• Built a GitHub Actions job to clone ServiceNow change requests in bulk, Release Managers can run 10–15 CRQ clones at once with auto-filled timings, cutting creation effort by ~85% and finishing in 1–2 mins. • Built a Jira-watching Jenkins agent that picks up deployment tickets every hour, reads the project/env/build details, and kicks off the right Jenkins job automatically, no one has to manually trigger deployments anymore. Teams get a MS Teams ping when it's done. • Led the Node Port to Envoy migration across multiple teams on Visa's private cloud (Triton) — sorted out Kubernetes and VM config issues along the way. • Cut deployment effort by 60–70% by building Jenkins pipelines with Groovy scripts and one-click automation using Triton Cloud APIs. • Fixed certificate renewals on VMs, built log-extraction and cert-update jobs so engineers don't have to SSH into servers anymore. Reduced update time by 80%. • Currently driving the Jenkins to GitHub Actions migration (GitOps approach). POC is done, rolling it out across teams now.

Short stint but a lot happened, joined right before IPL season and spent most of it keeping things alive under serious load. • Scaled EKS clusters during IPL peak traffic from Dream11, Hotstar and My11Circle, used HPA, node scaling and resource tuning to keep things stable when traffic spiked hard. • Provisioned infra with Terraform — EC2, S3, IAM, VPC setup for new services. • Was part of on-call rotations and helped track SLOs/SLIs across services.

Helped students work through cloud computing projects, mostly AWS and Azure stuff. Ran tutorials, sat with people when they got stuck, and worked with the faculty to make the lab sessions more useful. Good way to reinforce what I was learning in the MSc while actually helping others get it too.

• Built an IoT Digital Twin that connected a physical Arduino car to Azure — you could control the car via cloud simulation in real time. Fun project, genuinely worked. • Set up CI/CD pipelines for 5 projects using Azure DevOps — cut deployment time in half. • Provisioned infra with Terraform across 3 projects — multiple environments, less manual work. • Containerised 4 apps with Docker — no more "works on my machine" issues. • Automated about 30% of the manual admin work the team was doing — freed up roughly 15 hours a week. • Fixed a tricky Docker port mapping issue that was blocking container access — turned out to be a Dockerfile + Compose config mismatch.

• Migrated the company's data to the cloud, cut on-premise costs by 30%. • Used Terraform to automate infra provisioning — reduced setup time by 40%. • Deployed the company website on AWS Elastic Beanstalk with a CI/CD pipeline — deployments went from slow and manual to fast and repeatable. • Set up AWS auto-scaling so the site could handle traffic spikes without going down.
