About

Results-driven Cloud Infrastructure Developer and Platform Engineer with 6.5 years of experience specializing in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Kubernetes (GKE), and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). I focus on building scalable hub-and-spoke cloud architectures, automated CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, and managing complex real-time data streaming environments in healthcare and financial domains. I have hands-on expertise in provisioning and managing GKE Autopilot clusters, implementing advanced load balancing with TLS automation, and integrating GCP Secret Manager, Certificate Manager, and Cloud DNS for secure traffic management. I work closely with development teams to execute builds, troubleshoot issues, and ensure high availability and reliability of microservices-based applications. My experience also includes architecting lower environments (Dev/Stage) on GCP from scratch, migrating on-premise workloads, and deploying Apache Flink streaming jobs connected to Kafka, PostgreSQL, and Redis. I follow modular IaC practices using Terraform and the Terraspace framework, with strong governance through versioned central modules. Core Skills: GCP (IAM, VPC, GKE, Load Balancers, Workload Identity Federation) Containerization & Orchestration: GKE Autopilot, Kubernetes, Docker Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, Terraspace Framework (Basics), Terraform Cloud CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins Security & Management: GCP Secret Manager, Certificate Manager, Cloud DNS, IAM Data & Middleware: Apache Kafka (on-prem to cloud), Apache Flink, Redis Cache, GCP PostgreSQL Other: Helm Charts (Basic), Bash Scripting, Splunk (Basic Monitoring), ServiceNow, Rally, Jira

Work experience

Cloud Infrastructure Developer / DevOps Engineer at Tata Consultancy Services, Mar 2023 - Present · 3 yrs 4 mos, Bangalore Urban, Karnataka, India, Managed GCP/GKE deployments for the Enterprise Pricing Platform (EPP), where Pricing Set IDs are defined within contract packages to orchestrate real-time claim data flow from submitters (E08, UMR, OCSP) to providers. Deployed, provisioned, and managed microservices architecture on GKE for highly available, real-time claim processing. Leveraged Terraform to provision and manage GKE Autopilot clusters with public endpoints, enabling a fully managed, scalable, and secure container environment for healthcare applications. Engineered a Terraform-based load balancer setup with health checks, DNS creation, and TLS termination; automated provider certificate generation and storage in GCP Secret Manager.Designed load balancer automation that retrieves SSL certificates from Secret Manager to configure Certificate Manager, DNS records, and frontend components, enforcing cloud security policies and IAM roles.Implemented Network Endpoint Groups (NEG) with load balancers to optimize traffic routing for GKE microservices and maintain high availability for real-time claim flows.Architected and built GCP lower-environment (Dev/Stage) infrastructure from scratch using a hub-and-spoke model to support migration of EPP live-flow components from on-premise systems.Engineered GitHub Actions workflow pipelines for Flink Data Products deployments, including manual dispatch triggers to select specific data products for automated deployment into GKE.Deployed submitter-specific streaming jobs on the Apache Flink dashboard to process live healthcare data, enabling end-to-end flow from on-premise Kafka topics through GCP PostgreSQL and Redis cache.Utilized Terraform and Terraspace Framework to maintain region-centric, modular infrastructure, sourcing centralized modules via Git URLs with strict version tagging for governance.Managed build artifacts (JAR files) using JFrog Artifactory and secured GKE deployments by configuring Kubernetes secrets for image pulling and microservice authentication

GCP, Jenkins Administrator at Cognizant, Nov 2019 - Feb 2023 · 3 yrs 4 mos, India, On Genworth project Authored and modified Terraform scripts using VS Code to provision and scale GCP resources including VPCs, Cloud Storage, and IAM. Streamlined infrastructure deployments using Terraform Cloud for remote execution and consistent state management. Integrated IaC workflows with GitLab, enforcing code quality through branch management and peer-reviewed merge requests. Administered organization-level IAM policies and custom roles, implementing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to enforce least-privilege access. Managed Jenkins administration, build execution, and pipeline troubleshooting for continuous integration workflows.
