DevOps Engineer modernizing cloud platforms with automation, observability, and cost-optimized reliability.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a DevOps role where I can drive automation, CI/CD, and cloud-native migrations with strong observability and cost optimization. I want cross-team collaboration, ownership of reliability (MTTR/SLI/SLO), and continuous improvement through RCA.

I’m a DevOps Engineer with 4+ years of experience building scalable, cost-optimized, and secure multi-cloud architectures. I automate CI/CD pipelines and containerized deployments to help globally distributed teams ship faster and stay stable.

In my current role, I designed and automated CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, ArgoCD, and Terraform—cutting deployment time by 20%. I migrated microservices from ECS/EC2/Elastic Beanstalk to EKS, improving autoscaling response and reducing node-level failures, while standardizing deployments with Helm.

I focus on measurable reliability outcomes: I reduced MTTR by 20% with Prometheus alerting, integrated proactive incident workflows, and delivered 24x7 on-call support with RCA to reduce recurrence. I also drove infra cost down by 27% through EC2 right-sizing, Graviton-based nodes, RI planning, and replacing paid services with open-source tools, while leading legacy modernization and Kubernetes-based improvements. I actively mentor engineers across IaC, observability, and cost-efficient architecture, and I’m a strong advocate for DevOps culture, automation, and cross-team collaboration.
