Dev P.

My journey into DevOps started with a deep curiosity about how scalable, automated infrastructure powers the world’s best software. That curiosity became hands-on impact during my time at Kayak, where I joined the Platform Engineering team as a DevOps Intern. At Kayak, I worked directly on automation tools that unblocked engineering teams at scale. One major initiative involved containerizing Puppet modules using Docker and re-architecting legacy provisioning into more maintainable, portable pipelines. I also built internal API-driven Bash scripts to streamline domain management, saving hours of manual work per week and reducing tech debt. Monitoring became another key area of ownership—while on call, I used LogicMonitor to detect, escalate, and troubleshoot infrastructure issues before they impacted users. Outside of Kayak, I earned the IBM DevOps and Software Engineering Professional Certificate, gaining formal exposure to CI/CD pipelines, cloud-native tools, and Agile collaboration principles. That training reinforced my passion for system reliability, automation, and delivering developer velocity through tooling and infrastructure. I thrive where others stall—bridging gaps between development and operations, automating tedious workflows, and ensuring that platforms are stable, scalable, and developer-friendly. I’m especially excited about roles where I can own internal tooling or help build resilient infrastructure from the ground up.
