About

I’m a DevOps Engineer with 2+ years of experience building secure, automated, and scalable cloud delivery systems. Currently at Tata Consultancy Services, I design and optimize CI/CD architectures for AWS-based production environments. I focus on three things: reliability, automation, and security by design. I’ve built and maintained CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitHub Actions covering build, test, artifact management, security scanning, and production deployment. I integrated SonarQube (SAST), Trivy (container scanning), and OWASP ZAP (DAST) directly into pipelines as enforced quality gates. I’ve also aligned release workflows with ServiceNow approval processes to meet enterprise governance standards. By redesigning unstable pipelines and optimizing build stages, I improved build success rates to 99%+. I analyze failures, remove bottlenecks, and improve deployment speed without compromising stability. On the infrastructure side, I work extensively with AWS (EC2, S3, IAM, VPC, CloudWatch). I use Terraform for Infrastructure as Code to provision reproducible environments and eliminate configuration drift. In containerized environments, I work with Docker and Kubernetes, handling orchestration, pod lifecycle management, rolling deployments, scaling, and troubleshooting runtime issues. I ensure workloads are production-ready with proper resource limits, probes, and monitoring integrations. Automation is a core strength — I’ve developed Python and Bash scripts to streamline deployments, backups, and operational workflows, reducing manual effort by nearly 80%. I also bring strong problem-solving depth with 300+ LeetCode and 200+ GFG problems solved, helping me approach infrastructure challenges with engineering rigor and system-level thinking. Core Skills: Python, C++, AWS, Kubernetes (Orchestration & Pod Management), Docker, Terraform (IaC), Jenkins, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, CI/CD Architecture, SonarQube, Trivy, OWASP ZAP, ServiceNow, DevSecOps, Cloud Security, IAM, Zero Trust, SCIM, SSO, OAuth, MFA, Prometheus, Grafana, Cybersecurity Automation Achievements: 300+ LeetCode & 200+ GFG problems solved | TCS HackQuest Top 100 Finalist | Strong DSA & System Design background Certified in AWS SysOps Administrator and Microsoft Azure Security Engineer (AZ-500). Actively targeting DevOps, DevSecOps, Cloud Security, IAM, and SDE-Cloud roles in product-driven organizations.
