Designed end-to-end IT infrastructure automation using Ansible integrated with ITSM, enabling service requests (patching, user provisioning, filesystem expansion, etc.) to be fulfilled automatically. Built automated Linux and Windows patching pipelines with pre/post checks, backup validation, reboot orchestration, reporting, and notifications. Developed modular Ansible playbooks and reusable roles to standardize infrastructure operations across environments. Automated Linux user provisioning and filesystem expansion, eliminating manual administration tasks. Implemented Event-Driven Automation (EDA) to trigger operational workflows based on monitoring alerts (log collection, diagnostics, remediation). Integrated GenAI-assisted automation to dynamically select remediation playbooks (e.g., service restart, issue recovery). Developed custom Ansible collections for enterprise email notifications and other data manipulation, replacing community modules.

Experienced in the comprehensive spectrum of Virtual Infrastructure, I specialize in designing, installing, and implementing systems that drive efficiency and scalability. Instrumental in elevating system robustness, I adeptly reallocated SAN disk space to engineer an agile, scalable solution for the company's Virtual Infrastructure. My acumen extends to researching, suggesting, and executing enhancements like DRS, HA, FT, and FC Connectivity to Storage that enhance reliability and performance. I stand out for designing and executing High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR) solutions for business-critical Servers such as SAP, Active Directory, and Email. In a transformative stride, I revamped backup and Replication policies, optimizing system availability (averaging 99.9% uptime) to empower the organization for rapid business expansion. Proficiently navigating Storage Systems encompassing HP StorageWorks MSA2312i & P2000 G3 FC, Dell MD3000i SAN Array, Iomega StorCenter ix12-300r, and Openfiler, I excel in the creation of LUNs across RAID 0, 1 & 5, seamlessly troubleshooting issues related to SAN and iSCSI deployments. Adeptly managing challenges, I seamlessly replace failed or missing physical disks within Storage Arrays while meticulously mapping hosts to LUNs. I'm distinguished for orchestrating successful Upgradations / Migrations from ESX 4.0 and ESXi 4.1 to ESXi 5.1 for 14 Servers, bolstering operational efficiency and future-readiness.

About

With over 17+ years of experience, I've cultivated strong expertise in various technical domains, including mentorship and implementing numerous Proof of Concepts (PoCs). I've taken charge of complete automation projects, from building foundational infrastructure to enabling monitoring with event-driven automation. My hands-on experience extends to emulating labs for research, learning, and conducting root cause analysis for issues faced in customer environments. This, coupled with my commitment to innovation, is evident in spearheading projects that seamlessly integrate IT Service Management (ITSM), streamlining user service requests through meticulously designed automated workflows. In addition, I am a self-learner, adept at swiftly adapting to new technologies. This commitment to continuous learning has been pivotal in my ability to embrace and integrate cutting-edge tools and methodologies. My journey reflects adaptability and continuous learning, crucial traits in embracing modern technologies. Navigating DevOps, cloud technologies, and strategic project management, I consistently synthesize complex solutions and make a meaningful impact in dynamic IT environments. - Containerization: Kubernetes, Docker, Openshift - Automation: Ansible, Ansible Automation Platform, Terraform - Scripting: Bash, Python - CI/CD - GitLab, ArgoCD, Openshift GitOps - Monitoring: Prometheus & Grafana, Nagios, Zabbix - Database: PostgreSQL - Operating Systems: RHEL 7/8, SLES 12/15 - Cloud Computing: GCP, Azure, AWS - Networking: Cisco Routing & Switching - Virtualization: vSphere 5.x/6.x - Management Tasks: Team Management, Technical Recruiting, Mentoring
