Led migration of 20+ legacy services from on-premises and non-OCI environments to OCI across compute, networking, IAM, and service integrations, reducing infrastructure provisioning time by approximately 70%. Designed OCI platform patterns using compartments, dynamic groups, and IAM policies for 10+ teams across development, staging, and production, reducing access misconfigurations by approximately 40%. Standardized least-privilege access across 5+ OCI tenancies and 15+ environments and redesigned workflows for 1,000+ developers, cutting repetitive requests by approximately 60% and approval time from three days to same day. Built and maintained reusable, versioned Terraform modules for 50+ services, reducing new-environment setup effort by 60-70% and improving provisioning consistency. Established Infrastructure as Code standards, module versioning, and peer review practices that reduced configuration-drift incidents by approximately 80% and eliminated most manual infrastructure changes. Decomposed a monolithic CI/CD pipeline into modular, parallel stages, reducing build failures by more than 90% and developer feedback time from more than two hours to approximately five minutes. Built and optimized 100+ Jenkins pipelines spanning build, test, security scanning, and deployment, raising success rates to 99%+ and reducing average deployment time by 65-70%. Modernized legacy deployment paths into cloud-native, containerized, fully automated delivery, enabling 3-4x faster release cycles across supported teams. Supported business-critical production workloads and dozens of services with Prometheus, logging, and alerting, contributing to consistent service availability. Served as the primary OCI and DevOps subject matter expert, mentored 15-20 engineers, reviewed platform designs, and advanced Terraform, CI/CD, monitoring, and production engineering practices.

About

Principal SRE / DevOps and cloud infrastructure engineer with 13+ years of experience building secure, automated, and reliable platforms across OCI, backend engineering, and enterprise delivery. At Oracle, I design and operate OCI platforms using Terraform, Shepherd, Jenkins, Git, GitHub, Docker, Kubernetes, and Python/Bash/Groovy automation. My work spans OCI Compute, Networking, IAM, compartments, dynamic groups, policies, multi-tenancy, environment isolation, cloud migration, access governance, SSL/TLS, and certificate lifecycle automation. Highlights: • Redesigned IAM policies, reducing access approval time for 1,000+ developers from three days to same day. • Automated SSL/TLS certificate provisioning with Terraform, cutting turnaround from five days to 10 minutes. • Built reusable Terraform modules for 50+ services, reducing environment setup effort by 60-70%. • Modernized CI/CD pipelines, reducing feedback loops from 2+ hours to about five minutes. Core strengths: OCI | Shepherd release orchestration | Terraform and IaC | Jenkins and CI/CD | Kubernetes and Docker | Prometheus, monitoring, logging and alerting | Linux | Python | Bash | Groovy | Java | REST APIs | Oracle Database. I am open to Bangalore-based SRE, DevOps, platform engineering, and cloud infrastructure roles where I can improve reliability, delivery speed, security, and engineering productivity.
