Built core backend components of the Certificate and Secret Management Service, including APIs and relational schema design for certificate metadata, on shared AWS Aurora PostgreSQL provisioned through a Crossplane-based Relational Store Service. • Enhanced the Key Management Service (KMS) with authentication, authorization, and audit logging for cryptographic key operations, strengthening IAM controls over key and certificate management. • Deployed NSIAM Introspection APIs across global environments for token validation and identity verification; diagnosed and fixed a production OAuth credential synchronization defect behind intermittent authentication failures. • Designed a Kafka Dead Letter Topic replay framework and an event transmission pipeline, enabling automated recovery of failed messages across distributed microservices. • Engineered an AI-powered debugging CLI and a Claude-integrated IAM troubleshooting assistant that automate root-cause analysis of JWT, OAuth, and token validation failures, reducing MTTR by 70% and enabling self-service diagnosis. • Remediated critical Checkmarx findings (input validation, heap inspection) in Java authentication services, and added container image-signing verification and KICS Infrastructure-as-Code scans to CI/CD pipelines. • Automated CI/CD for IAM applications on Kubernetes with ArgoCD, Helm, and GitHub Actions, and built Python and Shell automation for testing and operational workflows. • Right-sized Kubernetes workloads by analyzing resource metrics and tuning pod allocations, reducing cloud infrastructure costs by 60%.

About

Software Engineer with experience across Software Development, DevOps, Cloud Infrastructure, CI/CD, and Performance Engineering, currently pursuing an M.Tech in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning from BITS Pilani. I started my career in Performance Testing, gaining hands-on experience in load testing, performance analysis, bottleneck identification, and application scalability. I later moved into DevOps and Cloud Engineering, working with AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker, Helm, ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Grafana. My experience includes GitOps-based deployments, CI/CD automation, infrastructure automation, production troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and engineering process optimization through automation. I am also AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (AWS CCP), validating my foundational knowledge of AWS Cloud and its core services. Alongside my professional experience, I am pursuing an M.Tech in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning from BITS Pilani, developing deeper expertise in Machine Learning, Deep Learning, AI, and data-driven systems. I am actively expanding my software engineering capabilities in Java, Data Structures & Algorithms, Backend Development, System Design, and AI/ML, with a focus on building scalable and reliable software systems. I enjoy solving engineering problems end-to-end — from developing software and automating infrastructure to deploying, monitoring, optimizing, and improving systems in production. Core Areas: Software Engineering | Java | DSA | System Design | AWS | Kubernetes | Terraform | CI/CD | GitOps | Docker | Performance Engineering | Automation | AI/ML | Deep Learning
