Maintain high availability and daily reliability operations for OCI Data Science and Data Labeling native services across 80+ OCI regions. Support production on-call, daily operations, CI/CD maintenance, release management, change management, monitoring, and service enhancements for management-plane services. Build new OCI realms and regions, including secure cloud deployments for government environments and platform-bar enablement for Data Science and Data Labeling services. Built agentic AI automation for ODSC train release workflows covering CP, MP, Canary, and Alarms trains. Automated Shepherd release planning and ComputeC dry-run generation with template selection, artifact version validation, rollout scope handling, and approval-gated release creation. Developed Seeks-based CM/Jira change-management automation, including CM draft generation, Shepherd release-link population, prerequisite validation, and safety gates for production-impacting actions. Converted repeatable SRE release procedures into reusable Codex skills and agent workflows, reducing manual toil and standardizing train execution across engineers. Implemented portable environment-based configuration so train automation runs across team members machines without hard-coded local paths. Added operational guardrails including dry-run-first execution, exact approval prompts, prerequisite checks, and audit-friendly command summaries for safer production releases. Implemented OMK readiness for OCI Data Science Management Plane by updating authentication flows from S2S-only assumptions to a generalized requesting-auth provider model. Delivered cross-repository changes across management-plane and shared control-plane modules while preserving existing ODO behavior and enabling OMK deployment support. Automated region-build workflows for newly launched OCI regions and supported shape-agnostic compute enhancements across regions.

About

I strive to bring excellence, clarity, and scale to everything I build. With over a decade of experience across Cloud Infrastructure, DevOps, and Platform Engineering, my career spans key engineering roles at enterprise tech leaders including Infosys, Shell, and Oracle. Currently, as a Senior Site Reliability Engineer at Oracle, I focus on: Enterprise Infrastructure: Architecting and scaling OCI Data Science Platforms across global regions. Platform Reliability: Designing highly available Oracle Managed Kubernetes environments for mission-critical workloads. DevSecOps Integration: Embedding automated security, governance, and compliance gates directly into CI/CD ecosystems. Core Expertise: Multi-Cloud Architecture: OCI, AWS, GCP, Azure Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, Ansible Platform & Containers: Kubernetes, Docker, Helm SRE & Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Service Reliability, Incident Management Leadership: Mentoring cross-functional global teams and driving engineering culture shifts I believe exceptional DevOps isn't just about tools—it’s about engineering resilient systems and fostering a culture where development teams can ship software faster, safer, and with complete confidence. Always open to discussing cloud architecture, platform engineering strategy, and the evolution of DevSecOps.
