Senior DevOps Engineer at ElevenX Capital (2025-08 – Present)

Sole DevOps engineer and platform owner for AWS, Amazon EKS, CI/CD, infrastructure automation, internal AI infrastructure, and production operations across 3 business verticals and multiple portfolio companies. Partners with the Global CTO on infrastructure strategy and supports engineering teams in India and the United States, covering US business hours for releases, incidents, and architecture reviews.

• Owned 12 environments across 3 business verticals — each with dev, QA, UAT, and production — covering provisioning, deployments, releases, and incident response as the only DevOps engineer.
• Architected reusable Terraform modules for AWS VPC, IAM, Route53, ACM, ALB, EKS, ECR, RDS, and S3, replacing one-off setup with reviewed, repeatable infrastructure as code across environments.
• Standardized Amazon EKS delivery with Helm, manifests, ingress, secrets management, resource policies, and environment conventions, establishing a consistent production deployment pattern across engineering teams.
• Established CI/CD with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Jenkins for service releases: container image builds, security scanning, ECR publishing, promotion from dev through QA and UAT to production, and Helm-based deployment.
• Migrated VM-based workloads onto Kubernetes by containerizing applications, replacing VM deploys with versioned releases, predictable rollbacks, and faster troubleshooting.
• Reduced infrastructure cost by 40% and cut technical debt by migrating legacy systems onto AWS Graviton, and by using KEDA event-driven autoscaling with time-based schedules to scale workloads down outside business hours, including alignment through US daylight-saving shifts.
• Built and operated internal AI infrastructure to run the organization's own models in-house, keeping inference inside the org so data is not leaked, and established guard rules for how developers use AI.
• Hardened delivery security by blocking secret pushes into source control and operating key rotation for cloud credentials and application secrets.
• Operated production databases across MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and Amazon RDS, covering provisioning, configuration, and incident troubleshooting.
• Built SRE dashboards on Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki, giving a single view of platform and application health for reliability reviews and incident triage.
• Reviewed infrastructure before production and drove architecture discussions with the Global CTO toward safer, more maintainable cloud patterns.
• Reduced operational dependency on DevOps by mentoring software, QA, and support engineers on AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Helm, and CI/CD, and by publishing onboarding guides, deployment standards, and runbooks.

Assistant Manager - DevOps Engineer at Thriwe (2024-04 – 2025-05)

• Owned AWS and GCP production operations for regional deployments across India, UAE, and Dammam, covering reliability, hosting, monitoring, and release support.
• Engineered high availability with multi-zone database replication and HA application patterns for business continuity planning.
• Hardened and operated Linux servers across OS patching, security hardening, process debugging, storage checks, and system incident resolution.
• Automated Jenkins release workflows and established consistent application deployment practices for engineering teams.
• Standardized observability on Prometheus, Grafana, and Grafana Loki, and integrated SonarQube and Sentry to surface code quality and runtime failures earlier in the release cycle.

Senior DevOps Engineer at Ficode Software Solutions Pvt Ltd (2023-11 – 2024-04)

• Built Jenkins CI/CD pipelines for containerized builds, image publishing, and repeatable deployment across AWS and on-premises environments.
• Operated hybrid Kubernetes clusters on AWS and on-premises infrastructure, and ran Docker packaging and private container registry operations for release teams.
• Replaced manual deployment steps with automated build-and-release workflows, making releases repeatable and reducing runtime failures blocking delivery.
• Instrumented infrastructure with Prometheus node exporters and Grafana dashboards, giving engineering teams shared operational visibility.

DevOps Engineer at Zimyo Consulting Pvt Ltd (2023-05 – 2023-10)

• Provisioned AWS VPC, security groups, EC2, EBS, and S3, and operated the Linux environments behind application and infrastructure workloads.
• Executed AWS-to-GCP database migration in planned off-hours windows with replication and application-side verification.
• Cut unnecessary cloud spend by auditing idle EC2 instances and orphaned EBS volumes, and resolved networking, storage, and access-control issues affecting deployments.

DevOps Engineer at ThinkSys Software Pvt Ltd (2022-06 – 2022-11)

• Configured rolling-update workflows for containerized services on the StackSports project and operated Docker-based deployments with Linux troubleshooting.
• Resolved response-time degradation under load by tuning uWSGI and Apache MPM workers, diagnosing faults across application code, process managers, web servers, and hosts.

DevOps Engineer at Byju's Exam Prep (formerly Gradeup) (2022-02 – 2022-05)

• Removed manual steps from the release path by building CircleCI pipelines for Docker image builds and Amazon ECR publishing.
• Upgraded Node.js application runtimes to supported LTS versions for security and compatibility, and resolved Linux, container, and build failures in release workflows.

DevOps Consultant at Knoldus LLP (2020-01 – 2022-02)

• Delivered DevOps consulting to enterprise clients HPE, UKG, and Imprivata across CI/CD, container infrastructure, deployment automation, and Linux operations.
• Built Jenkins workflows for rolling updates, provisioned DC/OS clusters with Ansible, implemented ELK for log search, and documented operational patterns to reduce manual coordination across client teams.
