Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

I lead DevOps initiatives for enterprise clients, focusing on AWS infrastructure, container orchestration, and automation at scale. My scope spans EKS cluster operations, Terraform module design, Docker image lifecycle management, and ECR governance. I standardize workloads with Helm charts, design CI/ CD pipelines, and implement observability stacks using Prometheus, Grafana, and CloudWatch. By balancing cost optimization with reliability, I’ve helped reduce cloud spend and accelerate delivery, while mentoring engineers to adopt DevOps best practices. Key Contributions • Managed and optimized Amazon EKS clusters with multi-nodegroup strategies, improving availability and lowering scaling costs by ~20% • Designed reusable Terraform modules and workspaces, cutting provisioning errors by ~30% and speeding environment setup • Hardened Docker container images and enforced secure baselines, reducing vulnerabilities found in scans by ~40% • Implemented ECR lifecycle policies and IAM guardrails, lowering image storage overhead by ~25%. • Developed and maintained Helm release pipelines, reducing new service onboarding time by ~35% • Automated CI/CD workflows (Bitbucket, Jenkins, GitHub Actions), enabling daily releases and cutting failure rates by ~30% • Coordinated EKS version upgrades and applied patches with near-zero downtime Enhanced observability with Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, reducing MTTR by ~40% • Partnered with developers to apply blue/green and canary deployments, improving release reliability • Mentored 5+ junior engineers on Kubernetes, Helm, and Terraform Project Highlights • Migrated monolithic workloads to containerized microservices on EKS, boosting deployment velocity and resiliency [Terraform, EKS, Docker, ECR] • Automated multi-account AWS provisioning with Terraform and IAM policies [Terraform, AWS, CI/CD]
