Experience & Projects

Roles held: Senior DevOps Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Associate DevOps Engineer

Senior DevOps Engineer

• Designed and architected multi-regional infrastructure in GCP for a Gen AI–powered ad generation product — managing 5+ Kubernetes clusters, 200+ GPU and compute nodes, 30+ microservices, and dynamic environments (3 active, 10+ ephemeral).
• Designed and implemented a DevOps automation platform in Golang that generates infrastructure-as-code and orchestrates provisioning through Terraform — reducing manual ops and enforcing infrastructure standards.
• Led end-to-end infrastructure design for 10+ cloud-native products across AWS and GCP, delivering highly available, scalable systems with 99.9% uptime SLAs.
• Built an internal developer platform using Argo and Kubernetes, enabling auto-provisioning of ephemeral environments per pull request — streamlining development workflows and accelerating feature testing.
• Built a high-availability, multi-regional observability stack with VictoriaMetrics and Loki, improving system visibility and reducing mean time to resolution, resulting in $12K annual cost saving.
• Engineered external authentication architecture using Istio as the ingress gateway, improving performance, security, and traffic management at scale.
• Deployed a self-hosted Netflix Conductor setup for scalable workflow orchestration, supporting complex, distributed job pipelines across services.
• Mentored team members and cultivated a DevOps culture centered around automation, transparency, and cross-functional collaboration.

DevOps Engineer

• Designed and maintained custom Helm charts to standardize microservice deployments, integrating External Secrets for secure, scalable secrets management — adopted across 13+ products.
• Architected CI/CD pipelines for 30+ microservices using GitHub Actions, supporting advanced release strategies and improving deployment reliability.
• Planned and managed multi-cluster Kubernetes environments using Argo for workload orchestration across 3 regions, enabling seamless scaling and failover.
• Designed a production-ready Kafka cluster architecture using the Strimzi Operator, ensuring high availability, scalability, and resilience.
• Optimized compute architecture by designing fault-tolerant HA systems on spot instances with graceful node termination handling — maximizing performance-to-cost ratio.
• Led GitOps adoption across multiple teams, designing workflows with Argo CD, Rollouts, and Helm to improve deployment traceability and consistency.

Associate DevOps Engineer

• Contributed to infrastructure design for 8+ products across AWS and GCP, focusing on automation, modularity, and cost optimization.
• Reduced cloud spend by 50% through architecture-level cost audits and optimization strategies.
• Designed and configured a self-hosted ELK stack using Ansible for centralized logging and monitoring, improving incident visibility and response.
• Built data infrastructure using Airflow and Airbyte, enhancing the reliability and scalability of data processing workflows.
• Developed reusable, secure Terraform modules (e.g., for SteamPipes integration), embedding DevSecOps best practices into infrastructure provisioning.
