About

AWS DevOps & Cloud Engineer focused on building scalable, reliable, and production-ready systems for enterprise environments. I specialize in cloud infrastructure, CI/CD automation, container platforms, Infrastructure as Code, and SRE practices, enabling teams to deliver software faster with high availability and zero-downtime releases. My experience includes designing and operating AWS-based platforms, automating infrastructure provisioning using Terraform and CloudFormation, and implementing end-to-end CI/CD pipelines that integrate build, security, and deployment workflows. I work extensively with Docker and Kubernetes (EKS) to support modern, containerized application architectures. I have a strong interest in observability and reliability engineering, implementing monitoring, alerting, and logging solutions using Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, and Loki to improve system stability and incident response. I enjoy simplifying complex operational challenges through automation and standardization. Key strengths: AWS Infrastructure: EC2, VPC, IAM, EKS, ECS, S3, RDS, CloudWatch, Route 53, CloudFront DevOps & CI/CD: Jenkins, GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline, Harness, Argo CD Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, AWS CloudFormation Containers & Orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes, Helm Observability & SRE: Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, PagerDuty Automation & Scripting: Python, PowerShell, Bash DevSecOps: SonarQube, container image scanning, secrets management I value ownership, reliability, automation, and continuous improvement, and I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams to build resilient platforms at scale.

Software Quality Engineer at McAfee, Apr 2017 - Present · 9 yrs 5 mos, Bangalore, Designed, automated, and supported scalable AWS cloud infrastructure using EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, ELB/ALB, Auto Scaling, and Systems Manager to improve reliability and performance of enterprise platforms. Built and maintained CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins (Pipeline-as-Code), GitHub, Harness, and AWS CodePipeline to enable faster, repeatable, and secure application releases. Implemented Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and AWS CloudFormation for consistent, multi-environment provisioning across development, QA, and production. Enabled containerized deployments using Docker and Kubernetes (EKS and kOps-managed clusters), leveraging Helm for release orchestration and rollouts. Delivered zero-downtime deployments using blue-green and rolling deployment strategies, improving release stability and customer experience. Integrated DevSecOps practices into pipelines with SonarQube, container image scanning, IAM-based access controls, and secrets management. Implemented monitoring and observability using Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, Loki, and PagerDuty for proactive alerting and incident response. Automated deployment validation, health checks, and operational tasks using Python and PowerShell, reducing manual effort and operational risk. Collaborated with global engineering, QA, and SRE teams in Agile/Scrum environments to drive release readiness, production stability, and continuous improvement.

Software Quality Engineer at Intel Corporation, Jul 2015 - Apr 2017 · 1 yr 10 mos, Bangalore, At Intel Corporation (2013–2017), I served as a QA Engineer & Deployment Lead for the Partner Standard Desktop program, driving large-scale global deployments across data centers in India, Waterloo, and Santa Clara. I led end-to-end release management, executing 1,200+ deployments in 15 months with minimal downtime through pre-production simulations, contingency planning, and live validations. Partnering with QA Core & Localization teams, I introduced automation strategies that validated deployments across Windows, Linux, macOS, multi-language, and OEM/ISP partner environments, significantly improving speed and accuracy. I also drove security product testing, ensuring compliance and stability across diverse platforms. By debugging complex environmental issues, optimizing test cases, and refining QA processes, I improved test coverage and reduced redundancies. Beyond execution, I authored QA strategy documents, established process governance, and developed a SharePoint knowledge portal to capture best practices and enable global collaboration. Working closely with cross-functional international teams, I delivered process improvements that enhanced efficiency, reduced risk, and strengthened release predictability. Key Impact: Ensured high-quality, stable global releases, pioneered automation in deployment validation, and delivered operational excellence in a fast-paced, multi-partner environment.
