1. Spearheaded end-to-end in-house APM migration away from New Relic, unifying a fragmented multi-vendor observability stack into a single LGTM-based platform ingesting 100M+ telemetry datapoints/minute and 100+ TB/day saving ≥ 250k USD annually, while keeping all developer worklows/habits intact. 2. Architected a comprehensive CI/CD platform using Backstage, ArgoCD, Crossplane for service deployments, boilerplating, cataloging, tiering, migrating 18k+ alerts/dashboards out of ClickOps while enforcing mandatory alert coverage across all services and sustaining seamless DevEx 3. Orchestrated production infrastructure modernization leveraging Karpenter, Kong, Argo Rollouts, and Terraform to accelerate development velocity through intelligent node provisioning, progressive canary deployments, and seamless migrations, optimizing infrastructure costs while maintaining zero-downtime releases 4. Aided the enterprise-scale metric observability stack migration from Thanos to Grafana Mimir by developing custom Tenant ID injector to solve query fanout challenges, supporting infrastructure handling multi-million samples per second at 40M+ active series with sub-100ms latency

• Kickstarted Observability/APM on all K3S/EKS Environments using OpenTelemetry/SigNoz, decreasing MTTD from several hours to a few minutes, also creating custom PromQL based analytics dashboards for internal frameworks/apps • Helm Refactoring: Added reusable template helper functions, macros, initContainer/sidecars in the product helm charts, reducing complexity and upgrade time • CI/CD: Replaced package manager, Optimized docker images for Image Size (using multi-stage builds) reducing build time and image sizes significantly • Security: Created Security Group and IAM Audit automations and alarms using AWS Config and Azure Policies, Added Hashicorp Vault for secret management, expediting the compliance requirements

• Founding member of the Platform Team, migrated manual deployment/build processes to absolute GitOps using Jenkins/Maven/Helm, increasing developer productivity and shortening release cycles by ≥ 20%. • Primary Kubernetes/RabbitMQ Cluster Administrator, Managed provisioning and maintenance of All Dev/Prod Cloud Agnostic EC2 based Clusters, using IaC with Terraform. • Designed/shipped a production-grade product-critical highly-available SFTP Server solution. (Covered on Medium) which reduced SFTP Server induced product downtime by ≥80%. • Cut Cloud costs by ≥ 40%: Right-sizing, Reserved/Spot Instances, Custom anomaly detection scripts. • Orchestrated sophisticated network architectures involving REST/OAuth, AMQP based microservices, HAProxy, NGINX, Apache, Websockets, Kubernetes Ingress, Kong/Istio API Gateways. Shipped API based rate-limiting, multi-tenancy and header-based caching to reduce exploitability & load times by ≥ 68% in the product. • Launched Observability with Prometheus, Elasticsearch, FluentD, cutting MTTD by 30%. • Deployed vulnerability detection and code scanning tools like ZAP, POM, Snort, AWS Inspector, SonarQube, enforced the same with a custom integration with GitHub PR, helping achieve SOC2 compliance. • Primary POC for firefighting/RCAs of all production issues, Bootstrapped a Prod Support rotation/escalator bot combining Prometheus, Power Automate and Jira, decreasing MTTR by ≥ 45%

About

DevOps/Platform Engineer who builds observability and infrastructure platforms from the ground up, not just operates it. I've been a founding platform/SRE team member at two high-growth product companies. That meant designing foundations under pressure, making hard tradeoffs early, and staying accountable to those decisions long enough to learn what actually scales. There's no better education. Further, At Zepto, I led the migration off a fragmented multi-vendor APM stack (New Relic + others) to a unified LGTM-based observability platform, now ingesting 100M+ telemetry datapoints/minute and 100+ TB/day across 800+ services without breaking habits or stability. Outside observability, I've driven GitOps adoption at scale — moving thousands of alerts and dashboards away from ClickOps, and building CI/CD platforms that engineers actually want to use rather than work around. If you're building ambitious infrastructure or platform engineering work, I'd love to connect.
