About

DevOps Engineer with 4+ years of experience, including 2+ years managing production infrastructure across AWS and Azure. I build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) with automated testing, lint gates, and rollback-on-failure, and manage Linux-based application servers, Apache, and networking for a live production CRM with containerisation via Docker and Kubernetes and infrastructure-as-code via Terraform. I've led CVE remediation across severity levels ahead of a compliance deadline, and reduced release cycle time by 20% by standardizing SDLC and release workflows. Before moving into infrastructure, I spent time as a backend engineer building REST APIs and scalable systems, which shapes how I approach reliability and deployment problems today. Currently looking for DevOps Engineer / SRE / Cloud Engineer roles. Open to relocate. Feel free to reach out to me at chandan.krishna.rukmani@gmail.com
