PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

DevOps / Cloud Engineer Concordia University WisconsinJul 2024 – Present

Milwaukee, WI, USA (Remote)

•Designed and maintained CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps Pipelines and GitHub Actions for automated build, test, and deployment of containerized applications to Azure Container Apps and AKS.

•Provisioned and managed cloud infrastructure using Terraform and Bicep IaC templates, enforcing environment separation (dev/staging/prod) and consistent, repeatable deployments.

•Managed container workloads — deployments, services, config maps, secrets — improving deployment reliability and reducing manual release effort.

•Implemented Prometheus and Grafana monitoring dashboards aligned with OpenTelemetry observability practices, enabling metric-driven incident detection and post-incident review workflows.

•Coordinated production release planning including change management procedures and rollback strategies; documented processes, system configurations, and deployment procedures.

•Collaborated cross-functionally with product and engineering teams in an Agile setting; participated in code reviews and drove continuous improvement of deployment pipelines.

DevOps Engineer Cox AutomotiveJun 2021 – Apr 2023

Hyderabad, India

•Built and operated multi-cloud infrastructure on AWS and Azure using Terraform, following IaC best practices including remote state management and reusable modules.

•Designed and maintained Jenkins and GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines to automate build, test, and deploy workflows for microservices in Docker containers on AWS ECS Fargate and EKS.

•Improved application reliability and scalability through load balancing, auto-scaling, and health-check configuration in AWS — contributing to SLI/SLO tracking and error budget management.

•Monitored infrastructure and application health using AWS CloudWatch and Prometheus; drove rapid incident response and structured post-incident reviews adhering to security and compliance requirements.

•Authored Bash and Python automation scripts to eliminate manual operational tasks, accelerate deployments, and support incident response runbooks.

•Supported production release orchestration including change management approval flows and rollback readiness verification.

DevOps Intern VerzeoMar 2021 – May 2021

Remote

•Assisted with CI/CD pipeline configuration and cloud application deployment tasks; gained foundational experience with Git, Linux, and shell scripting for automation workflows.

KEY PROJECTS

Multi-Cloud Infrastructure Automation with Terraform / OpenTofu

•Designed modular Terraform configurations with remote state and workspace-based environment separation (dev/staging/prod) to provision AWS VPCs, EC2, ECS Fargate clusters, load balancers, and security groups.

•Integrated GitHub Actions pipeline to auto-validate and apply infrastructure changes, reducing provisioning errors and enabling self-service platform deployments.

•Configured CloudWatch alarms and dashboards for SLI monitoring; documented runbooks for incident management and rollback procedures.

OpenTelemetry-Aligned Kubernetes Observability Stack

•Deployed a Prometheus + Grafana observability stack on Kubernetes, instrumented with OpenTelemetry exporters to collect metrics, logs, and traces from containerized microservices.

•Built Grafana dashboards for SLI visualization (latency, error rate, saturation) and configured alerting rules to support error budget tracking and proactive incident detection.

Containerized Microservice CI/CD Pipeline (Docker + ECS Fargate)

•Containerized a microservice using Docker and built a fully automated GitHub Actions pipeline covering build, test, image push, and deploy stages to AWS ECS Fargate.

•Implemented blue/green deployment strategy for zero-downtime releases and documented rollback procedures for production incidents, ensuring security and compliance throughout the deployment process.
