I'm a Senior Site Reliability Engineer with 5+ years of experience in DevOps and SRE. I currently support a GitLab CI/CD platform used by 20,000+ developers across AWS EKS and on-premise environments, working at the intersection of platform engineering and incident response.
My day-to-day includes diagnosing and resolving CI/CD pipeline failures, running root cause analysis, improving reliability, and automating repetitive operational work. Before moving into SRE, I worked as a DevOps Engineer at Tata Consultancy Services.
Core stack: Kubernetes (EKS and on-prem), Helm, Docker, Terraform, Ansible, GitLab CI/CD, Python, Bash, Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Dynatrace, PostgreSQL (Patroni/PgBouncer) and HashiCorp Vault.
Certifications: AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner and Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate. I am currently preparing for the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) exam.
I'm looking for full-time, permanent Senior SRE, Platform Engineer or DevOps Engineer roles, remote from India. I'm interested in teams that care about reliability, observability and developer experience.
