## About

I'm a DevOps Engineer with 2\.5\+ years of experience automating CI/CD, deployments and environment operations for a 500\+ environment telecom estate across on\-prem and AWS\. At Amdocs, I built and own a central Jenkins platform with 10\+ production jobs, used by 100\+ people across dev, test, UAT and production\. A few results I'm proud of: \- Cut hotfix deployment from \~4 hours of manual work to \~30 minutes with a one\-click pipeline \- Automated NAS cleanup that reclaims \~60 GB a month, after recurring disk\-full incidents \- Automated license, password and SSL certificate renewals, turning near\-daily expiry issues into rare ones \- Performed an Amazon EKS cluster upgrade Technology stack: Linux \| Jenkins \| AWS \| Docker \| Kubernetes \| Git \| Python \| Shell Scripting \| Helm \| Argo CD \| Maven \| SonarQube \| Azure Outside work, I build to learn: a Flask/MySQL app on Kubernetes \(kubeadm to EKS\) and a GitOps pipeline with Jenkins, SonarQube and ArgoCD\. I enjoy work where reliability, automation and developer experience meet, and I'm always keen to learn from engineers solving problems at scale\. Let's connect: ikshit2809@gmail\.com
