DevOps/SRE Engineer Dell Technologies TX, USA Jul 2024 - Present

Built and maintained CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and Azure DevOps to streamline deployments for over twenty microservices, reducing complete release time significantly from two hours to roughly forty minutes.

Managed hybrid multi-cloud infrastructure using Terraform and Ansible across AWS and Azure environments, improving environment consistency, minimizing provisioning delays, and reducing overall setup time by nearly sixty percent.

Automated recurring operational maintenance tasks with Python and Bash through AWS Lambda and Azure Functions, eliminating manual work, reducing incident frequency, and saving close to fifteen hours every week.

Established comprehensive observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and Azure Monitor to improve system health visibility and cut mean-time-to-resolution from forty-five minutes to under twenty minutes during issues.

Integrated anomaly detection workflows using ELK and Python to proactively identify unusual performance deviations, increasing early detection accuracy by almost thirty percent across monitored services.

Supported incident response activities, participated in post-mortems, maintained SLO metrics, and coordinated with teams to strengthen reliability targets and reduce recurring operational failures.

DevOps Engineer Capital One TX, USA Dec 2023 – May 2024

Built reusable cloud infrastructure templates using Terraform, Azure ARM Templates, and AWS CloudFormation, improving deployment reliability, reducing configuration drift, and accelerating environment setup tasks by nearly thirty percent.

Created CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline, and Azure DevOps to automate build, test, and release processes, improving delivery consistency and reducing manual coordination during production pushes.

Deployed containerized microservices using Docker and Kubernetes across EKS and AKS clusters, improving application scalability, stability, and accelerating recovery during rolling updates and planned maintenance windows.

Integrated Qualys, AWS Security Hub, and Azure Security Center with pipeline workflows to validate vulnerabilities automatically, cutting remediation times by twenty-five percent and strengthening compliance posture. DevOps Engineer HCL India Sep 2021 – Nov 2022

Built and maintained more than fifteen CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitLab CI, and Azure DevOps to automate application builds, testing phases, and deployments, reducing release cycles from multiple days to only a few hours.

Administered AWS and Azure infrastructure using Terraform and Ansible, managing over thirty EC2 and VM instances while improving provisioning consistency across development, staging, and production environments.

Containerized various legacy applications with Docker and deployed them to Kubernetes clusters (EKS/AKS), cutting infrastructure costs by nearly twenty percent and enabling faster scaling during peak usage.

Embedded IAM controls, automated scanning tools, and Azure Policy enforcement into delivery workflows, increasing cloud security posture and reducing compliance-related audit findings.

Built end-to-end observability solutions using Prometheus, Grafana, and Azure Monitor to identify performance issues earlier and consistently maintain over 99.9% availability across multiple applications.

Junior DevOps Engineer Rlogical Techsoft Pvt. Ltd. India Sep 2020 – Aug 2021

Built and maintained basic CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI, Jenkins, and Azure DevOps to support application deployments and help reduce overall release delays across multiple internal projects.

Automated routine cloud setup activities on AWS and Azure through Terraform and Ansible, reducing repeated manual configuration and improving consistency during development environment provisioning.

Containerized smaller application components with Docker and supported Kubernetes deployments on EKS and AKS clusters to improve stability during regular updates and testing cycles.

Prepared monitoring dashboards and alert rules using Prometheus, Grafana, and Azure Insights to help teams identify performance drops earlier and maintain smoother application behavior.

Wrote Python and Bash scripts for recurring maintenance tasks, assisting teams by reducing manual work and saving nearly three hours each week during log reviews and cleanup activities.
