Cloud Engineer with 4.5+ years of hands-on experience in designing, operating, and supporting cloud and Linux-based infrastructure across AWS and Azure environments. Currently working at HCL Technologies as a Cloud Engineer / Linux Administrator, supporting production systems with high availability, security, and performance requirements. I am an AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA‑C03) with strong expertise in AWS core services including EC2, S3, VPC, IAM, RDS, Auto Scaling, ELB, Lambda, and EKS. My role involves monitoring and incident management using AWS CloudWatch, CloudTrail, Security Hub, and GuardDuty, ensuring SLA compliance and rapid issue resolution. I have solid experience in infrastructure monitoring, alerting, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis (RCA) for P1 and P2 incidents across cloud and Linux platforms. I regularly collaborate with cross‑functional teams (Dev, QA, Network, Security) to restore services quickly and implement long‑term fixes. My background includes Linux system administration (RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu), user and permission management, security hardening, patching, backups, and disaster recovery. I have also worked on containerized workloads using Docker and Amazon EKS, and supported CI/CD pipelines via Azure DevOps and Git. I use Terraform (IaC), Bash, and Python for automation and operational efficiency and actively maintain runbooks, SOPs, and troubleshooting documentation. Alongside technical work, I frequently handle customer-facing support, explaining issues clearly and providing reliable cloud solutions. I am passionate about cloud technologies, continuous learning, and delivering secure, scalable, and reliable infrastructure.
