APAC

• Architected, automated, and operated 430+ Google Cloud projects enterprise-wide, partnering with platform, security, and application engineering teams to design highly available, secure, and compliant cloud platforms at scale. • Designed reusable Infrastructure-as-Code frameworks in Terraform, Ansible, and Packer that standardized provisioning and CIS-hardened Golden Image lifecycle management – driving down configuration drift and adopted as the org-wide standard by 12+ engineering teams. • Cut deployment time by 40% by re-architecting enterprise GitLab CI/CD pipelines around automated testing gates, staged rollouts, and release automation, while improving deployment frequency and change failure rate (DORA metrics). • Sustained 99.9%+ platform availability and cut incident detection time by 45% by building SLI/SLO-driven observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and Google Cloud Monitoring, including custom alerting thresholds tied to error budgets rather than static limits.

• Led Sev-1/Sev-2 incident response and root cause analysis for production-critical systems, running blameless postmortems that fed directly into IaC and pipeline changes to prevent recurrence and reduce MTTR. • Defined cloud security guardrails spanning IAM policy design, CSPM controls, and network segmentation, partnering with security teams to close audit findings and enforce least-privilege access across the Google Cloud estate. • Owned infrastructure lifecycle management end-to-end – from provisioning through decommissioning – via CI/CD, IaC, and DevSecOps guardrails, enabling audit-ready operations without manual intervention.

• Designed Google Cloud landing zones with IAM governance, Shared VPC architecture, private networking, and layered security controls – reused as a core architecture pattern across multiple client engagements. • Built reusable Terraform modules that standardized provisioning across development, staging, and production environments, cutting environment setup time from days to hours. • Developed CI/CD pipelines with automated deployment validation and rollback safety, reducing failed releases and enabling faster iteration for client analytics platforms. • Implemented CIS benchmark compliance and infrastructure hardening as part of onboarding new clients, shortening security review cycles. • Built monitoring, alerting, and logging pipelines that gave clients production visibility they previously lacked, cutting time-to-detect for operational issues.

Bangalore Urban

• Built GitLab CI/CD and Google Cloud Build pipelines to support automated, multi-cloud deployments across AWS and GCP for enterprise application teams. • Optimized Terraform configurations and introduced automated validation, improving deployment reliability and reducing rollback frequency. • Implemented secrets management and release automation, replacing manual credential handling in the deployment process. • Diagnosed and resolved recurring build failures and deployment bottlenecks, improving overall CI/CD pipeline stability.

About

As a Site Reliability Engineer at Jaguar Land Rover, I navigate the dynamic intersection of Cloud, DevOps, and AI-ML technologies, ensuring our IT systems' seamless reliability, scalability, and peak performance. Collaborating with diverse teams, my mission is not just to resolve issues but to elevate our processes through automation and streamlined workflows. Armed with a Bachelor's in Computer Science from BAMU University, and Red Hat certifications (RHCE and RHCSA), my seven-plus-year journey in the IT industry has been a fascinating ride. I've contributed significantly to innovative projects at JLR, Quantiphi, HashedIn by Deloitte, and Blazeclan Technologies. From crafting Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning solutions on the Google Cloud Platform to spearheading a Cloud IAM project across AWS, GCP, and Azure, my proficiency extends across a spectrum of tools – Linux, GCP, GitLab, Terraform, Kubernetes, and various other DevOps tools. Beyond the accolades, including multiple awards and certifications in web design, coding, and digital marketing, my passion lies in continually absorbing new IT technologies and sharing these insights. Open to tech talks and collaborations, I'm a firm believer in the power of knowledge exchange. Connect with me at praffulchavan22@gmail.com or explore my digital space at https://topmate.io/praffulchavan. I'm eager to connect, share experiences, and explore exciting new opportunities together. Let's embark on this journey of innovation and growth!
