About
I build and harden the infrastructure that keeps deploys fast and incidents rare — currently across 11,000+ Linux servers at IG Group. The last three years have taught me that great platform work is 80% removing friction from other engineers' days. Concretely, that has looked like: • Standing up Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, Puppet) across DEV/TEST/UAT/PROD so environments come up reproducibly instead of being hand-built. • Designing a GitLab CI/CD parent-child pipeline that dynamically fans out validate, plan, and apply jobs per environment, cutting pipeline runtime across our four Nomad clusters. • Building Python MCP servers (FastMCP) that expose our CMDB, ServiceNow, and PagerDuty APIs — so engineers (and AI agents) can query the platform without clicking through five tools. • Onboarding 7+ application squads to a self-service patching model on AWX so they no longer wait on the central platform team. • Cutting our end-to-end OS patching cycle from ~90 days to a 45-day target through Zero-Downtime Patching, batched execution, and a per-kernel revert workflow. • Building Honeycomb dashboards so engineers self-serve service-health visibility during incidents. Stack I work in day-to-day: HashiCorp Nomad + Consul, Terraform / Terragrunt, Ansible, Puppet, GitLab CI, Jenkins, AWX, Python, Bash, CheckMK, Honeycomb, PagerDuty, AWS (Cloud Practitioner certified). I'm open to platform / DevOps / SRE roles at product companies — remote-first or hybrid, based in India, comfortable working across UK and US time zones. If you're building an India platform hub or scaling a US team into India, let's talk. 📩 anushj1188@gmail.com
