Principal DevSecOps Architect at VivaOps who cut build times 70% and delivered GitLab-to-ServiceNow change automation.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At VivaOps, I managed senior engineers and architects across enterprise accounts while delivering DevSecOps transformations and Kubernetes application delivery platforms. I refactored shared CI/CD libraries to cut build times by 70%, and built GitLab-to-ServiceNow automation that reduced change approval cycle time by 80% for regulated deployments.
At TIAA, I architected an enterprise Jenkins CI platform supporting approximately 10,000 federated pipelines and helped establish Kubernetes standards for on-premises and hybrid workloads. I’m now extending that platform experience into agentic DevOps, prototyping MCP servers for live Kubernetes and Jenkins context and integrating vulnerability triage into CI/CD pipelines.
