Pavan Meesi

Cloud DevOps Engineer with 4+ years at Accenture, specialising in Azure-native infrastructure (Function Apps, ASE v3, Entra ID, Key Vault) and AWS workloads (EKS, CloudFront, S3). Hands-on with Kubernetes, Terraform IaC, and GitOps delivery via ArgoCD and Helm. Proven track record of end-to-end project ownership — from CI/CD pipeline design and security remediation to production incident resolution — with a focus on automation, reliability, and DevSecOps practices.

Application Development Analyst at Accenture (2022-03 – Present)

• Audit Support Tool: Owned end-to-end implementation of an internal Audit Support Tool, an Angular SPA backed by Azure Function Apps, Azure SQL, and a CloudFront/S3 frontend on AWS.
• Provisioned and managed multi-environment infrastructure using Terraform, deploying Azure Function Apps within an App Service Environment (ASE v3) for secure, isolated hosting
• Built and maintained CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps to automate infrastructure provisioning (via Terraform) and application build, test, and deployment across environments.
• Configured authentication and secure access controls using Azure App Service Easy Auth and Entra ID app registrations.
• Implemented CloudFront distributions with S3 origins and Lambda@Edge for frontend delivery and security header enforcement.
• Resolved complex production issues spanning authentication, edge functions, database access, and RBAC, improving reliability and reducing deployment friction.
• Capital Committee Operations: Containerized and orchestrated 15+ microservices for an internal capital committee finance and reporting platform on AWS EKS, enabling independent scaling and resilient service delivery.
• Owned day-to-day EKS cluster operations — resource allocation, HPA/VPA auto-scaling configuration, liveness/readiness probes, and namespace-level RBAC — ensuring high availability across environments.
• Reduced container image sizes and hardened pod specs (non-root users, read-only filesystems, resource limits) following CIS Kubernetes benchmarks, improving both security posture and startup performance.
• Managed rolling and blue/green release rollouts on EKS, coordinating with dev teams to minimise downtime and maintain SLA targets during deployments.
• Representation Letter: Handled end-to-end operational support for the Rep Letter application, managing incident and service request tickets through ServiceNow with consistent same-day resolution against a 3-day SLA target.
• Identified and remediated security vulnerabilities across SCA, DAST, and code-level findings (eliminating all open findings) while contributing to the development process through code changes and feature delivery.
• Implemented Azure Key Vault for centralized secrets management, securely storing 20+ application secrets and removing hardcoded credentials.
• Optimized CI/CD pipelines, reducing build time from 30 minutes to 10 minutes (a 65% improvement).
• Configured auto scaling for Azure Function Apps to handle increased application load, ensuring consistent performance and availability during peak usage.
• Designed and implemented an event-driven file upload feature where Excel uploads to an Azure Storage account trigger an Azure Function that parses, validates, and persists the data to the database, eliminating manual data entry.
