About

I am a final-year Computer Science undergraduate currently working as an Associate Cloud Engineer Intern, focusing on AWS cloud infrastructure and system operations. I am building hands-on expertise in cloud services, Linux-based environments, and deployment workflows. My core interests lie in cloud architecture, automation, and system reliability. I am actively strengthening my knowledge in AWS, CI/CD practices, and infrastructure fundamentals with the long-term goal of growing into a DevOps / Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) role. I believe in continuous learning, practical problem-solving, and building scalable, reliable systems.

Work experience

Associate Cloud Engineer Intern at Masters' Union, Feb 2026 - Present · 4 mos, Jalandhar, Worked on production AWS infrastructure, cloud operations, observability, deployment management, and incident response across multiple live environments. Managed real-world production systems with focus on reliability, cost optimisation, and operational automation. • Executed zero-downtime production recovery after an SSH overwrite wiped a live server running 5 production applications — rebuilt infrastructure, reconfigured Nginx + PM2, and restored all services without downtime. • Diagnosed and resolved a critical 100% disk utilisation incident that silently terminated all PM2 processes — recovered 60 GB of space and restored all applications using PM2 resurrect backups without service disruption. • Reduced AWS infrastructure costs by 40% within 2 months through EC2 rightsizing, removal of unattached EBS volumes, and elimination of unused cloud resources. • Responded to production RDS outages caused by 97% CPU spikes — identified slow-running SQL queries, coordinated optimisation efforts, and restored database availability within minutes. • Managed production infrastructure across EC2, RDS, Nginx, PM2, and GitLab CI/CD pipelines, handling deployments, debugging, environment configuration, and operational troubleshooting. • Resolved production application issues including CORS misconfigurations, Amplify build failures, Node.js compatibility issues, and database configuration problems through server log analysis and debugging. • Built and deployed “OpsConsole” — an internal cloud observability platform monitoring 21 AWS services including EC2, RDS, ECS, ALB, Lambda, Route 53, CloudFront, and ElastiCache in real time. • Developed infrastructure optimisation, waste detection, cost analytics, and security auditing modules identifying over $1,000/month in potential cloud savings.
