 8 years of experience in building and managing scalable, secure, and automated cloud infrastructures. My background spans leading cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP, with hands-on expertise in Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, and Ansible Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and Prometheusto drive seamless CI/CD workflows and infrastructure as code. I’ve had the privilege of working with industry leaders such as Federal, state agency , GE Healthcare,Retail Client where I contributed to infrastructure automation, performance optimization, and enhancing system reliability. My strength lies in collaborating with cross-functional teams to streamline software delivery, improve system uptime, and foster DevOps best practices. I’ve led large-scale cloud migrations and platform modernization initiatives for federal agencies such as the U.S. Office of Personnel Management and the Department of Veterans Affairs, where I architected containerized solutions using Kubernetes, OpenShift, and Docker, and built secure CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Terraform. My work directly enhanced system availability, deployment speed, and compliance across multi-region, multi-cloud environments. I bring deep experience in infrastructure-as-code (IaC), using tools like Terraform, ARM templates, Bicep, and Ansible to provision cloud infrastructure and enforce configuration consistency. I’ve built and maintained Azure AKS and AWS EKS clusters, integrated Argo CD, Helm, and GitOps workflows, and enabled observability with Prometheus, Grafana, Azure Monitor, and Dynatrace to ensure proactive incident response and capacity planning.
