• Established automated configuration management using Ansible, ensuring consistency across environments (dev, staging, prod).

• Developed monitoring and observability stack leveraging Prometheus for metrics, Grafana for dashboards, and ELK for centralized logging.

• Integrated Vault (or other secret management) to securely manage secrets and credentials across environments.

• Collaborated with security and compliance teams to enforce IAM policies, Kubernetes RBAC, and container security scanning.

• Reduced deployment times by ~ 40% via pipeline optimizations, blue/green deployments, and canary strategies.

• Led incident response and postmortems, contributing to a 30% reduction in production-severity incidents. DevOps Engineer Nexova, India Jul 2022 – Jul

2023

• Migrated legacy monolithic applications to containerized microservices using Docker and Kubernetes (EKS / self- managed).

• Managed IaC using Terraform, provisioning cloud resources in AWS and enabling reproducible environments.

• Built CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, implementing pipeline-as-code, unit/integration test stages, and automated deployment to Kubernetes.

• Automated server and configuration management using Ansible, reducing configuration drift and manual tasks.

• Implemented Git-based workflows (GitLab / GitHub) for code collaboration, branching, and automated deployments

(GitOps).

• Set up logging and metrics infrastructure using Prometheus and Grafana, enabling real-time metrics dashboards and alerting.

• Defined SLIs / SLOs for key application services and established alerting rules to proactively monitor system health.

• Conducted capacity planning, autoscaling (Horizontal Pod Autoscaler), and resource optimization to reduce cost while maintaining performance.

• Provided DevOps training and mentorship to development teams, driving adoption of best practices in CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, and containerization.

DevOps Engineer Accenture, India Dec 2021 – Jun 2022

• Designed, implemented, and managed CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitHub Actions, automating build, test, and deployment workflows for AWS-hosted applications.

• Automated infrastructure provisioning using Terraform and configuration management with Ansible, ensuring scalable and reproducible AWS environments.

• Containerized applications using Docker and orchestrated deployments on Amazon EKS (Kubernetes) for improved scalability and reliability.

• Monitored system performance and application health using CloudWatch, Prometheus, and Grafana, enabling proactive alerting and incident resolution.

• Implemented security best practices with IAM roles, policies, and HashiCorp Vault for secret management across AWS environments.

• Collaborated with development teams to integrate automated testing and code quality tools into CI/CD pipelines, reducing deployment errors and increasing release velocity. AWS Engineer Hexaware, India Mar 2019 – Nov

2021

• Designed, deployed, and managed core AWS infrastructure for enterprise applications, including VPC, EC2, RDS, IAM, S3, and CloudWatch.

• Automated infrastructure provisioning with CloudFormation and Terraform, ensuring versioned, auditable deployments.

• Implemented CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins to build, test, and deploy applications to AWS environments.

• Built automated scripts (Python, Bash) for infrastructure maintenance, backup, monitoring, and cost optimization.

• Facilitated security best practices by defining IAM roles, policies, and encryption strategies for data at rest and in transit.

• Set up basic monitoring and alerting using CloudWatch, configured dashboards, and logs for resource utilization.

• Worked with development teams to provide on-demand environments through IaC for development, QA, and production.

• Conducted performance tuning and cost analysis, recommending and implementing right-sizing of instances, leveraging reserved instances and autoscaling.
